AI Summary

You will own the entire design surface, including product UI, candidate-facing experiences, and AI interaction layers. Additionally, you will build and evolve the design system while conducting user research to influence product strategy.

About the Role

This is a fractional, fully remote Product Designer role at an early-stage AI-powered talent marketplace startup. You will serve as the design voice working directly alongside the founding team and engineering, shaping everything from candidate-facing AI conversations to hiring manager dashboards. The work matters because great design here directly affects how people find their next career opportunity.

What You'll Do

  • Own the entire design surface, including product UI, candidate-facing experiences, company dashboards, and the AI interaction layer.

  • Turn ambiguous product problems into clean, intuitive flows and ship real product quickly with minimal layers.

  • Build and evolve the design system from the ground up as the product scales.

  • Run lightweight user research by conducting candidate and company interviews, observing sessions, and identifying points of friction.

  • Contribute to product direction alongside the founding team, going beyond execution to influence strategy.

What We're Looking For

  • 5+ years designing digital products, with meaningful time at a startup as the primary or sole designer.

  • Deep fluency in Figma for product design and design system work.

  • A portfolio that demonstrates taste, clarity, and thoughtfulness through shipped, current product design work.

  • Experience designing end-to-end user flows and interaction models for multi-stakeholder products.

  • Experience building and evolving design systems from scratch or at an early stage.

  • Proven ability to conduct lightweight user research including interviews and session observation.

  • Comfortable working autonomously with minimal direction and communicating async across a distributed team.

  • Experience designing for marketplaces, platforms, or multi-sided networks is a strong plus.

  • Experience designing AI-powered products or conversational interfaces is a strong plus.

  • Background in recruiting, HR tech, or talent marketplace products is a bonus.

Compensation & Benefits

Compensation is $100,000 to $120,000 USD annually on a fractional freelance or contractor basis. Visa sponsorship is not available.

Location

Fully remote, open to candidates worldwide.
