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.

You'll Thrive Here If You Have

  • 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

    • What You'll Bring (Qualifications)

  • 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.

    • How We Work

  • 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)
    • Create a job alert for this search
