The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  DE Shaw is hiring a UI Designer in Cincinnati, OH.

• Role description

  You see a banner ad; we see a chance for Lottie to flex, and we want an UI Designer who reacts to DE Shaw's canvas the same way. This is where 5 years becomes $53,000 - $69,000, where contract hours meet real creative ownership, and where DE Shaw bets on you.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Balance creative ambition with budget, timeline, and technical constraints
  • Coax usable feedback out of a divided review with a sharper set of questions
  • Storyboard and direct photo, video, and content shoots end to end
  • Translate Stress Management research findings into a visual the whole floor can act on
  • Pair Figma craft with Collaboration thinking to solve fuzzy creative problems
  • Borrow structure from film editing to fix an User Research sequence that drags
  • Knit copy and art into a single argument instead of two parallel monologues
  • Prototype interface ideas fast enough to kill the weak ones cheaply

  What You'll Bring

  • Comfort owning the unglamorous middle of a contract project
  • Track record that proves you can empathy-led ship under deadline pressure
  • Willingness to relocate to Cincinnati, OH, or to make remote work
  • 5+ years owning outcomes, not just completing tasks

  DE Shaw keeps creative systems running for clients who never think about them, which is the relentlessly-kind Cincinnati, OH point. Expect a culture where curiosity is rewarded and asking "why" is never seen as a challenge.

  We do not just dangle $53,000 - $69,000; we back it with mentorship, a real benefits suite, and schedules that bend around Cincinnati, OH living.

  This opening was refreshed recently and remains an active priority for the team.

  We'd rather hear from you sooner than later, so don't sit on this UI Designer opening.
