About this role

Founding Designer - [REDACTED]

Location: Remote (US-based preferred)

Type: Full-time / Contract (flexible)

About [REDACTED]

[REDACTED] has built a 120,000+ engineer community and works directly with some of the fastest-growing companies in the U.S. on their most critical hiring decisions. We’re now turning that network into a high-signal talent platform that connects exceptional engineers with founders who are actively building. Our products sit on both sides of the marketplace: consumer experiences used by engineers and B2B systems used by founders, hiring managers, and startup teams. Design is a critical aspect of this, as it directly determines trust, conversion, and hiring outcomes at scale.

The Role

We’re looking for a UI / UX Designer who can own and elevate the end-to-end design experience across [REDACTED]’s consumer and B2B products. You’ll be designing interfaces used daily by thousands of engineers nationwide and by founders actively hiring and evaluating talent.

You’ll work directly with the cofounders, collaborating closely with:

  • [REDACTED] (Co-founder)
  • [REDACTED] (Co-founder)

This is a high-ownership role with real influence over product direction.

What You’ll Work On

  • Designing intuitive, polished consumer experiences for engineers (profiles, onboarding, dashboards, evaluations)
  • Designing scalable B2B workflows for founders and startups (candidate discovery, hiring flows, analytics, internal tools)
  • Translating ambiguous product ideas into clear user flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity designs
  • Creating and maintaining a cohesive design system across multiple products
  • Collaborating closely with engineers to ensure designs ship exactly as intended
  • Rapid iteration based on user feedback, data, and founder input

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong UI and UX fundamentals with an eye for clean, modern design
  • Experience designing either consumer or enterprise products
  • Ability to think in systems, not just screens
  • Comfort working in fast-moving startup environments with tight deadlines
  • Strong communication skills and willingness to challenge ideas (including the founders’) when needed

Preferred Requirements

  • Experience in leading initiatives and launching to production
  • Seed - Series B startup experience is highly preferred
  • Experience working closely with founders, engineers, or product leads is a big plus
