Product Designer

Collate Job Opportunity

Collate is an AI document generation platform for life sciences. We automate paperwork with AI, helping our customers get life-saving innovations to patients years faster. Collate is an end-to-end solution, powering every step of drug, diagnostic, and medical device development—from concept to market.

Collate is the first of its kind for what we're building — no incumbent doing this today, and no established workflow to copy. That's the job: design the interface patterns for an AI category that doesn't exist yet, then ship them.

You'll co-own, along with our Head of Design and Lead Designer, the product surface end to end that lets the world's most regulated companies trust us with their most sensitive documents. You'll sit at the intersection of engineering and product, working directly with Surbhi (CEO) to turn what customers need into interfaces the team can actually ship.

This is a rare seat: you're not maintaining a design system, you're contributing to the visual and interaction language for a new category. It's a role for someone who wants outsized ownership over how an early-stage company becomes the category leader without slowing down.

Help define the design language for how Collate's AI capabilities show up to organizations operating under real regulatory pressure

Turn ambiguous, technical, and compliance-heavy workflows into interfaces that feel simple and trustworthy

Create mockups, prototypes, and high-fidelity visuals to communicate ideas and describe execution

Partner daily with engineering and product to scope, prioritize, and ship — this is a hands-on, in-the-weeds role, not a hand-off role

Contribute to the craft bar for the product — interaction design, visual design, and the details that build trust with enterprise, regulated customers

5+ years of product design experience with a track record of shipping software end to end (not just concepting)

A builder's instinct — you'd rather be in Figma next to an engineer than presenting a polished deck

High agency and comfort with ambiguity; you can walk into a fast-moving, lightly-processed environment and bring structure without slowing anyone down

Genuine comfort working directly with founders and engineers on 0-to-1 problems — you're energized by ambiguity, not looking for it to be resolved before you start, and your communication style is clear and direct
