Job Description

** Product Designer, AI Design Systems **
Truckee, CA 96160 – Hybrid

ABOUT THE COMPANY:

• We are a hyperlocal lead generation platform that helps property-centric small businesses Client, understand, and connect with new opportunities. By transforming complex public records data into actionable insights, we support real estate investors, agents, lenders, and home services professionals in making smarter decisions
• We are profitable, owner-operated, and small enough that every contribution has a meaningful impact. We are investing in a modern data and frontend platform to power the next decade of growth and are looking for talented individuals to help shape that future
• We're seeking a Product Designer who can help define the next generation of product experiences by building scalable, high-quality systems that work well for users and are structured clearly enough to support AI-assisted implementation

ABOUT THE ROLE:

• You'll help evolve our visual language, component systems, and design documentation so our interfaces are more consistent, scalable, and aligned with how modern engineering teams and AI-assisted workflows build software
• You should be equally comfortable auditing existing products, defining scalable UI patterns, improving design quality and consistency, and translating design intent into structured systems that engineers and AI tools can reliably use

WHAT YOU'LL DO:

• Own product design work for key initiatives with a high level of autonomy
• Audit existing product surfaces to identify inconsistencies, duplication, and opportunities for stronger systemization
• Define and evolve a cohesive visual language that improves quality and consistency across the product
• Build and maintain responsive, flexible, variant-based component libraries in Figma
• Translate research, UX intent, and product requirements into polished visual designs, flows, and interaction patterns
• Partner closely with product and engineering teams to ensure design quality carries through implementation
• Help structure design tokens, component definitions, naming conventions, and documentation so they are clear, reusable, and machine-readable where appropriate
• Create documentation that reduces ambiguity for both human teammates and AI-assisted development workflows
• Anticipate how design systems should evolve as AI design and coding tools become more capable
• Continuously improve how design decisions are captured, communicated, and handed off

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:

• At least 2+ years of experience in product design for web applications, SaaS products, design systems, or complex digital products
• A portfolio demonstrating strong systems thinking, product judgment, and high-quality visual execution
• Hands-on experience with AI-assisted design or prototyping tools
• Deep experience building and maintaining design systems
• Expert-level Figma skills, including variables, component properties, Auto Layout, and documentation best practices
• Strong understanding of how structured design systems support implementation across modern frontend environments
• Experience working closely with engineers and communicating design decisions clearly across technical and non-technical audiences
• Strong aesthetic judgment, attention to detail, and organizational skills
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• A proactive, ownership-minded work style with the ability to move projects forward independently

** Nice to Have: **

• Experience designing for data-rich products, workflow-heavy interfaces, or B2B SaaS platforms
• Familiarity with design tokens, structured handoff formats, or system documentation standards
• Experience designing for multi-surface applications such as web, embedded, mobile, or extension-based experiences

WHY THIS ROLE IS EXCITING:

• This role sits at the intersection of product design, systems thinking, and emerging AI-assisted product development. You'll help shape how design scales across multiple product environments, influence the quality and consistency of the customer experience, and build systems that make both designers and engineers more effective
• If you enjoy bringing order to complexity, designing thoughtful interfaces, and building systems that will become even more valuable over time, we'd love to hear from you

BENEFITS:

• Place-based but remote-friendly
• Position requires working U.S. business hours
• Compensation: $60,000 – $80,000
• Flexible time off and holidays
• Competitive medical, dental, vision, and 401(k) benefits
• Collaborative, results-oriented culture
• Opportunity to make a meaningful impact for small businesses through data and technology
