About the role:

Foam builds software for the people who run the business side of the creator economy - managers, agencies and the brands they work with. The product is live, growing, and being reshaped quickly.
We're hiring a Product Designer to own a set of existing product surfaces end to end: understand how they're used, sharpen them, and ship improvements at a steady cadence, working directly with product and engineering.

You'll join a small design team and work in a culture where product partners bring a clear point of view, design materialises it, and we test it with real users fast.

Here’s what you’ll do day-to-day:

• Own the experience of established product lines: diagnose, redesign, iterate, and ship.
• Take a brief that's more conversation than document and return with something better than was asked for.
• Design across the full range of real-world states - sparse data, dense data, mobile, desktop, embedded and standalone - so every variation feels intentional.
• Build interactive prototypes that engineers can feel, not just read.
• Work inside a shared, evolving design system, reusing existing patterns by default and proposing new ones only where they earn their place.
• Run lightweight user sessions on your own prototypes and fold what you learn back in.

Here’s what we’re looking for:

• A portfolio that shows range: more than one industry or product type, and evidence you've oriented quickly in unfamiliar territory.
• Startup-native. You've lived through priorities changing mid-flight and kept a good attitude about it.
• Low ego, high resilience. A rejected design is normal Tuesday work, not a verdict.
• Comfortable with ambiguity. You form a point of view from incomplete information, commit, and let users tell you whether you were right.
• Strong craft - components, variants, responsive layouts, prototyping - with a real eye for visual detail.
• Clear, direct communicator who works well asynchronously across US and European time zones.

Our values:

At Whalar, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) isn't just a statement, it's our collective strength. Our people are our superpower.

We champion a culture of respect and empathy, fostering a sense of belonging that transcends demographics. We hire individuals of all backgrounds and empower them to thrive, challenge stereotypes, and actively break societal barriers.

The perks:

Foam provides flexible benefits and collaborative work environments/experiences, so employees can work productively in a setting that best and uniquely suits their needs.

• 25 days of PTO + Sick days + Winter break
• Retirement planning with employer match
• Monthly phone/internet reimbursement
• New joiner's Home office allowance
• Up to 16 weeks of paid parental leave
• Identity theft protection & Legal assistance
• Company Paid Life & Disability Insurance
