About the role
About the Role
Join an early-stage B2B SaaS company as its first dedicated designer, reporting to a co-founder. You will shape the user experience and design language for a platform that helps organizations evaluate and hire technical engineering talent.
What You'll Do
Learn the needs of recruiters, engineers, and candidates, and identify where interface friction affects the experience.
Establish a consistent design language and build a cohesive design system across the product.
Use product analytics, session recordings, and user signals to inform and improve design decisions.
Partner with engineering, product, and go-to-market teams to create connected experiences across assessment flows and hiring dashboards.
Own the website redesign from information architecture and visual design through front-end implementation.
Ship improvements through short research and design cycles in a fast-moving startup environment.
What We're Looking For
Two to four years of product design experience, paired with front-end engineering skills.
Strong experience with Figma and production TypeScript, demonstrated in a portfolio of shipped product work.
Experience building and maintaining a design system across a product.
Early-stage startup experience, ideally in a founding or early technical design role, and comfort working closely with engineers.
Familiarity with product analytics tools, including PostHog, and experience collaborating across engineering, product, and go-to-market teams.
Experience designing software for hardware or technical domains, such as CAD, simulation, or developer tools, is valuable.
Compensation & Benefits
Base salary: $140,000 to $185,000 annually. Visa sponsorship is available.
Location
Hybrid role based in San Francisco, California, with an in-office schedule of three to four days per week.
