Courted
Principal Product Designer & Researcher at Courted
About Courted
Courted is the leading AI-powered platform for real estate recruiting, retention, and market intelligence. We help brokerages and teams understand agent performance, recruit strategically, and retain top talent – all in one place.
The real estate industry moves over $100B in annual commissions, and it’s still powered by spreadsheets, cold calls, and guesswork. We’re changing that with AI. Our platform combines data, workflow, and machine learning to make every recruiting and retention decision smarter.
We’re an early-stage, high-growth SaaS company shipping fast, working smart, and building transformative tools for the next generation of real estate leaders.
The Role
We’re looking for a Product Designer who loves solving problems and thrives in a fast-paced environment. You’ll work end-to-end across the design process – turning insights into ideas and bringing them to life through thoughtful workflows.
At Courted, we place huge emphasis on user-centric design – transforming complex real estate processes into simple, powerful tools. You’ll dive deep into how people use our platform and find opportunities to make their day-to-day work easier and more efficient. This is a great role for someone eager to grow, take ownership across the full product lifecycle, and help shape the future of Courted.

Contribute to end-to-end feature design

Translate research notes
and interviews into clear problem statements, user flows, and prioritized opportunities
Create low-fi sketches , clickable prototypes, and high-fidelity mocks to validate ideas quickly
Partner closely with our Visual Designer
to refine layouts, states, and specs so designs are fully ready for engineering handoff
Collaborate with engineers
through handoff, build, and pre-launch reviews
Maintain and extend our design system
– add components, document patterns, and improve consistency
Support ongoing UX improvements
by identifying opportunities to simplify, streamline, or elevate existing experiences
Document design rationale
so product, engineering, and sales teams stay aligned
Use metrics and feedback
to improve shipped features over time
What You Bring
3–5 years of full-time experience
in product design, ideally within a SaaS or fast-paced startup environment
Curious and proactive mindset
– you ask questions, seek context, and quickly learn new tools or technologies to get the job done
Strong end-to-end design process
– from identifying the right problems to solve, to exploring solutions, and making smart tradeoffs along the way
High attention to detail
– you care about polish and consistency, ensuring your work feels complete and ready for launch
Systems thinker
who can simplify complex workflows into clean interfaces for accomplishing difficult tasks
Organized executor
– you manage your time well, communicate clearly, and follow through to deliver thoughtful, high-quality work
Interest in AI and data-driven products , with a desire to understand how things work under the hood
Familiarity with modern design tools
like Figma, and comfort applying core product design skills to translate complex ideas into clear, actionable solutions.
Why Courted

You’ll ship features end-to-end and see your work go live to thousands of users
High velocity:
Tight feedback loops, minimal bureaucracy, maximum learning
AI + vertical depth:
Build at the intersection of machine learning and a $100B+ industry that’s just beginning to modernize

Compensation: $110,000 - $130,000
Health, dental, and vision insurance
401k and generous PTO policy
