About the Role
Join an early-stage B2B software team as its first dedicated product designer, reporting to a company co-founder. You will shape the design language and user experience of a technical hiring platform serving recruiters, engineers, and candidates.
What You'll Do
Learn how each user group works and identify where interface friction affects the experience.
Build and maintain a consistent design system across the platform.
Use product analytics, including session recordings, to identify opportunities and guide design improvements.
Work closely with engineering, product, and go-to-market teams across assessment flows and hiring dashboards.
Redesign the company website, owning its information architecture, visual design, and front-end implementation.
What We're Looking For
Two to four years of product design experience, with front-end engineering skills in TypeScript and strong Figma proficiency.
Experience at an early-stage startup, ideally as an early or founding technical designer.
A portfolio demonstrating polished, shipped product work and the ability to combine UX and visual design with production code.
Experience creating and maintaining a cohesive design system across a product.
Familiarity with product analytics tools such as PostHog and cross-functional work with engineering, product, and go-to-market teams.
Experience designing non-consumer software, ideally for hardware or technical domains such as CAD, simulation, or developer tools.
Comfort working at startup pace, using short research cycles and shipping practical improvements quickly.
Compensation & Benefits
Base salary: $140,000 to $185,000 annually. Visa sponsorship is available.
Location
Hybrid, based in San Francisco, California. The role works in the office three to four days per week.
