Shaped is a machine-learning platform for data teams to build real-time, personalized recommendation and search systems. We want to provide companies with the same powerful personalization stack used at TikTok, Meta, and Amazon.

We're based in Brooklyn, New York and backed by top investors like Y-Combinator and executives from Meta, Google and Amazon.

Job Description

We’re looking for a staff level designer to help shape the future of Shaped. This work will require excellence in systems thinking and understanding the needs of our two primary users: engineers looking to work with our API and companies looking to gather insights from their use of our product

In this role you'll be working 1:1 with the founders of Shaped to design product features needed over the next few sprints as well as craft a long term vision for the future of the company

This is not a role that requires pixel perfect designs created over 3 months — it requires a sense of when to move fast and slow so we can scale the company as a team

Qualifications

Open to wearing multiple hats occasionally: getting product design feedback directly from customers, designing graphics for marketing content, or helping with a blog post

Experience working directly and closely with engineers and or data teams

6+ years of industry experience in a product design role

Operate well autonomously within a fast paced environment

B2B, SaaS, developer tools, data, analytics tools (Segment, Amplitude.) or AI design experience advantageous
