> Designs innovative user-agent interactions and UI primitives for AI-powered accounting agents, leading from user research and sketches to production releases. Requires 4-8 years in complex SaaS/AI design with 0→1 launches and heavy AI usage.

## Job Description

## What you'll do

- Design and redesign user-agent interactions across multiple surfaces, from first sketch to polished release
- Invent agent-ready UI primitives that agents can assemble, edit, and explain in real time
- Partner closely with product design on working agents seamlessly into new and existing products
- Be a visionary: Pair with founders to sketch Basis 2027, then distill it into quarterly bets
- Understand our many accounting users: Building really good systems here start from deep user empathy. You will spend a portion of your time actually doing accounting work in Basis and becoming a user
- Learn at warp speed: Immerse in what makes accounting awesome, emergent abilities of LLMs, and various UX for generally-intelligent software, then turn that insight into product decisions

## What you'll bring

- **Experience**: 4–8 years designing complex SaaS or AI tooling, with at least one 0→1 launch (extraordinary talent with fewer years considered)
- **First-principles reasoner**: You break problems to fundamentals and rebuild without legacy bias
- **Agent-native builder**: You already prototype with LLMs and can explain why they change UX
- **Use AI a lot**: You should be using AI for your own work a ton. To learn, brainstorm, write, research etc.
- **Research-to-Figma range**: Comfortable running user research sessions, planning new features with PMs & engineers, sketching flows live, exploring diverse design solutions, and iterating on released products
- **All-in mindset**: High-intensity culture, high-upside equity, and a wide-open canvas sound perfect

## What we’d love to see

- Accounting: Practical knowledge of accounting principles
- Product ownership: Experience owning a product end-to-end
