About Us

Nectar Social is building the AI-native operating system for social commerce. We're not adding AI to an old playbook; we're rebuilding the entire category from the ground up. Backed by $10.6M from GV (Google Ventures) and True Ventures, we're working with leading consumer brands like OLIPOP, Tower 28, Hatch, and Magic Spoon. Founded by Stanford/Yale alums, we're based in Palo Alto and growing fast.

The Role

We're looking for a Product Designer with exceptional craft—someone who obsesses over the details and has a track record of shipping beautiful products. This is a high‑autonomy role where you'll own the future of how brands connect with communities through AI. You'll move fast, ship constantly, and shape the design language of a new category. If you're excited about building in an AI‑native environment from day one, we'd love to talk.

What You'll Do

• Own core end‑to‑end product experiences
• Pioneer new design patterns for AI‑human collaboration in social commerce
• Conduct user research with social media managers and community teams
• Build and maintain design systems that scale across our growing platform
• Collaborate with engineering and XFN teams to ship high‑quality products

What We're Looking For

• Preferably 3-5 years of product design experience
• Hybrid work model with 3 days per week in our Palo Alto office
• Strong portfolio demonstrating end‑to‑end design process from research to shipped products
• Experience designing data‑heavy interfaces, dashboards, or analytics products
• Understanding of AI/ML product design and human‑AI interaction patterns
• Customer‑obsessed with empathy for social media and community teams
• Comfortable with ambiguity and rapid iteration in a startup environment

Bonus Points

• Experience in social media management, community building, or influencer marketing
• Background in e‑commerce or conversion optimization
• Previous startup experience, especially in AI or social tech

What we offer

• Competitive salary and significant equity package
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance with 401(k) matching
• Opportunity to shape product design at a fast‑growing, well‑funded AI-native startup
• Work alongside experienced founders with deep Meta and product expertise

Nectar Social is an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity and inclusion.
