Job description
Position Summary We’re hiring our first Product Designer to define the experience layer of new ways investors work with AI. This is less about pixel-perfect UI and more about inventing net-new UX - navigating complex tasks, ambiguous problem spaces, and interaction patterns that don’t yet exist.
What we’re looking for
- Systems-level UX: You design flows for complexity - multi-step tasks, agent feedback loops, and rich data.
- Technical curiosity: You can prototype with real data (and ideally a bit of code) to learn fast.
- Taste + rigor: Strong information architecture, interaction design, and usability instincts.
- Velocity: You move from sketch → prototype → shipped, bringing teams along with crisp rationale.
- Opinionated: Deep level of understanding of current design landscape and patterns, making both overarching design patterns and granular micro-interaction design decisions based on understanding rather than preference - diving deep on unknown trends in order to build the best product.
Responsibilities
- Own the end-to-end UX for core products; define patterns that scale.
- Prototype high-fidelity interactions; validate with users; iterate quickly.
- Partner with engineering to shape feasible APIs/constraints that improve the UX.
- Establish the design system and foundations for accessibility and consistency.
- Own the overall storybook of our customer facing surfaces.
Nice to have
- Experience designing AI-forward products (agents, retrieval, model feedback, transparency/controls).
- Experience designing data rich products (large tabular data, charts and graphing, reporting)
- Engineering and code experience Logistics:
- Compensation: $165K - $250K salary, $100K-200K equivalent in new hire equity (4 year vest)
- Location: New York City. We are a fully in-office team working out of Midtown Manhattan Monday through Friday. We allow for WFH days when anyone is traveling, but we do not allow for permanent remote work.
- Benefits:- Generous health, dental, and vision insurance
- 401k with 3% automatic contribution (no vesting)
- Paid Lunches
- Wellness and Citi Bike benefit
