About the role
About the Role
Join an early-stage B2B software team as its first dedicated designer, shaping the design language and user experience of a platform used by recruiters, engineers, and candidates. You will work closely with company leadership and have a direct impact on how technical talent is assessed and hired.
What You'll Do
- Understand the needs of recruiters, engineers, and candidates, and identify where interface friction affects the user experience.
- Establish and maintain a consistent design language and design system across the platform.
- Use product analytics, including session recordings, to identify opportunities and guide design improvements.
- Partner with engineering, product, and go-to-market teams to deliver a cohesive experience across assessment flows and hiring dashboards.
- Own the website redesign from information architecture and visual design through front-end implementation.
What We're Looking For
- Two to four years of product design experience, with meaningful experience at an early-stage startup.
- A combination of UX and visual design skills in Figma and production front-end experience with TypeScript.
- Experience creating and rolling out a design system across a product, supported by a strong portfolio of shipped work.
- Technical fluency and experience working closely with engineers, product teams, and go-to-market partners.
- Familiarity with product analytics tools such as PostHog and short research cycles that support timely shipping.
- Experience with software for hardware or technical fields, such as CAD, simulation, or developer tools, is valuable.
