Full Job Description
Introduction

Foundation is hiring a lead designer to accelerate our core business, modernize homebuilding, and transform the experience of buying, selling, and owning homes.

Foundation's First Design Lead

We're hiring our first hands-on design leader to work directly with our founders, customers, and engineers. We're looking for a full-stack, impact-obsessed, AI-accelerated designer who wants to transform a major pillar of the U.S. economy and help redefine design for the AI era.

The Job

You'll play a central role in driving Foundation's next stages of growth - working at the intersection of design, AI, and real estate transformation.

Here's a taste of potential priorities:

  • Elevate and accelerate our core products: both consumer (homebuyer + homeowner) and homebuilder experiences
  • Deliver our first AI-native workflow products to transform back-office productivity in one of the biggest industries in the U.S.
  • Collaborate with marketing and sales to communicate our brand and value to every U.S. builder in the U.S.
  • Research, discover, design and launch ournext major product lines: a new AI-native home shopping and sales experience, and a collaboration platform to streamline and enrich the home buying process for buyers, builders, lenders (mortgage), and title companies.


Throughout, you'll play a hands-on role in shaping our products, roadmap, marketing, and vision.

The Requirements
  • You have 7-10+ years of experience as a designer at high-growth, venture-backed technology companies.
  • You are a full-stack designer - from research through exploration, product launches, and continuous improvement. Bonus points if you obsess about everything from product strategy and feature-level pixels to the fine details of marketing campaigns.
  • You're highly collaborative, and do your best work by engaging deeply with cross-functional groups of customers, engineers, PMs, and operators
  • You love getting to know new customers and new markets.
