Full Job Description
Role

We are looking for a Product Designer to help build a product where investment insights become second nature.

This is a high-agency architectural role for a tech-savvy generalist, not a static mockup factory. You will treat the production codebase as one of your canvas, shipping production grade HTML, CSS, and JavaScript next to engineers. We operate on the other side of the AI shift, where tools like Cursor, v0, and Claude unblock designers to act as exponential force multipliers. You will design next-generation paradigms for complex human-AI collaboration, defining how analysts orchestrate multiple autonomous agents, and even rewriting prompt frameworks and system instructions to shape the AI personality.

By building our taste, opinions, and design decisions into the design system, we make it easier for everyone at Samaya to create high-quality work. That gives the design team more time to focus on product architecture, the long-term vision, and the decisions that have lasting impact instead of constantly responding to one-off feature requests or temporary fixes. We make deliberate tradeoffs that let the team move quickly while spending our time on structural improvements that continue to pay off. Over time, this helps the Sundial design language stay consistent and high quality across every touchpoint, from the product UI to presentations, documents, the website, and other brand assets.
Responsibilities
  • Shape the user experience, owning what analysts need and how information hierarchy, interaction design, and typography make dense financial data intuitive, fast, and trustworthy
  • Architect multi-agent interactions, designing workflows for human collaboration with AI agents and defining how users monitor, direct, and work with multiple agents at once
  • Own Samaya AI's persona, shaping how the AI research collaborator thinks, communicates, and behaves so analysts experience it as intuitive, professional, and high integrity
  • Ship production code, owning the UI and user experience end to end alongside engineers and product managers, with full accountability for what reaches analysts
  • Drive product direction, proposing new concepts, questioning foundational assumptions, and making short-term design decisions that compound toward a clear product vision
  • Own the customer loop, running weekly customer calls to hear friction firsthand and translating what you hear into shipped product changes
  • Scale the Sundial design language, maintaining cohesion across the product, developing agent-ready skills and a design.md architecture that engineers and AI agents build from, not just a component library
Experience

Required
  • 4+ years of professional product design experience with a strong portfolio of shipped digital products
  • Hands-on experience writing production code directly in a codebase, with AI tools already central to your daily workflow
  • Deep craft across typography, grid systems, color theory, and visual hierarchy, applied consistently across every surface and screen size a product touches
  • A proven track record of taking vague, highly underspecified problems and independently carving them into concrete, shippable product features
  • Direct experience building, maintaining, or scaling a design system and documenting component libraries and skills for team-wide use
  • Experience running user interviews, synthesizing qualitative feedback, and translating customer pain points into shipped product changes that delivered measurable customer and business value

Preferred
  • Familiarity with prompt engineering, multi-agent canvases, or interfaces that dynamically adapt to probabilistic AI behaviors
  • Background designing for analytical or professional user bases such as financial analysts, researchers, lawyers, or clinicians, where precision and trust matter more than simplicity alone
  • A track record building complex dashboards, analytical software, developer tools, or enterprise data platforms
  • Experience documenting design patterns, rules, and components specifically optimized for AI agents to interpret and generate interfaces
  • A track record extending design thinking across every touchpoint a brand and product meets its audience, with the same rigor and craft applied throughout
Compensation

The cash compensation range for this role is $160,000 - $220,000.

Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors, including experience and expertise, and may vary from the amounts listed above.

Equity components may also be considered as part of the overall compensation package.
Benefits

Health: Access comprehensive health insurance, including medical, dental, vision, flexible spending account (FSA), and short-term disability.

Wealth: Support for your long-term financial wellbeing with a 401(k) and pre-tax benefits (e.g. commuting).

Rest: Enjoy flexibility to rest and recharge as needed, with unlimited PTO (Paid Time Off).

Flexibility: Work flexibly with a hybrid setup - typically team members spend a minimum of three days in the office per week.

Travel: Grow and connect with a travel budget that encourages conference attendance, customer visits, and team gatherings.

Equipment: Create your ideal workspace with an office equipment allowance to set up what works best for you.

Interview Accommodations: We are committed to ensuring an equitable selection process for everyone and welcome applicants from varied backgrounds to enrich our team. If you require accommodations or adjustments during our recruitment process, please inform us.
