About the Role
As the founding product designer at an early-stage AI data company, you will own the end-to-end experience for a contributor platform supporting audio data annotation and AI model development. You will work closely with the founding team and engineers to make complex tasks clear and intuitive for a broad consumer audience.
What You'll Do
-
Identify usability problems, design solutions, and ship product improvements directly to production.
-
Create flows and interfaces that help contributors understand task requirements and complete work successfully.
-
Translate new project requirements into clear experiences in partnership with the founding team and engineers.
-
Build and evolve the product's design system, reusable components, and visual language.
-
Use AI coding tools and the existing frontend infrastructure to implement and ship your UI changes.
-
Prototype rapidly, observe user behavior, and iterate, including testing meaningfully different design approaches.
-
Improve product craft and consistency across loading and empty states, responsive layouts, copy, and edge cases.
What We're Looking For
-
One to two years of product or UX design experience, including internships, or equivalent strong experience.
-
Consumer product design experience and the ability to create intuitive experiences beyond dashboard-focused work.
-
Experience shipping frontend or UI changes to production, not just handing off designs.
-
Familiarity with React, TypeScript, HTML, and CSS, plus AI coding tools such as Cursor, Claude Code, or Codex.
-
Strong design taste, high iteration speed, and comfort with experimentation and A/B testing.
-
Startup experience is valuable, particularly at an early-stage or AI-focused company.
