Dear Meridian Design team,
Your post for a Senior Product Designer to help take the new agent-builder from 0→1 is exactly the work I want to be doing. At Vertex Pay I led the checkout redesign and partnered with our risk team on an agent-assisted review flow — so I've shipped both the craft and the ambiguous, model-in-the-loop problems your roadmap describes.
A few things that map directly to your team:
- 0→1 product design with a design-system backbone (I built Vertex Pay's from scratch).
- Comfort designing for agent uncertainty — confidence states, fallbacks, human override.
- A research habit: I run my own lightweight studies rather than waiting on a queue.
I'd love to talk about where Meridian wants the product to be a year out, and how design can get it there sooner.
Warmly,
Jordan Avery

Hi Lucas — I'm reaching out about the Senior Product Designer role on your agent-builder team. I led the checkout redesign at Vertex Pay and recently shipped an agent-assisted review flow, so the 0→1, model-in-the-loop work you're hiring for is squarely where I do my best thinking. Would you be open to a quick chat this week? Happy to share the Vertex case study. — Jordan
To · Technical recruiter (Meridian)
Hi — following up on my application for the Senior Product Designer role (ref #MER-44820). I'm especially drawn to the agent-native scope and would welcome the chance to walk through my fintech + agent design work. Is there a good time to connect? — Jordan

Steer your strategist on this role — they see it instantlyLove the resume tailoring. Small fix — please lead the summary with the agent fraud-review flow, that's the strongest hook for this team.
Done — moved the agent fraud-review flow to the top of your Vertex bullets and re-led the summary on it. Resume v3 is what we submitted. Good call.
Heads up — I found a warm path via Sam O. (your old colleague, now at Meridian). I'll draft the intro but won't send without your go-ahead. Want me to proceed?
