4 Senior Product Designer

About Katapult Labs

Katapult is an AI-first engineering studio connecting senior LATAM talent with startups and companies in the US. We're not a staff-augmentation shop: every person we put in front of a client represents Katapult, co-creates product, and owns the outcome directly, with no managers or leads acting as a layer in between.

The Role

We're looking for a Designer to join the founding team behind one of our partners, an early-stage consumer product aiming to become a real tech company with a strong visual and cultural identity. This is a part-time engagement for someone with sharp aesthetic instincts and genuine creative range, someone who has moved beyond just executing and can bring a point of view to the product's look, feel, and voice.

You'll work closely with the product lead and full-stack builder to shape an experience that feels polished, engaging, and culturally relevant, especially around social and video content. This role suits someone who has grown into a creative director type of profile: strategic, well organized, highly professional, and deeply tuned into what makes content and products go viral.

Key Responsibilities

• Design the core visual identity and user experience for an early-stage consumer product

• Partner closely with the product lead to translate product decisions into polished design

• Bring strong instincts around virality, social content, and video-first design trends

• Maintain a professional, organized, and highly responsive way of working within a fast-moving founding team

Requirements

• Advanced conversational English, since all collaboration happens in English

• Strong design portfolio showing high-quality, aesthetically polished consumer product work

• Proven experience in UI/UX design, with a strong understanding of user flows, interface design, usability, and interaction patterns

• Experience or clear instinct for virality, social platforms, and video content design

• Creative director-level maturity: able to bring a point of view, not just execute instructions

• Comfortable working with AI design platforms and tools (e.g. Claude Design) to accelerate and elevate the design process

• Highly professional, organized, and reliable, with strong follow-through

Nice to Have

• Background in AI-assisted video or content design

• Experience designing for consumer social or entertainment products

• Prior work as a creative director or in a similar leadership design role

Work-Life Balance

• Work from Anywhere in Latin America: Enjoy the freedom to work remotely from any country in Latin America.

• 23 Days of PTO per Year: Take time to recharge with paid time off, accrued monthly (1.91 days/month).

• USA Federal Holidays

Financial Benefits

• Monthly Payment in USD: Get paid in US dollars, no matter where you are.

• Contractor Agreement with No End Date: Enjoy the stability of a long-term contract.
