Product Designer

About the RoleWe'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 DifferentThe 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 leadersPrototype like engineersUse AI tools fluentlyCare about outcomes, not deliverablesMove from ambiguity to shipped product with very little overheadIf that excites you, you'll probably love working here.What You'll Work OnOwn product areas end-to-end, from initial insight to shipped experienceLead greenfield explorations and turn blank-canvas ideas into real productsPrototype aggressively, in code, AI tools, Figma, or whatever gets the idea across fastestWork directly with engineers and PMs to shape product direction, not just executionThink deeply about systems, workflows, and how features compound across the platformUse AI tools as part of your daily workflow to increase speed, creativity, and iteration velocityRaise the quality bar across the company through strong product judgment and craftPush ideas into reality quickly instead of over-optimizing in planning phasesHow We WorkWe optimize for speed of learning and iterationWe prototype early instead of debating endlesslyWe use AI heavily across design, product thinking, research, and engineeringWe believe small, high-agency teams can outperform much larger organizationsWe 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 accomplishWe care more about shipping and learning than rigid role boundariesWhat We're Looking For3–6 years of product design experience, ideally at startups or highly product-driven teamsA strong track record of owning products or features from concept through launchHigh agency.
