Product Designer (Contract to Hire)

We build mobile apps for small business owners and are looking for a product designer to help build, simplify and improve the UI/UX across our suite. You’ll turn real user behavior into clear, simple product ideas, favoring simplicity, clarity, and speed over polish.

We’re an AI-first team looking for a designer excited about how AI is changing the way products get built. You should already be experimenting with and regularly using tools like Claude Code, Figma AI, and other AI design/prototyping tools. You’ll have real ownership, working directly with founders, engineers, and customers to take ideas from insight to shipped product. As part of the interview, we’ll ask you to show us how you use AI in your design process. We care less about specific tools and more about how you experiment and think about what’s newly possible.

What You’ll Do

• Design product from insight to shipped feature, in close collaboration with engineers and founders.
• Spend time understanding real user behavior (session recordings, usage data, support tickets, customer conversations).
• Identify friction, confusion, and unnecessary steps—and simplify them.
• Design clear, minimal flows that are easy to navigate and easy to understand.
• Turn complex problems into simple design solutions.
• Iterate quickly based on real usage and feedback.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong product instincts and clear design taste.
• Genuinely excited about AI and already incorporating it into how you design and prototype.
• Comfort working autonomously in a fast-moving, low-process team.
• Practical, low-ego, and open to being wrong.
• Curious about users and how products are actually used.

Don’t Apply If You…

• Need heavy process, specs, or perfect requirements to get started.
• Optimize for visual flourish and perfection over clarity, usability, and shipping fast.
• Get attached to your designs or take feedback personally.
• Prefer narrow ownership over taking a problem from start to finish.
