About the role
We’re building a brand-new product from scratch, and we need someone to design what it actually is — not the buttons, the product. This is a conceptual role: you invent the functions, the moments, the way the whole thing works and feels, from a blank page. You’re not polishing UI. You’re deciding what the product does and why it matters in someone’s life. Move fast, ship working concepts, learn, and go again. We care less about a perfect pixel and more about ideas nobody else would have had.
What they're looking for
- A concept-first designer. You design what a product does and how it feels, not just how it looks. You’ve invented product experiences, not just executed someone else’s spec
- Genuinely original ideas. You can point to things you’ve made that were new — concepts other people hadn’t thought of, that actually worked
- A deep sense for great products. You know what makes something amazing and one of a kind versus competent and forgettable, and you can say exactly why
- You turn capability into meaning. Handed a raw technical ability — say, a new AI capability — you can see the function it should become, the one that improves a user’s life
- A bias for speed. You ship working concepts fast and learn from them. You don’t disappear for weeks to perfect a pixel
- Comfortable at ground zero. Blank page, no patterns, no spec — that’s where you do your best work
