Campfire is the AI-native ERP built for lean finance teams. Automate reconciliations, close faster, and scale revenue without adding headcount. Backed by Accel, Y Combinator and Techstars.
About the role
We're looking for a Staff Design Engineer to help shape the core experience of Campfire's ERP platform. You'll take on our thorniest, highest-leverage design problems — the ones that touch multiple teams, span complex workflows, and require deep systems thinking. This is a senior individual-contributor role: you'll set design direction, raise the bar for craft across the team, and partner directly with engineering and product leadership to ship work that materially changes how finance teams operate.
What they're looking for
- 8+ years of product design experience, with a track record of owning complex, high-impact product areas end to end
- Experience designing for data-dense, workflow-heavy software (fintech, ERP, dev tools, B2B SaaS, or similar) is a strong plus
- Strong systems thinking — you can zoom out to see how a feature fits the broader product, and zoom in on pixel-level details
- A portfolio that shows range: 0-to-1 work, and rigorous iteration on existing systems
- Excellent communication skills, you can build alignment with engineers, PMs, and executives, and explain design rationale clearly
- Comfort working in ambiguity, with incomplete requirements, and evolving your own scope

You'll have significant ownership over ambiguous, cross-cutting problems (think: reimagining the general ledger experience, or designing a coherent system for how data flows between modules) rather than a single feature area.
