Staff Product Designer (Consumer AI Startup)

An early-stage consumer startup that uses AI to change how people shop on mobile is looking for its first and only designer. This is a hands-on, high-ownership seat working directly alongside the founders and engineers.

What you’ll own

• Every aspect of product design for the mobile app, taking ideas from rough concept to finished screens
• Fast, fluid flows with animation, transitions and small interaction details that give the app a premium feel
• Engagement loops, game-like mechanics and social features aimed at retention and growth
• A design system and visual identity created from a blank page
• Product direction and roadmap discussions, bringing a strong design point of view to unclear problems
• Visual assets developed with the marketing team, and improvements informed by community feedback

Who thrives here

• Five or more years designing consumer mobile products, currently working as an individual contributor
• A mobile-first consumer app shipped with real adoption, shown through a portfolio of actual screens and flows rather than concepts
• Background at a well-known consumer tech brand or a strong venture-backed, mobile-first startup
• Expert Figma skills, including building design systems
• Case studies that connect a problem and a user behavior to a design decision
• Comfortable being the only designer in a quick-moving, uncertain startup; AI features, gamification or fashion and beauty experience is a plus
