Job description

the company is a media and community platform where over 300,000 creators give their biggest fans access to exclusive work and experiences. We offer creators a variety of ways to engage with their fans and build a lasting business including: paid memberships, free memberships, community chats, live video, and selling to fans directly with one-time purchases.

Ultimately our goal is simple: fund the creative class. And we're leaders in that space, with:

• $10 billion+ generated by creators since the company's inception
• 100 million+ free memberships for fans who may not be ready to pay just yet, and
• 25 million+ paid memberships on the company today.

We're continuing to invest heavily in building the best creator platform with the best team in the creator economy and are looking for a Product Designer to support our mission.

This role is open to remote candidates in select U.S. locations. For those based in New York or San Francisco, we ask that you work from the office 3 days per week on a hybrid work model.

About the Team

We’re hiring a Product Designer to help shape the experiences that define how creators and fans connect on the company. You’ll work on meaningful product problems across the creator and fan journey, from how creators share and grow their work to how fans discover, engage with, and build deeper relationships with the creators they love.

You’ll tackle complex, high-impact opportunities that span the product, bringing clarity to ambiguous problems and turning ideas into thoughtful, polished experiences. Your work may involve evolving core product experiences, exploring new ways for creators to showcase their work and connect with fans, or designing tools and systems that help creators build sustainable businesses and engaged communities.

You’ll be part of a collaborative design organization, partnering closely with Product, Engineering, and Research to shape product direction, explore opportunities, and bring experiences from early concepts through launch. You’ll have the opportunity to make an impact on both the details of the experience and the broader product vision.

About the Role

• Solve meaningful product problems through thoughtful design, prototyping, and iteration
• Partner with Product, Engineering, and Research to develop and ship end-to-end experiences
• Own design projects from early exploration through launch and iteration
• Create polished, intuitive experiences that help creators build businesses and deepen relationships with fans
• Contribute to a high bar for craft and collaboration across the design team

About You

• 4+ years of experience designing and shipping end-to-end product experiences
• A portfolio demonstrating thoughtful product design, strong craft, and meaningful impact
• Strong collaboration and communication skills, with experience working closely with Product and Engineering
• Curiosity about AI and emerging tools, with an interest in exploring how they can enhance your design process
• Excited to tackle evolving product challenges, with the curiosity and creativity to turn complex problems into simple, intuitive experiences
• A deep commitment to craft, product excellence, and learning
• A humble, collaborative approach and a bias toward action

the company operates under a hybrid work model, where employees based in office locations are expected to come into the office three days per week, excluding sick time and paid leave. The goal of this policy is to be intentional about the in‑person time we spend together to strengthen the feeling of community at the company. Candidates hired into remote-eligible roles are not expected to meet the same requirements.

At the company, we believe in fair and transparent pay. In compliance with New York and California pay transparency laws, we are sharing the expected salary range for this role.
