Job description

Описание

We're hiring a Product Designer to shape the core product experience of working with an AI employee. Ad creative and the marketing website sit with other designers. This is not a role for someone who wants clean briefs, mature playbooks, or perfectly scoped tickets. The category is still being invented. You'll work from messy problems, ambiguous user behavior, technical constraints, and fast-moving product bets, then turn them into simple, trustworthy, high-craft product experiences.

Задачи

• Design core Viktor product surfaces across Slack, Microsoft Teams, the web, desktop, and mobile apps, onboarding, integrations, permissions, billing, collaboration, and admin flows
• Set the visual bar for the product: typography, color, spacing, and composition that make Viktor feel premium and trustworthy at first glance
• Turn vague, high-stakes product problems into clear interaction models
• Work directly with engineers to ship fast, not hand off and disappear
• Prototype AI-native UX patterns before the industry has settled on obvious answers
• Improve clarity, trust, and control in moments where AI behavior can feel confusing
• Sweat the details: empty states, loading states, error states, edge cases, copy, spacing, hierarchy
• Help raise the product taste bar across everything users touch

Требования

• Strong product taste. You can explain why one flow feels obvious and another feels broken
• Exceptional visual design as a core strength. Typography, color, layout, composition: your interfaces look world-class, not just work well, and your portfolio proves it
• Very high craft in interaction design and detail
• High autonomy. You do not need every problem fully specified before you can move
• Speed. You can go from ambiguous problem to prototype to shipped product quickly
• Systems thinking. You design reusable patterns, not isolated screens
• Comfort with ambiguity. AI products do not have mature playbooks yet
• Strong collaboration with engineers. You understand constraints and use them well
• You ship beyond Figma: you build prototypes in code (Cursor, Claude Code, Lovable, v0 or similar) and work them through with engineers
• You can sell a design decision to a room in a short, persuasive story
• A portfolio with real product work, not just beautiful case-study decoration
• You've worked on products where interaction quality, speed, and trust really matter
• You care about reducing hesitation, not just making the UI look premium
• You can design both the happy path and the weird edge case
• You're comfortable moving through ambiguity without waiting for perfect requirements
• You want to invent interaction patterns for AI employees, not copy SaaS dashboards from 2021
• Будет плюсом: You've designed for a product-led company with very high UX standards; You have opinions about AI product UX because you've fought with the tools yourself; You understand the difference between a polished Figma prototype and something people can actually use

Условия

Small team, high trust, low process. Decisions are made by owners, not committees. You will ship your first week. You will talk to users your first day. We don't do alignment meetings or stakeholder syncs. We build things, see if they work, and iterate. We're one of the fastest-growing companies in the world. The product works. The market is pulling. This is a rare window: everyone here owns something real. Not a task. A surface of the company that customers depend on. That doesn't last forever. Right now, it's still true. Top-of-the-market salary and the kind of ownership that only exists at this stage.
