About the role
- Own product design end-to-end. You'll lead projects from problem definition through shipped product—wireframes, prototypes, high-fidelity designs, and iteration based on what you learn.
- Prototype and explore rapidly. We value learning through making. You'll explore ideas quickly, share work early, and use hi-fi designs and prototypes to drive alignment and decision-making.
- Collaborate across functions. Design doesn't happen in isolation here and you'll partner daily with engineers and PMs to shape what we build and how we build it.
- Develop deep domain intuition. Great research tools require understanding researcher workflows. You'll build expertise in how researchers and scientists actually work and use that knowledge to inform product direction.
- Elevate team craft. Participate in critiques, contribute to and up-level design systems, and help establish practices that raise quality across everything we ship.
Requirements
- 4+ years designing complex, information-rich software—ideally products where users are doing real work, not just browsing
- Demonstrated ability to ship from zero to one; you've taken ambiguous problems and delivered polished, functional products
- Strong visual design skills paired with systems thinking—you sweat the details but also see how pieces connect
- Comfort with ambiguity and speed; you design and prototype to learn and advance decisions
- Experience with Figma and designing with LLMs on a canvas or in code
- Clear communication and structured thinking—you can explain your rationale, receive feedback openly, and help teams converge on decisions
- Based in North American time zones. We're primarily Bay Area and do quarterly team retreats in person.
Benefits
- Flexible work environment: work from our office in Oakland or remotely with time zone overlap (between GMT and GMT-8), as long as you can travel for in-person offsites
- Fully covered health, dental, vision, and life insurance for you, generous coverage for the rest of your family
- Flexible vacation policy, with a minimum recommendation of 20 days/year + company holidays
- 401K with a 6% employer match
- A new Mac + $1,000 budget to set up your workstation or home office in your first year, then $500 every year thereafter
- $1,000 quarterly AI Experimentation & Learning budget, so you can freely experiment with new AI tools to incorporate into your workflow, take courses, purchase educational resources, or attend AI-focused conferences and events
- A team administrative assistant who can help you with personal and work tasks
