About this role
About the Role
Join an early-stage AI recruiting startup as its first full-time designer. You will shape product direction and brand, helping create useful, polished experiences for candidates and employers.
What You'll Do
Identify user needs and product opportunities, then help prioritize what to build.
Lead end-to-end design, from discovery and concepts through prototypes, polished interfaces, and launch.
Establish a consistent visual identity across the product, website, and other brand touchpoints.
Build design system components and standards that help engineering move quickly while maintaining quality.
Collaborate closely with engineers, speak with users, and iterate based on how people use the product.
What We're Looking For
A functional portfolio demonstrating shipped, high-quality modern desktop B2B or SaaS products, with strong interaction and visual design.
Product design experience spanning user research, strategy, flows, prototyping, and detailed UI execution. No specific years of experience are stated.
Comfort working directly with engineers and taking ownership in an early-stage or entrepreneurial environment.
Strong product judgment, visual craft, and a bias toward shipping and improving real experiences.
Experience with AI products, two-sided marketplaces, or frontend implementation is helpful but not required.
Location
Remote within the United States or Europe. The role is full-time.
