Job Description Job Description About the Role
As the founding product designer at an early-stage AI data company, you will own the end-to-end experience for a platform that helps contributors complete complex data tasks. You will work closely with the founding team and engineers, shaping the product experience while shipping interface improvements directly to production.
What You'll Do
- Identify usability issues and design, build, and ship solutions across the contributor platform.
- Create clear user flows and interfaces that help non-technical contributors understand task requirements.
- Translate new project requirements into intuitive product experiences in collaboration with the team.
- Build and evolve the product's design system, reusable components, and visual language.
- Use AI coding tools to implement frontend changes with the existing product infrastructure.
- Prototype quickly, observe user behavior, and iterate on designs and experiments.
- Improve product craft and usability across loading and empty states, responsiveness, copy, and edge cases.
What We're Looking For
- One to two years of product or UX design experience, including internships, and experience designing consumer-facing products.
- Strong design taste, high iteration speed, and comfort exploring multiple concepts and testing alternatives.
- Experience in a startup environment, ideally at an early-stage AI or technology company.
- Ability to take designs beyond handoff and ship frontend or UI changes to production.
- Familiarity with React, TypeScript, HTML, and CSS, along with Figma.
- Experience using AI coding tools such as Cursor, Claude Code, or Codex to make frontend changes.
- Authorization to work without visa sponsorship.
