Learn more at[foam.io](https://www.foam.io/).

About the role:

Foam builds software for the people who run the business side of the creator economy - managers, agencies and the brands they work with. The product is live, growing, and being reshaped quickly.

We're hiring a Product Designer to own a set of existing product surfaces end to end: understand how they're used, sharpen them, and ship improvements at a steady cadence, working directly with product and engineering.

You'll join a small design team and work in a culture where product partners bring a clear point of view, design materialises it, and we test it with real users fast.

Here’s what you’ll do day-to-day:

- Own the experience of established product lines: diagnose, redesign, iterate, and ship.
- Take a brief that's more conversation than document and return with something better than was asked for.
- Design across the full range of real-world states - sparse data, dense data, mobile, desktop, embedded and standalone - so every variation feels intentional.
- Build interactive prototypes that engineers can feel, not just read.
- Work inside a shared, evolving design system, reusing existing patterns by default and proposing new ones only where they earn their place.
- Run lightweight user sessions on your own prototypes and fold what you learn back in.

Here’s what we’re looking for:

- A portfolio that shows range: more than one industry or product type, and evidence you've oriented quickly in unfamiliar territory.
- Startup-native. You've lived through priorities changing mid-flight and kept a good attitude about it.
- Low ego, high resilience. A rejected design is normal Tuesday work, not a verdict.
- Comfortable with ambiguity. You form a point of view from incomplete information, commit, and let users tell you whether you were right.
- Strong craft - components, variants, responsive layouts, prototyping - with a real eye for visual detail.
- Clear, direct communicator who works well asynchronously across US and European time zones.

Our values:

At Whalar, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) isn't just a statement, it's our collective strength. Our people are our superpower. A diverse team and inclusive leadership have shaped Whalar since our inception in 2016, fueling a constant evolution of growth. We champion a culture of respect and empathy, fostering a sense of belonging that transcends demographics. We hire individuals of all backgrounds and empower them to thrive, challenge stereotypes, and actively break societal barriers.

The perks:

Foam provides flexible benefits and collaborative work environments/experiences, so employees can work productively in a setting that best and uniquely suits their needs.

- Medical, Dental, Vision
- 25 days of PTO + Sick days + Winter break
- Retirement planning with employer match
- Monthly phone/internet reimbursement
