Job description

Product Designer (3–6 Years Experience)

About the Role

We’re hiring a product designer who wants true ownership and the opportunity to help build something from zero to one. This is a high-impact role for someone who cares deeply about craft, systems thinking, and shaping the future of product design alongside a highly collaborative, design-focused team.

You’ll design tools used by designers, researchers, product managers, and marketers — transforming complex systems into intuitive, elegant user experiences. This role is ideal for someone energized by ambiguity, fast iteration, and close collaboration with founders and engineers.

What You’ll Do

• Own end-to-end product design for core experiences — from early discovery and user flows to polished, production-ready UI

• Partner closely with founders and engineers to shape product direction and make thoughtful, fast decisions

• Design and evolve scalable systems, including flows, states, edge cases, and interaction patterns

• Build and maintain a robust design system that grows with the product and team

• Translate complex AI-driven and research-heavy workflows into simple, approachable experiences

• Iterate quickly based on user feedback, internal usage, and real-world customer needs

• Elevate the overall bar for usability, clarity, and craft across the product

Who You Are

• 3–6 years of product design experience at a product-led company (consumer, B2B, AI, or marketplace experience is a plus)

• Experienced shipping and iterating on production-ready products end-to-end

• Highly proficient in Figma, including design systems, prototyping, refinement, and collaboration workflows

• Strong background designing B2B workflows, dashboards, and multi-step onboarding/setup experiences

• Comfortable collaborating closely with engineers on implementation details

• Systems-minded, with strong product instincts and attention to detail

• Skilled at communicating ideas clearly and giving/receiving direct feedback

• Motivated by ownership and excited to help define not just design, but product direction and customer outcomes
