Product Designer

About The Role

We're looking for a product designer who wants to operate like a founder.

Not someone who waits for tickets or perfect requirements. Someone who sees opportunities, prototypes fast, shapes product direction, and ships experiences that move the company forward.

This is not a "make the UI pretty" role. You'll work across product thinking, interaction design, systems, prototyping, and execution. In many cases, you'll go from idea → prototype → shipped product in days, not quarters.

The best people for this role think strategically, build relentlessly, and use AI as leverage.

Why This Role Is Different

The role of design is changing.

AI has collapsed the distance between idea and execution. The best designers today don't just create mockups, they can explore product directions, prototype interactions, generate working interfaces, and pressure-test ideas themselves.

We Believe The Future Belongs To Designers Who

Think like product leaders
Prototype like engineers
Use AI tools fluently
Care about outcomes, not deliverables
Move from ambiguity to shipped product with very little overhead

If that excites you, you'll probably love working here.

What You'll Work On

Own product areas end-to-end, from initial insight to shipped experience
Lead greenfield explorations and turn blank-canvas ideas into real products
Prototype aggressively, in code, AI tools, Figma, or whatever gets the idea across fastest
Work directly with engineers and PMs to shape product direction, not just execution
Think deeply about systems, workflows, and how features compound across the platform
Use AI tools as part of your daily workflow to increase speed, creativity, and iteration velocity
Raise the quality bar across the company through strong product judgment and craft
Push ideas into reality quickly instead of over-optimizing in planning phases

How We Work

We optimize for speed of learning and iteration
We prototype early instead of debating endlessly
We use AI heavily across design, product thinking, research, and engineering
We believe small, high-agency teams can outperform much larger organizations
We believe the best builders in the AI era are token maxxers, people who use AI relentlessly to compress execution cycles, test ideas faster, and expand the scope of what a single person can accomplish
We care more about shipping and learning than rigid role boundaries

What We're Looking For

3–6 years of product design experience, ideally at startups or highly product-driven teams
A strong track record of owning products or features from concept through launch
High agency. You naturally move things forward without waiting for direction
Strong product instincts and clear opinions about what should exist and why
Excellent visual and interaction design skills, grounded in systems thinking
Comfort operating in ambiguity and figuring things out in real time
Bias toward building and prototyping over endless ideation
Strong communication with engineers, PMs, and leadership
Excitement about AI-native workflows and the future of product creation

Bonus Points

You can prototype in code
You've used tools like Cursor, v0, Lovable, Replit, Claude, or similar in your workflow
You've worked on AI-native products or developer-facing tools
You've been an early designer at a startup
You care deeply about product velocity and iteration speed

What Success Looks Like

You help us:

Move faster without sacrificing quality
Turn ambiguous ideas into shipped products
Create experiences that feel thoughtful, fast, and inevitable
Build a culture where design is deeply tied to product thinking and execution

This is a role for someone who wants an unusual amount of ownership, autonomy, and leverage.

Compensation

The compensation for this role is $150,000-$175,000 in San Francisco.

Final offer will be based on a variety of factors, including role level, relevant experience, skills, and job-related expertise.
