About the Role
As the first designer, you will shape the product experience for an early-stage AI talent marketplace. Working fractionally for 10 to 20 hours per week with product and engineering, you will set the design direction and standards that guide what the team builds.
What You'll Do
Define and evolve the product's visual and interaction design across its most important experiences.
Establish design systems, standards, and documentation that help the team build consistently.
Create high-fidelity mockups and prototypes, then partner with product and engineering to implement them.
Make product and design decisions with limited information, iterating based on user feedback.
Use user research, usability testing, and qualitative feedback to improve the product experience.
What We're Looking For
At least 3 years of experience designing and shipping consumer or B2B products end to end.
Proficiency with Figma, Sketch, or Adobe XD for mockups and prototypes.
Experience establishing design systems and documentation, and working directly with product and engineering teams to address technical constraints.
A portfolio showing shipped work and a clear approach to solving product problems.
Experience in early-stage startups or fractional design roles is helpful, as is familiarity with design-to-code handoff and HTML/CSS.
Location
Fully remote, with the primary location in the DACH region.
