What You'll Do

Design end-to-end experiences across candidate journeys, company dashboards, and AI interactions.

Turn ambiguous product challenges into clear, intuitive user flows and interaction models.

Build and evolve the product design system from an early stage.

Contribute to product direction and collaborate closely with engineering in a distributed, async environment.

What We're Looking For

At least 5 years of digital product design experience, including work as a primary or sole designer at a startup.

A portfolio showcasing shipped web app product work, strong craft, clarity, and thoughtful problem-solving.

Deep Figma fluency, including product design and design system work.

Experience designing end-to-end flows for products serving multiple audiences, and building design systems from scratch or at an early stage.

Ability to work autonomously with minimal direction and communicate effectively with distributed teams.

Experience with marketplaces or platforms is valuable, as is work on AI-powered products, conversational interfaces, recruiting, HR technology, or talent marketplaces.

Compensation & Benefits

Base compensation is $100,000 to $120,000 annually. Visa sponsorship is not available.
