About the role
What You'll Work On
- Own product areas end-to-end, from initial insight to shipped experience
- Lead greenfield explorations and turn blank-canvas ideas into real products
- Prototype aggressively, in code, AI tools, Figma, or whatever gets the idea across fastest
- Work directly with engineers and PMs to shape product direction, not just execution
- Think deeply about systems, workflows, and how features compound across the platform
- Use AI tools as part of your daily workflow to increase speed, creativity, and iteration velocity
- Raise the quality bar across the company through strong product judgment and craft
- Push ideas into reality quickly instead of over-optimizing in planning phases
How We Work

- Prototype early instead of debating endlessly
- Use AI heavily across design, product thinking, research, and engineering
- Small, high-agency teams outperform much larger organizations
- Believe the best builders in the AI era are token maxxers who use AI relentlessly to compress execution cycles
- Care more about shipping and learning than rigid role boundaries
What We're Looking For
- 3–6 years of product design experience, ideally at startups or highly product-driven teams
- Strong track record of owning products or features from concept through launch
- High agency — naturally move things forward without waiting for direction
- Strong product instincts and clear opinions about what should exist and why
- Excellent visual and interaction design skills, grounded in systems thinking
- Comfort operating in ambiguity and figuring things out in real time
- Bias toward building and prototyping over endless ideation
- Strong communication with engineers, PMs, and leadership
- Excitement about AI-native workflows and the future of product creation
Bonus Points

- Experience with tools like Cursor, v0, Lovable, Replit, Claude, or similar

What Success Looks Like
