Zocks is a San Francisco–based, privacy-first AI platform that automates and augments the workflows of financial advisors.
Company Overview: We're Zocks, a venture capital-backed AI startup changing the world of financial services, and other industries that value security and privacy. Our founding team built their careers working on real-time communication products, building enterprise platforms, and crafting tools for some of the most security-conscious industries. With experience gained from industry leaders like Twilio, IBM, Microsoft, and Hearsay Systems, we're using AI to bridge human conversations with enterprise systems, starting with financial services. Our focus, although simple, is powerful: reinventing business operations and transforming the areas that often get bogged down by slow, inefficient processes. Our innovative platform allows people to communicate naturally, while we capture the information they need, so they can avoid data entry, streamline their operations, and spend more time on what matters most: their clients. Location: Budapest, XI. (On-site Monday to Thursday, Remote on Fridays) About the Role You'll be the first Staff Product Designer at Zocks. That means two things simultaneously: doing the work and building the practice. There's no playbook for what this level looks like here yet. You'll help write it. That requires earning trust, demonstrating value in ways that are visible to leadership, and navigating ambiguity that goes beyond any individual project. If that sounds like a challenge you'd lean into rather than away from, this role is for you. This comes with real strategic ownership, direct partnership with leadership, and the autonomy to drive initiatives that shape our product and design culture. If you're a senior IC who wants strategic influence without direct reports, this is the role. You'll lead through craft, systems thinking, and mentorship, not headcount.
