About HumanlyHumanly is revolutionizing talent acquisition with our AI-first recruiting platform, built to automate and orchestrate every step of the candidate journey-from first hello to final interview-across every channel.
We help mid-market and enterprise teams hire in days, not months, by engaging 100% of interested candidates and surfacing the best-fit talent faster. Our platform delivers speed, structure, and consistency at scale-so hiring teams can focus on decisions, not logistics.
We are a fast-growing Series A company and behind our tech is a team of bold, curious, and deeply human people. We move fast and build with purpose - for our customers, candidates, and each other. Our culture is built on collaboration, authenticity, and a shared belief that hiring can and should be better.
Our headquarters is in Bellevue, WA, but our team spans the globe.
The RoleOur founding designer has laid a strong foundation-design system, product patterns, and a human-centered culture. We're looking for a single, high-impact product designer to inherit that legacy, drive day-to-day design needs, and level up our user experience as we scale from Series A growth to our next milestones. This is a hybrid position (Tuesday - Thursday) based out of our Bellevue office, reporting directly to the VP of Product.
What You'll Do- Own the end-to-end product design cycle - from discovery and research through polished UI, prototypes, and dev hand-off.
- Maintain & evolve the design system - keep component libraries healthy, introduce new patterns, and document guidelines so engineering can move fast with confidence.
- Partner deeply with PM & Engineering - join weekly sprint planning, shape problem statements, and ship features that balance user value with technical constraints.
- Champion understanding users - plan and conduct interviews, usability testing, and rapid feedback loops; turn insights into actionable design improvements.
- Advance visual + interaction quality - raise the bar on typography, motion, accessibility, and micro-interactions across web and mobile experiences.
- Mentor by influence - upskill teammates in design thinking; run crits, workshops, and design jams even though you're the only designer on the org chart.
- Measure impact - define success metrics with Product Analytics and how other teams build products and iterate relentlessly toward them.
- Prepare for scale - identify when and where we'll need additional design resources; play an active role in shaping future hires and processes.
What You'll Bring- 4+ yrs designing digital products end-to-end, ideally in early-stage or high-growth startups.
- Portfolio showing shipped work that solves complex problems with elegant solutions-include situation, action, and impact.
- Fluency and discipline in Figma (components, variables, auto-layout, dev-mode) plus prototyping tools of your choice (e.g., Framer, v0, Cursor, Lovable).
- Comfort with lean research: moderated tests, unmoderated studies, and quick surveys.
- Solid understanding of React/HTML/CSS fundamentals; ability to speak dev's language and spot feasibility issues.
- Systems thinker who can understand the architecture of our current products and how it does or should impact the industry
- Excellent communication and over-communication: you can defend design decisions with data, empathy, and concise storytelling.
- Self-direction & prioritization: you thrive as a team of one, but never design in a silo.
- Bonus: experience standing up or evolving a mature design system; exposure to B2B SaaS or data-heavy products.
