What you'll do

  • Help decide what we build and why, staying involved from the first conversation to launch
  • Work with the frontend lead to choose the right deliverable for each problem: a written proposal, a user flow, a prototype, or a full Figma spec
  • Find user pain points through customer calls, interviews, feedback, and usage data
  • Take problems from problem to proposal: frame the problem, explore options, and make the case for a direction
  • Decide when something should be a chat, a report, or an inline summary
  • Define how we show where an insight came from, and how we handle loading, uncertainty, and wrong answers
  • Help shape the voice and structure of AI-generated insights
  • Own the design system's principles and the Figma side, partnering with frontend engineers to make the Figma library and React component library a single source of truth
  • Define data visualization standards and patterns for AI features
  • Co-own product metrics, user feedback tracking, and quality evaluation for LLM features with the frontend lead
  • Define what a good AI answer looks like for users and turn that into rubrics we can measure

What we're looking for

  • 3+ years of product design experience, ideally owning features end to end in a B2B or SaaS product
  • Strong product opinions and comfort defending and revising ideas
  • A portfolio that shows how you framed problems, with at least one case study starting from a fuzzy problem with no spec
  • Experience designing data-heavy products such as dashboards, analytics, or reporting tools
  • Experience working within or contributing to a design system, understanding how components and patterns scale
  • Real curiosity about AI products, ideally with some hands-on exploration
  • Strong written communication in English
  • Fluent in Figma, with AI tools in your everyday workflow
  • Driven, cares about making a good product, growth mindset, values autonomy and self-direction
  • Based between US Central Time (UTC−6) and Central European Time (UTC+1)
  • Available for core collaboration hours of 9:00 AM–12:00 PM Eastern

Nice to have

  • Experience as the first or only designer on a team
  • Built or substantially evolved a design system that engineers adopted
  • Experience designing AI features, or writing evaluation rubrics for LLM output
  • Depth in data visualization
