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
- 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.
