Job details:
"Great design isn't decoration - it's the difference between tools people tolerate and products they love."
If that resonates, we should talk.
We’re a fast-moving startup solving complex, systemic problems hidden deep in Industry. This isn’t about polishing checkout flows or reimagining Spotify for Dribbble likes. We’re building ground-up, zero-to-one products that require deep architectural thinking and radical clarity.
This is a Product Designer role not a UI/UX role.
We need a systems thinker who uncovers hidden problems, engineers business logic into elegant interfaces, and thrives in the ambiguity of “figure it out” startup chaos.
Who You Are
- First-Principles Thinker: You don’t just execute requests you question the "why," map underlying logic, and solve problems before users know they exist.
- Radically Self-Aware: You know your superpowers, own your gaps, and communicate design decisions with precision and humility.
- AI-Native: You leverage AI tools daily to accelerate ideation, generate rapid prototypes, and optimize your workflow not as a gimmick, but as a force multiplier.
- Figma Fluent: You build scalable design systems, organize files like an engineer, and create components that survive product evolution.
- High-Energy Owner: Hungry, scrappy, and adaptable. You crave end-to-end ownership from whiteboard chaos to pixel-perfect dev handoff.
What You’ll Own
- End-to-End Design: User research → Information architecture → Wireframes → High-fidelity UI → Developer handoff → Post-launch iteration.
- Complex Problem Solving: Mapping systemic workflows and hidden edge cases in novel product categories.
- Design Systems: Building scalable component libraries that enable rapid iteration as we grow.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Working tightly with engineering and product to ship fast no silos, no "designing in a vacuum."
Why You’ll Love It Here
✅ Zero Red Tape: If your design solves the problem better, we build it. No corporate hierarchy.
✅ Immediate Impact: See your work in production within days, not quarters. Direct feedback loop with real users.
✅ True Ownership: You’re not a “resource”—you’re the design lead on products that define our company.
The logistics
- Experience: Minimum 2+ years in product design (startup experience preferred)
- Location: Remote
