Job description

# Founding Product & Design EngineerTurn relationship intelligence into a product people can understand, trust, and act on.Founding team · Full-timeRemote / Austin / SF / NYApply for this roleThe brief## Why this role existsIntrod’s underlying systems are complicated. The product must not feel complicated.Users may bring thousands of contacts, conflicting identity signals, incomplete histories, several possible paths, and an important goal. This person turns that complexity into clear decisions and carefully designed workflows.This is not a conventional Product Manager. It is a hands-on builder who can investigate a problem, design an answer, implement it, test it with users, and ship it.The work## What this person will own* Network Setup and source connection experiences* People and Company discovery* Missions and targets* Relationship paths* Connector approval* Introduction drafting, review, and completion* Communities and Collections* Integrations and Settings* Onboarding and activation* Evidence and confidence presentation* Responsive, accessible, production-quality interfaces* Product instrumentation and behavioral learning* Design-system consistency across the dashboard and extensionRelevant paths## Who may recognize themselves* 01Former product founder* 02Design engineer* 03Product-minded frontend or full-stack engineer* 04Zero-to-one product builder* 05Senior designer who can implement production interfacesShow the work## Candidate evidenceShow us a product you personally took from ambiguity to a shipped experience, including what you designed, what you built, what you removed, and what changed after real users encountered it.No implied promise## The path from hereThis person may grow into design or product leadership, but the founder remains the final product authority through launch. This opportunity does not promise Head of Product, CPO, or board status.Contribution and ownership## Ownership should follow contribution.Introd is being built by people who think and act like owners. Depending on the opportunity, commitment, applicable law, and formal approval, compensation may include stock options subject to the company’s equity plan, vesting terms, exercise conditions, and required corporate approvals.A founding title describes the stage and level of contribution. It does not by itself create founder, officer, director, shareholder, or governance status.How we work## How we work when the map is incompleteIntrod is still early enough that important decisions will not arrive with perfect evidence or detailed instructions. We expect people to ask good questions, form a point of view, make the work visible, and move.We care about speed, but not the kind created by leaving a mess for someone else. We care about ambition, but not performance. We tell one another the truth, stay close to users, document consequential decisions, and protect the trust people place in the product.You will have real ownership here. That means room to shape the work and responsibility for what happens after it ships.A wider field of view## Bring the path that brought you hereThe strongest teams are built by people with different histories, perspectives, and ways of seeing a problem. Introd considers qualified applicants without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, disability, veteran status, or any other status protected by applicable law.If the work sounds like yours but your background does not match every conventional pattern, we still want to hear from you.Founding teamFounding Product & Design EngineerRelationship: Founding team · Full-timeLocation: Remote / Austin / SF / NYApply for this role Bring the path that brought you here.Founding Product & Design Engineer## Apply for this role.Tell us what draws you to Introd and show us how you think about the work specific to this role.We ask only for what helps us understand your work.
