Job Level

Lead

About the role

  • Design features that evolve Nadia from 1:1 coaching into a multiplayer collaboration platform, including context-sharing, team dynamics, and manager tooling
  • Establish and evolve our design system to maintain craft and consistency as we scale
  • Work embedded with product and engineering to ship high-quality experiences weekly, not quarterly
  • Balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution - designing flows, refining interactions, and writing product copy yourself
  • Collaborate intensively through working sessions, critiques, and paired design work
  • Bring curiosity and experimentation to integrating AI into the user experience, exploring innovative UI and adaptive workflows.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of product design experience with a strong portfolio demonstrating consumer-grade craft
  • Proven experience building and maintaining design systems that enable team velocity
  • A track record of shipping quickly on small, scrappy design teams (not large orgs with specialized roles)
  • Experience at a high-growth startup, helping scale from early stage to meaningful traction
  • Shipped products used by millions of users, with measurable impact on engagement or retention
  • Bonus if you have experience designing conversational interfaces, chat products, or LLM-powered experiences
Benefits
  • Competitive salary including base + bonuses
  • Comprehensive health coverage (medical, dental, vision) from day one
  • Generous PTO, company-wide R&R shutdowns, and paid parental leave
  • Retirement plan support for US and global employees
  • Meaningful ownership in a venture-backed company at a growth inflection point
  • Top-up grants as we scale and you deliver exceptional performance — your compensation grows alongside your impact
  • A culture built for top talent: intensity to win, growth without limits, and a team that solves hard problems and celebrates big wins together
