Job description

Ambrook helps American family-run businesses become more profitable and resilient.

From volatile markets to climate shifts, independent operators face mounting pressure. While sustainable investments often yield the best long-term returns, they require financial clarity and capital that fragmented legacy systems can’t provide.

We are rebuilding the financial infrastructure that independent operators rely on. By replacing paperwork with modern tools for accounting, banking, and spending, Ambrook gives owners the data they need to prove viability to lenders and the next generation. We empower the stewards of land and labor to make confident investments in their future.

We’re a Series A startup backed by Thrive Capital, Dylan Field, and Homebrew. We’re looking for early team members to help us untangle the intersection of American industry, climate, and the economy.

You’ll own product design at Ambrook and build your designs into the product autonomously. You’re as comfortable prototyping in code and opening a PR as you are in Figma, and you treat coding agents as part of how you work. We care about your taste, judgment, and willingness to try things.

Product and design have changed dramatically over the last year, and we’ve changed with them. We’ve retooled ourselves around AI to clear out the busy work, give designers more time for their most fulfilling, creative work, and increasingly contribute to implementing those visions end‑to‑end. We’re looking for someone to learn and build alongside our tight, talented design team, staying flexible as the macro shifts while shipping incredible product for our fast‑growing customer base.

What we look for

• You have a track record of integrating with customers and experts to find untapped product opportunities
• You can take an idea from a sketch to a working prototype to a shipped PR
• You are fluent with design and AI tools, comfortable concepting a design proposal pitch, prototyping it into something compelling, and pairing with engineers or coding agents to build
• You demonstrate a pragmatic approach to taste and craft, flexing impressive interfaces while accommodating the unexpected constraints of industrial personas
• You’re curious about and empathetic to the domain we operate in
• Your portfolio or presented works do a good job telling the story of your experience, skills, and craft

You’ll report to Jeff Anders (co‑founder and head of design) and collaborate closely with Calvin Ku (product designer), Dan Schlosser (co‑founder and head of product), Tiffany Yue (product manager), and Ali Aas (creative director), as well as many other diverse folks across the company.
