5-7 years of experience in 0-to-1 product design, creating novel solutions with no existing references.
Strong skills in both visual and systems design—capable of marrying aesthetic and functional aspects.
Experience designing for enterprise-level products with complex data and decision-making workflows.
Ability to articulate design rationale clearly and maintain high standards while working efficiently.
Responsibilities
Design innovative product surfaces from the ground up, defining unique interaction models.
Translate complex simulation outputs and data into clear, actionable interfaces for enterprise users.
Oversee the information architecture and feature interactions, ensuring design cohesion and detail integrity.
Implement small-to-medium front-end code changes to preserve design vision during production.
Contribute to the evolution of the design system as the product suite expands, maintaining quality across new surfaces.
Benefits
Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage.
Flexible time off policies to support work-life balance.
Competitive equity grants subject to approval.
Full Job Description
About the Role
You'll join our Product & Design team and own significant product surfaces end to end. The job is to make probabilistic concepts like populations, uncertainty, and confidence structurally sound and visually obvious, for a Fortune 100 executive with a nine-figure decision to make. Our users are sophisticated and their stakes are high. Clarity is not a nice-to-have; it is the product.
In this role, you will:
Design new surfaces from scratch: Take on 0-to-1 problems where there is no existing product category to reference. Define the interaction model rather than inherit one.
Make complexity legible: Turn simulation outputs, confidence scores, and population-level behavior into interfaces that enterprise decision-makers can read, trust, and act on.
Move between systems and craft: Own information architecture, interaction models, edge cases, and how features compose with each other. Own the typography, motion, and detail that make a product feel considered. Both, not one.
Ship code: Make small-to-medium front-end changes yourself with AI tooling and engineering support, so your design intent survives contact with production.
Evolve the design system: Help take us from single-product to multi-product, so quality holds as we scale rather than degrading with every new surface.
Requirements Must Haves
0-to-1 design experience: You have designed products or features without an obvious reference point: novel interaction paradigms, new categories, or problems where the right pattern had to be invented.
Both visual and systems design: You are strong at high-craft visual design and at the underlying structure. We are not looking for someone who does one and delegates the other.
Enterprise product experience: You have designed for enterprise customers and understand designing for expert users, high-stakes workflows, and complex data.
Clarity of thought: You can explain why a design is right, take a position, and hold a high bar while moving quickly.
Nice to Haves
Founding or early-startup experience.
Experience designing for AI-native or agentic products.
Experience designing data-dense interfaces such as analytics, research tools, or anything where the job is making complex information legible.
An interest in the underlying science: behavioral research, social science, or how models of people actually work.
