Job description

Position Summary

We’re hiring our first Product Designer to define the experience layer of new ways investors work with AI. This is less about pixel-perfect UI and more about inventing net-new UX - navigating complex tasks, ambiguous problem spaces, and interaction patterns that don’t yet exist.

What we’re looking for

• Systems-level UX: You design flows for complexity - multi-step tasks, agent feedback loops, and rich data.
• Technical curiosity: You can prototype with real data (and ideally a bit of code) to learn fast.
• Taste + rigor: Strong information architecture, interaction design, and usability instincts.
• Velocity: You move from sketch → prototype → shipped, bringing teams along with crisp rationale.
• Opinionated: Deep level of understanding of current design landscape and patterns, making both overarching design patterns and granular micro-interaction design decisions based on understanding rather than preference - diving deep on unknown trends in order to build the best product.

Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end UX for core products; define patterns that scale.
• Prototype high-fidelity interactions; validate with users; iterate quickly.
• Partner with engineering to shape feasible APIs/constraints that improve the UX.
• Establish the design system and foundations for accessibility and consistency.
• Own the overall storybook of our customer facing surfaces.

Nice to have

• Experience designing AI-forward products (agents, retrieval, model feedback, transparency/controls).
• Experience designing data rich products (large tabular data, charts and graphing, reporting)
• Engineering and code experience

Logistics

• Compensation: $165K - $250K salary, $100K-200K equivalent in new hire equity (4 year vest)
• Location: New York City. We are a fully in-office team working out of Midtown Manhattan Monday through Friday. We allow for WFH days when anyone is traveling, but we do not allow for permanent remote work.
• Benefits
  • Generous health, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401k with 3% automatic contribution (no vesting)
  • Paid Lunches
  • Wellness and Citi Bike benefit
