Benefits offered by this job

Meaningful equity

Job summary

Socket.dev is looking for a founding product designer to own the end-to-end product experience and shape how users move from idea to a shipped iPhone app.

You will work directly with the founder and engineers to turn AI workflows into intuitive steps, decide what belongs on each screen, and build a coherent design system as the product grows. This is a full-time, remote worldwide role with meaningful equity.

Qualifications

• Experience designing consumer apps and SaaS products.
• Ability to define pragmatic patterns and design systems.
• Strong portfolio showing ownership of product design decisions.

Responsibilities

• Own the product experience across onboarding, planning, design, building, testing, subscriptions, and publishing.
• Turn complicated AI workflows into steps that feel obvious.
• Decide what belongs on a screen and what should not exist.
• Design for both sides of x1: the creation product and the iPhone apps our users are trying to ship.
• Work directly with the founder and engineers in a tight loop: understand -> hypothesize -> prototype -> ship -> measure -> change.
• Own outcomes, not just screens. Define the metric, ship the smallest useful test, read the result, and run the next test.
• Use funnels, product data, recordings, user calls, and experiments to improve activation, completion, retention, and paid conversion.
• Build the patterns and design system that keep x1 coherent as the product grows.
• Get close to implementation. If you can prototype or ship UI in code, even better.
