Job Description

About the Role

Join an early-stage AI recruiting company as its first designer in a fractional role, contributing 10 to 20 hours per week. You will shape the product experience and establish design standards that guide the team as it builds.

What You'll Do

  • Own design across key product surfaces, from early concepts through shipped experiences.
  • Establish design systems, standards, and documentation that help the team build consistently.
  • Make product and design decisions with limited information, then iterate based on user feedback.
  • Partner with product and engineering to implement designs and work through technical constraints.
  • Use user research, usability testing, and qualitative feedback to inform design choices.

What We're Looking For

  • At least 3 years of experience designing and shipping consumer or B2B products end to end.
  • A functional portfolio showing shipped work, your problem-solving approach, and clear examples of product impact.
  • Experience building design systems and documentation for product teams.
  • Proficiency with Figma, Sketch, or Adobe XD for high-fidelity mockups and prototypes.
  • Experience collaborating directly with product and engineering teams, including navigating technical constraints.
  • Experience with modern desktop B2B or SaaS products; early-stage startup or fractional design experience is a plus.
  • Familiarity with design-to-code handoff and HTML/CSS is helpful.
  • Availability and compensation expectations suited to a 10 to 20 hour per week engagement.
