Job summary

Inside Real Estate is seeking a Product Designer to own end-to-end interface design for core products on a lean, high-ownership team. You will shape and refine the design system, design AI-assisted experiences, and collaborate with PMs and engineers to move features from concept to ship.

You’ll review AI-generated outputs, ensure library compliance, and contribute to craft-oriented, user-centered design decisions in a fast-moving real estate tech environment.

Qualifications

• 3–5+ years of product design experience, ideally in B2B SaaS or a fast-moving product org.
• A strong portfolio showing end-to-end craft: interaction design, prototyping, and shipped, real-world work.
• Comfort designing within (and contributing to) an established design system on a day-to-day basis.
• Experience with modern design tooling (Figma or equivalent); openness to working alongside AI design agents as part of the workflow.

Responsibilities

• Drive product design for the Inside Real Estate family of products: interface design, interaction patterns, prototyping, and design quality as features move from concept to ship.
• Design within and extend the design system, using the component library as the source of truth and evolving it as needed.
• Partner with PMs and engineers on standard feature work and on larger zero-to-one initiatives.
• Review and refine AI-generated design output, ensuring quality before handoff.
• Bring craft to AI-native product experiences, designing conversational UI patterns and trust-building details.
• Participate in customer listening, usability checks on prototypes, and feed signals back into design decisions.
• Help maintain design system documentation and flag gaps as you encounter them.

Job description

About the Team

The Inside Real Estate Product Design team is a small, high-leverage team that operates at the intersection of product design, design systems, and AI-assisted workflows, using AI agents to scale our output as new surfaces come online. AI is a structural part of how we design and build, from day-to-day production to quality review.

The Role

We're looking for a Product Designer who can own end-to-end interface design for our core products. You'll do the hands-on work: interaction design, prototyping, component design, and quality oversight as features ship, while also helping shape and refine the design system that increasingly guides both human and AI-generated output.

This is a high-ownership role on a lean team, with real influence over the patterns, tools, and standards we establish from day one.

What You'll Do

• Drive product design for the Inside Real Estate family of products: interface design, interaction patterns, prototyping, and design quality as features move from concept to ship.
• Design within and extend the design system, using our component library as the source of truth, and helping evolve it as new patterns emerge.
• Partner closely with PMs and engineers on standard feature work (briefed requests, clear scope, fast turnaround) and on larger zero-to-one initiatives (early, exploratory, iterative).
• Review and refine AI-generated design output: our design generation agent produces first-pass, library-compliant mockups for BAU work; you'll review, refine, and approve before handoff.
• Bring craft to AI-native product experiences, designing conversational UI patterns, trust-building details, and progressive disclosure that make AI feel like a knowledgeable advisor.
• Participate in customer listening, sitting in on customer calls, running usability checks on prototypes, and feeding signals back into design decisions.
• Help maintain design system documentation and flag component gaps as you encounter them.

What We're Looking For

• 3–5+ years of product design experience, ideally in B2B SaaS or a fast-moving product org.
• A strong portfolio showing end-to-end craft: interaction design, prototyping, and shipped, real-world work.
• Comfort designing within (and contributing to) an established design system on a day-to-day basis.
• Experience with modern design tooling (Figma or equivalent); openness to working alongside AI design agents as part of the workflow.
• Ability to work with both tight, well-scoped briefs and ambiguous, early-stage problems, and to know which mode a given request calls for.
• Strong prototyping skills: comfortable making ideas tangible quickly for reviews and user testing.
• A collaborative, low-ego approach to working with PMs, engineers, and design leadership on a small team where everyone's working closely together.

Nice to Have

• Experience designing conversational or AI-assisted interfaces.
• Experience in real estate, proptech, or another vertical SaaS space.
• Familiarity with design QA/audit workflows (reviewing shipped work against a design system).

Position Details:

This is a part time contract position that will be around 20 hours per week.
