ABOUT THE COMPANY

We’re a fast-growing, venture-backed startup on a mission to help people feel more connected to themselves and to others. Our team is reimagining how technology can be used not just for productivity, but to bring people closer together, foster real community, and support mental and emotional wellbeing.

We’re creating a product that feels human at its core. A space where design truly sets the tone for warmth, safety, and connection. Backed by leading investors and angels, and led by a founder with a proven track record of impact, we’ve already built early momentum with a small, ambitious team in San Francisco.

This is your chance to join at the very beginning, shape the product and brand from the ground up, and create an experience that millions could one day use to feel more supported and connected in their daily lives.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re looking for a Founding Product Designer who’s excited to lead design end-to-end : from crafting product experiences to defining the visual identity that shapes how people connect and feel within our platform.

This is not a role where you’ll inherit systems—you’ll build them. You’ll design intuitive, emotionally resonant experiences across mobile and web, prototype rapidly, and collaborate directly with the founder, engineers, and product leaders to bring our vision of community-driven technology to life.

If you’ve ever wanted to set the design language for a product whose mission is to make the world feel smaller, kinder, and more connected, this is the opportunity.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Craft warm, intuitive, and human-centered experiences across mobile and web.

Prototype and iterate quickly with wireframes and interactive flows.

Establish and maintain a cohesive visual identity across product, web, and brand.

Collaborate closely with engineering and product to ship meaningful features.

Shape the design culture and systems as the very first design hire.

WHY JOIN US

Mission with Heart – Your work directly helps people feel supported, connected, and part of something bigger.

Ownership & Influence – As the founding designer, you’ll define our design language, systems, and product identity.

Small but Mighty Team – Work closely with the founder and early team, where every voice matters and every pixel makes a difference.

Strong Backing – Supported by world-class investors and advisors.

Competitive Pay & Equity – Recognizing the importance of your role in our success.

Hybrid San Francisco – Join us for in-person jams while enjoying the flexibility of hybrid work.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

4+ years of product design experience, ideally in consumer tech or fast-moving startups.

A portfolio showcasing thoughtful, emotive, and human-first design.

Strong UX / UI skills, especially for mobile-first consumer products.

Expertise in Figma and design systems.

A bias for action and comfort owning projects end-to-end.

Nice to Haves :

Experience at leading design studios or early consumer startups.

CSS / HTML skills for Webflow maintenance.

A track record of high design ownership in past roles.

To apply, please email james.roberts@searchability.com.

We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all qualified candidates.
