Job description

We are looking for a Senior Product Designer with 5+ years of experience to own core end-to-end product experiences and shape design for a new category in social commerce. This is the first in-house design hire at a fast-growing, well-funded startup.

The Opportunity

We are building the operating system for a new era of commerce, where community, conversation, and shopping converge. Backed by top-tier investors (recent $10M+ Series A), we are an AI-native company founded by ex-Meta product and engineering leaders.

As our first designer, you will have immense ownership in defining the product's look, feel, and user experience from the ground up.

What You'll Do

• Own end-to-end product experiences, from user research to pixel-perfect shipped product.
• Design complex, data-heavy interfaces, dashboards, and analytics tools for B2B customers.
• Pioneer new design patterns for AI-human collaboration in a social commerce context.
• Conduct deep user research with social media managers and community teams to build with empathy.
• Build and maintain a scalable design system as the platform grows.
• Leverage AI tools in your everyday workflow to enhance speed and creativity.
• Collaborate closely with founders and a lean, high-impact engineering team.

Who You Are

• You have 5+ years of experience in end-to-end product design.
• You have thrived at an early-stage startup (Seed to Series B) and enjoy the autonomy and ambiguity that comes with it.
• You have a strong portfolio designing B2B SaaS products, particularly those with data-heavy interfaces.
• You have experience in social media, community building, influencer marketing, or e-commerce.
• You hold a design degree from a top-tier HCI or design program.
• You have a strong understanding of AI/ML product design and human-AI interaction patterns, and you actively use AI in your workflow.
• You are deeply customer-obsessed with genuine empathy for the daily challenges of social media and community teams.
