Serve as the company’s first designer to define product experience, visual language, interaction patterns, and design systems. Translate complex legal and financial workflows into clear, high-confidence interfaces, build visual systems for ownership, distributions, and audit trails, and shape long-term product and brand direction working closely with founders in NYC.
We are building a modern trust company.

The team
Trusts hold trillions of dollars and are one of the main ways wealth moves between generations. A trust company acts as a trustee for trusts, essentially a legal bridge between generations by holding assets and executing the specific wishes of a family. Sava is building a new full-stack, chartered trust company. Not just software for banks and lawyers, but the actual regulated entity.
We have raised a $10M seed round from Y Combinator, Gradient Ventures, Max Mullen (Instacart founder), SV Angel and other great investors.
You will define the product experience from the ground up.
- Design product surfaces that make complex financial and legal structures understandable
- Build visual systems for ownership, distributions, and audit trails
- Establish the product’s visual language, interaction patterns, and brand from the ground up
- Turn complex requirements and workflows into a clear, high-confidence user experience
- And much more.
You will be our first designer. The design systems and product language you create will shape the company for years.
You are someone who likes hard problems that matter.
- Have designed complex, data-heavy products before
- Can go from a rough idea to a high-fidelity product on your own
- Care deeply about clarity, structure, and visual trust signals
- Have strong product judgment and taste in interfaces
- Are comfortable on the technical side—you've probably used modern AI tools to spin up prototypes or side projects yourself
- Are excited to expand your skill set beyond design into product more broadly
You do not need prior experience in finance or trusts.
You will work in person in NYC with the founders:
- Nimit Maru, 2x YC founder, previously started and sold two companies to public companies, most recently Fullstack Academy
- Rush Sadiwala, experienced serial founder with deep financial and operational experience
We are building a small, high-caliber team. The first designers define the product culture of a company. This role is that.
If you want to design something foundational, difficult, and important, you should talk to us.
