About the role
Responsibilities:
- Own ambiguous, strategically important product areas from problem framing through launch and iteration.
- Partner with founders, product, and engineering to influence what we build, not only how it is designed.
- Turn complex research, data, and AI workflows into simple, trustworthy product experiences.
- Set a high bar for interaction, visual craft, systems thinking, and the quality of what ships.
- Create clarity when the problem is poorly defined, identify the important trade-offs, and move teams toward strong decisions.
- Stay deeply hands-on while raising the bar for other designers through critique, collaboration, and strong examples.
- Help shape the design culture, principles, systems, and ways of working as the team grows.
Requirements:
- Exceptional product, interaction, and visual design craft across shipped products.
- A track record of owning complex or high-impact product areas with substantial autonomy.
- Strong product judgment and comfort operating without a fully specified roadmap or PRD.
- Ability to influence senior cross-functional partners while remaining open to evidence and better ideas.
- Strong systems thinking, clear communication, and a high bar for the details of the final product.
Nice to have:
- Experience with complex B2B, SaaS, data, productivity, workflow, AI, or agentic products; or experience helping establish design practices in a small team.
