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.
