## **The Role**

This is not a normal design role.

You’re not just designing - you’re:

* Defining how the product feels end-to-end
* Owning the entire user experience (from first impression → daily usage)
* Turning complex workflows into simple, intuitive interfaces
* Acting as a bridge between product, engineering, and growth

This role is core to the company.\
Design directly impacts how fast we grow.

## **What You’ll Do**

* Own product UX across the entire platform (0 → 1 and beyond)
* Design and ship in **Framer** (site updates, landing pages, growth pages)
* Turn messy workflows into clean, intuitive UX
* Create **one-pagers, sales collateral, and marketing assets**
* Produce **videos and visual content** for product + growth
* Improve onboarding and time-to-value (first response is everything)
* Work closely with founders + engineers to ship fast
* Continuously iterate based on real user feedback

## **Who You Are**

We’re looking for scrappy, high-agency builders who care deeply about product.

You might be:

* A former founder
* An early designer at a startup
* Someone who has built and shipped products end-to-end

You:

* Have strong product taste and high standards
* Are extremely hands-on (you design and think in systems)
* Move fast and don’t wait for perfect specs
* Care about how things work, not just how they look
* Can simplify complex problems into clear UX
* Want to win — and are willing to hustle for it
