Product Designer

We are an early stage AI startup at the intersection of sports and edtech. Our products include a B2B dashboard for youth sports organizations and a consumer-facing mobile application. We’re looking for a Product Designer to take full ownership of our product experience from day one. BTW - we have mostly transitioned out of stealth mode. The name of our company is Sportlingo - I have it listed as "Steal Sports AI" to filter out all of the candidates who apply without reading the description :)

This role gives you the opportunity to help design the core of a fast-growing AI product—and help shape the future of youth sports learning.

What You’ll Do

• Help lead end-to-end product design across web and mobile (research → wireframes → UX flows → UI → polish).
• Translate complex AI features into simple, intuitive user experiences for coaches, parents, and players.
• Work closely with founders, engineering, and product to define requirements and create clean, high-quality product flows.
• Conduct user research, gather insights, and turn findings into actionable design decisions.
• Create reusable design systems, component libraries, and visual standards that scale across platforms.
• Run usability tests, iterate quickly, and ship prototypes that reflect high standards and attention to detail.
• Collaborate with engineering to ensure designs are implemented accurately and efficiently.
• Help lead the overall visual identity and help define the long-term product vision.

What We’re Looking For

• 3+ years of experience in product design (startup experience a strong plus).
• Strong portfolio demonstrating excellence in UX, UI, and interaction design across both web and mobile apps.
• Ability to take a concept from idea → wireframe → prototype → final shipped product.
• Experience designing dashboards, consumer mobile apps, or tools involving AI.
• Proficiency with Figma and modern design workflows.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work cross-functionally with product, engineering, and leadership.
• High-ownership mindset — you move fast, simplify complexity, and obsess over user experience.
• Comfortable working in early-stage environments where ambiguity is high and speed matters.

Bonus Points

• Experience in sports tech, edtech, or other consumer engagement platforms.
• Background in human-centered design or user research.
• Familiarity with LLMs, generative AI, or multimodal AI applications.

Why Join Us

• Design the AI product vision of a stealth-mode startup from the ground up.
• Shape category-defining products at the intersection of AI, sports, and education.
• Collaborate directly with founders, technical leaders, and early team members in a mission-driven environment.
• Competitive equity and leadership role with significant influence on company direction.

This role is equity + commission based until we gain more traction through revenue and/or investor funding. It’s ideal if you are entrepreneurial, resourceful, and excited to design experiences that lead to long term strategic partnerships.
