## Job description

## FOUNDING DESIGNER

Location: San Francisco Bay Area Type: Full-Time Compensation: Competitive salary + meaningful equity (founding tier)

Backed by 8VC, we're building a world-class team to tackle one of the industry’s most critical infrastructure problems.

## THE ROLE: FOUNDING DESIGNER

We’re looking for a sharp, systems-minded Product Designer to join our fast-growing product team. This is a high-impact opportunity to design tools that will reshape how the automotive world collaborates with its suppliers.

You’ll partner directly with our founding team, engineers, and industry experts to create a first-of-its-kind experience for the industrial enterprise — all powered by AI.

## WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Define & Shape: Take ambiguous problems and shape them into structured product experiences. You’ll help define what features should be and how they should feel.
- Design Workflows for AI Agents: Translate complex workflows into intuitive, action-driven user experiences — balancing automation with control, and AI intelligence with human oversight.
- Think in Systems: Design components and flows that scale across multiple modules, teams, and use cases — from dashboards to agent actions to supplier profiles.
- Collaborate Deeply: Work hand-in-hand with engineers, PMs, and AI researchers to build smart, usable, high-performance interfaces.
- Own the Craft: Lead end-to-end design execution — from wireframes and research to polished prototypes and developer handoff.
- Drive Feedback Loops: Conduct lightweight user research, gather customer feedback, and iterate quickly to improve usability and impact.

## WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

- 5+ years of experience designing B2B SaaS products, ideally in data-rich or workflow-heavy environments
- Proven ability to lead the design of complex features end-to-end, especially those involving multiple user personas or integrations
- Experience building (and contributing to) design systems for responsive web applications
- Strong product sense — you think beyond the pixels to what drives user value and business outcomes
- Familiarity with designing interfaces that involve automation, recommendations, or AI-driven elements
- A portfolio that showcases systems thinking, interaction design, and final visual polish
- Experience designing tools for industrial, logistics, or data-heavy products
- Experience with data visualization, decision support tools, or building products for operational users

## WHY JOIN FABRION

- You’ll help define a new category of intelligent industrial infrastructure
- You’ll work with top-tier talent from AI, enterprise software
- You’ll have autonomy, ownership, and visibility across the company
- You’ll design for real-world impact — not incremental UI, but end-to-end industry transformation

  - Industry knowledge graphs (internal data + external signals)
  - Agent mesh architectures (distributed, goal-conditioned agents)
  - Hybrid & multi-cloud infrastructure
  - Custom fine-tuned models (RAG, SLMs, RLHIL, pre-trained enterprise data)

## Market Standing

- Advance research in data fabrics, context memory, and custom fine-tuned models for industrial verticals
- Expand agentic capabilities from simulation to real-world production environments
