Founding Product & Brand Designer

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
