The Role
We're hiring a hands-on Core Product Designer to own key user experiences across our mobile app and web surfaces. You'll partner directly with founders, PMs, and engineers to ship high-impact features, iterate with data, and bring craft and clarity to complex systems.
What You'll Do
- Lead end-to-end design for new and existing features (mobile first, with responsive web) from discovery to polished delivery.
- Translate ambiguous problems into clear flows, wireframes, prototypes, and production-ready UI in Figma.
- Instrument, review, and interpret product metrics and user feedback; iterate post-launch for measurable impact.
- Write crisp specs/requirements and collaborate tightly with engineering on scope, states, and edge cases.
- Raise the bar on visual polish, interaction quality, and accessibility; maintain coherent design systems.
- Work across glamorous and "unsexy" surfaces with equal enthusiasm-no ego, sleeves rolled up.
- 3-8 years designing for external users, with strong mobile app work and demonstrable web experience.
- A track record at Seed-Series C startups (or similarly fast-paced teams with strong design culture).
- Depth in 1 to 5 iteration: improving live products, not just 0→1 launches.
- Comfort designing in ambiguity and making logical, defensible design decisions.
- Research & analytics fluency
- Portfolio showing mobile-first consumer UX, shipped work, and before/after impact.
- Proficiency in Figma (components, variants, prototyping) and modern design workflows.
- Clear product thinking: problem framing, hypothesis setting, experiment design, and outcome measurement.
- Excellent written communication-able to create specs that unblock engineering.
- Education: Bachelor's degree from an accredited institution (US-based preferred) or equivalent practical experience.
- Builder mindset, fast feedback loops, high ownership.
- Data-informed, user-obsessed, and pragmatic about scope.
- We value clarity, candor, and kindness.
Interview Process (Typical 4 Steps)
- Intro screen (30 min)
- Portfolio deep dive (systems thinking + craft)
- Working session with PM/Eng (requirements & iteration)
- Final conversation (team fit, logistics)
