Requirements
- 5+ years designing digital products, with meaningful time at a startup as the primary or sole designer.
- Deep fluency in Figma for both product design and design system work.
- A strong portfolio demonstrating taste, clarity, and shipped work — not just aesthetics, but solved user problems.
- Experience designing end-to-end flows for multi-stakeholder products (e.g. candidates, companies, internal teams).
- Experience building design systems from scratch or at an early stage.
- Comfort conducting user research and translating findings into product improvements.
- Proven ability to work autonomously, async, and in distributed teams with minimal direction.
- Prior fractional or contract design experience with concurrent client management.
- Familiarity with accessibility standards (WCAG) and inclusive design is a plus.
- Experience with AI-powered products, conversational interfaces, or marketplace/multi-sided platform design is a strong plus.
- Background in HR tech, recruiting, or talent marketplace products is a plus.
Responsibilities
- Own the entire design surface: product UI, candidate-facing experiences, company dashboards, and the AI interaction layer.
- Turn ambiguous, early-stage problems into clean, intuitive flows while maintaining a high level of craft.
- Build and evolve the company's design system from the ground up.
- Run lightweight user research — candidate and company interviews, session observation, and friction identification.
- Produce developer-ready handoffs including specs, redlines, and asset exports, collaborating closely with engineering on implementation fidelity.
- Shape product direction alongside the founding team, contributing beyond pixels to strategy and priorities.
- Manage fractional engagement logistics: communicate weekly availability, track capacity, and handle billing expectations clearly.
