Full Job Description
The Design Problem
  • Product is moving from a screen-first build model, where the underlying system is designed first and the interface follows.
  • Today's product is fully deterministic, human-driven screens. You'd help define, from scratch, what this platform looks like as AI becomes a first-class part of it - AI agents as a new type of participant alongside human users, and AI as a new interaction modality for human users themselves.
  • Workflows are tied to assets that can live 5-7 years, resurfacing repeatedly at different cadences over that lifetime, with multiple parties holding different views and permissions each time.
  • Clients regularly bring new deal and asset structures the platform hasn't seen before, so the product has to accommodate structural variation it can't fully anticipate.
  • Permissioning is layered - participants often have their own downstream stakeholders who need visibility into a subset of the same information.
  • A point of view on how AI is reshaping what a "product" is - where a great interface is still needed versus where the underlying data itself, exposed well, is becoming the product - is a plus.
What You'll Do
  • Own one or two major product surfaces end-to-end - from problem framing through shipped, polished detail.
  • Design and ship the platform's first real AI-native interaction pattern in an otherwise fully deterministic product - no existing pattern to extend from.
  • Design for dense, structured financial data at scale, and for multi-party, long-running workflows with layered permissions.
  • Work closely with the PM and engineers on your surface to develop the strategy and rationale behind what you build, not just execute a spec.
  • Contribute to and help shape a design system built for extensibility across evolving workflows and asset structures.
  • Set an example in critique and day-to-day work for how design is done here - the work itself is the signal, not a title or mandate.
What You Should Have
  • Prior experience in product design roles shipping software to users, working closely with cross-functional teams on the strategy and rationale for features, not just executing handed-off specs.
  • Real, hands-on experience designing AI-native interaction patterns, or clear fluency and specific examples of exploring them - not just general enthusiasm.
  • Comfort designing for dense, data-heavy interfaces, not just typical consumer-style layouts.
  • An outstanding portfolio with case studies showing typography, interaction, and visual design craft, plus product sense and idea generation.
  • Comprehensive experience using prototyping to explore and convey design solutions.
  • Excellent written, verbal, and storytelling skill.

What We Offer
  • Competitive salary + equity.
  • Healthcare coverage.
  • 401k
