About the team

We are hiring a Product Designer to be an important member of our product team. You will be expected to wear many hats and help make influential product decisions. You will collaborate and support the product, engineering, and marketing teams by designing the best visual and functional experiences that communicate a clear, consistent brand story.

Our product is designed with Whimsical, Figma, and other design tools. Our front-end is built using JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Vue, etc. We use Slack, Clubhouse, Notion, and G Suite to collaborate and build together.

What you will do

Help shape one of the most design-driven platforms by leading high-impact UI work, crafting original visuals, and embedding a culture of design excellence across the company.

Your responsibilities will include:

Work directly with the VP of Product to shape ideas, create prototypes, and build the product roadmap
Partner with marketing to create and implement new designs consistent with the product experience
Work with Customer Success to research and understand customer problems and pain points.
Design and collaborate with engineering to implement new Vue UI components and improve existing ones
Creating design guidelines for our products to ensure interface consistency across devices.
Designing beautiful, clear interfaces for the website and necessary marketing assets.
Illustrating intuitive iconography for our applications
Helping instill a design culture in the company as a whole — we want everyone to value and understand the role of design
Creating original graphic designs (e.g., images, sketches, and tables)

You should meet the following requirements

3+ years of experience in a similar role at a high-growth startup
Knowledge of startups and products in our space
Great taste for elegant and beautiful product experiences
Ability to work through design problems from beginning to end, efficiently
A knack for distilling complex problems into effective solutions
Strong communication skills to collaborate with various stakeholders
Hard-working and dedicated team player that needs little to no supervision, but enjoys working a team toward a common goal
Analytical mind with problem-solving aptitude
Self-motivated with an ability to work in the unknown
Ability to communicate technical topics to both technical and non-technical team members.
Demonstrated collaboration with product managers, engineers, and other designers to drive outcomes
Mediocrity is your enemy. You don’t stop until you get to "great." You’re relentless in pursuit of excellence.
You speak your mind, challenge assumptions, and present ideas clearly — no fear of conflict. Proficiency in English is essential for effective communication across teams and with international stakeholders.
