Description

ABOUT THE ROLE

This is a founding product design role at an early-stage AI voice platform in the B2B SaaS space. As the first full-time designer, you will own the end-to-end design process, work directly with customers, and partner closely with engineers to ship high-quality features that define the product experience.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Collaborate directly with customers to understand their needs and design solutions that address real problems.
  • Own the design process end-to-end for new product features, from concept through delivery.
  • Identify new AI product opportunities, develop design concepts, and build prototypes alongside customers.
  • Create intuitive interfaces for AI-first workflows where traditional UI patterns do not apply.
  • Work side-by-side with engineers to ship high-quality features quickly and pragmatically.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

  • 3 or more years of experience on product design teams, ideally at an early-stage B2B SaaS startup.
  • Proficiency with modern prototyping and design tools such as Figma, Lovable, V0, and Figma Make (required).
  • Hands-on experience collaborating with software engineers and a solid understanding of technical trade-offs.
  • Meaningful exposure to AI and LLM-driven products, with a genuine interest in building software in an AI-native way.
  • Experience conducting customer interviews or iterating on a product based on direct customer feedback.
  • A track record of designing products with measurable business impact.
  • Pragmatic mindset: comfortable accepting imperfect implementations in service of shipping and iterating quickly.
  • Strong cross-functional collaboration skills across engineering and product teams.
  • A portfolio demonstrating aesthetic taste, UX instincts, and fast-prototyping ability.

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

Salary range: $85,000 to $160,000 USD annually. Visa sponsorship is available.
