Early-stage startup building enterprise AI platforms for workforce intelligence and decision-making is hiring a Product Designer to shape how leaders understand and act on complex data.

This is a high-ownership role where you’ll define product experiences, design systems, and ship UI directly working closely with engineering and leadership in a fast-moving environment.


Job Responsibilities:

• Design and ship features across complex enterprise workflows (pipelines, dashboards, role-based navigation, calibration UIs)

• Own information architecture, feature flows, and data-heavy UI design end-to-end

• Contribute to and evolve the design system, brand voice, and visual standards

• Partner closely with engineering on larger builds and leadership on product direction

• Use AI coding tools to ship small UI updates directly to a React / shadcn frontend

• Operate in a fast cadence—sometimes shipping from concept to live in a day


Must Have Experience:

• 2+ years as a product designer with a portfolio of shipped (not concept-only) work

• At least one example of complex or data-heavy UI (dashboards, admin tools, multi-step flows, enterprise systems)

• Experience in B2B / enterprise SaaS or as a designer at an early-stage startup

• Demonstrated fluency with AI coding tools (e.g., ability to use Cursor or Claude Code to ship UI changes)

• Strong visual/UX judgment (typography, layout density, system thinking)

• Ability to iterate quickly on live product without over-polishing


Nice to have:

• Experience with shadcn, Radix, Tailwind

• Exposure to design systems (tokens, components, patterns)

• Experience with marketing, landing pages, or brand surfaces

• Public design work (portfolio site, writing, talks, OSS contributions)


Benefits:

• Direct ownership over user-facing product and design systems

• Opportunity to shape AI-era enterprise UX and data experiences

• Close collaboration with product and leadership on direction and brand

• Growth into broader design system and product ownership

• Base salary+ equity

• Medical, dental, vision

• Life, AD&D, disability coverage

• PTO (up to 152 hours/year) + 10 holidays + 1 volunteer day

• Paid parental leave (up to 6 weeks)

• Wellness + commuter benefits

• Strong long-term growth and internal mobility
