Product Designer - New Vertical

Join to apply for the Product Designer role at Basis . About Basis Basis equips accountants with a team of AI agents to take on real workflows. We have hit product‑market fit, have more demand than we can meet, and have just raised $34 million to scale at a speed that meets this moment. Built in New York City. About the Role Modern AI lets software reason in real time. That overturns decades of UX assumptions. A chatbot bolted onto old workflows won’t cut it; we need interfaces where humans and agents co‑create work, hand tasks back and forth, and build trust in real time. You will lead Basis into that design unknown: design both the screens accountants see and the invisible UI “toolbox” agents draw from when they assemble those screens. Imagine Basis 18 months out, then ship toward it one release at a time. Location : NYC, Flatiron office. In‑person team. What You’ll Do Build: Design and redesign user‑agent interactions across multiple surfaces, from first sketch to polished release. Invent agent‑ready UI primitives that agents can assemble, edit, and explain in real time. Partner closely with product design on working agents seamlessly into new and existing products. Be a visionary: Pair with founders to sketch Basis 2027, then distill it into quarterly bets. Understand our many accounting users: Build really good systems by spending a portion of your time doing accounting work in Basis and becoming a user. Learn at warp speed: Immerse in what makes accounting awesome, emergent abilities of LLMs, and UX for generally‑intelligent software, then turn that insight into product decisions. Learning velocity: New domains and new tech click for you in weeks, not months. What You’ll Bring 4–8 years designing complex SaaS or AI tooling, with at least one 0→1 launch (extraordinary talent with fewer years considered). First‑principles reasoner: break problems to fundamentals and rebuild without legacy bias. Agent‑native builder: already prototype with LLMs and can explain why they change UX. Use AI a lot: use AI for your own work (brainstorm, write, research, etc.). Research‑to‑Figma range: comfortable running user research sessions, planning new features with PMs & engineers, sketching flows live, exploring diverse design solutions, and iterating on released products. All‑in mindset: high‑intensity culture, high‑upside equity, and a wide‑open canvas. What We’d Love To See Accounting: practical knowledge of accounting principles. Product ownership: experience owning a product end‑to‑end. What Success Looks Like In‑person NYC: desire for five days a week collaborating directly with engineers, accountants, and founders. Autonomy & ownership: excited to make decisions without a committee and own a problem space end‑to‑end.
