Designer Startup typically refers to a designer involved in early-stage product or business design, often working in startups or entrepreneurial settings. Graphic Designer usually focuses on visual communication, branding, and print or digital media. While both roles require design skills, Designer Startup emphasizes product design, user experience, and business impact, often with a broader skill set. Graphic Designers tend to specialize in visual aesthetics and branding. Understanding these differences helps job seekers target the right roles and employers in the design industry.

Key responsibilities

  • Design and ship high-quality product experiences, including prototypes and visuals.

  • Translate complex AI reasoning into actionable user experiences.

  • Work closely with engineering to deliver high-fidelity, system-aware interfaces.


Job description

We're hiring a Product Designer to craft the interfaces and experiences that power Antimetal's investigation and automation engine.
This role is core to our product. You'll design and ship high-performance UIs, prototype new interaction models, and ensure our frontend is as scalable and reliable as the infrastructure it represents.
About Antimetal
Antimetal is building the future of infrastructure management. We're starting by creating a platform that investigates, resolves, and prevents issues-giving engineers their time back to focus on what they do best: building great products.
What You'll Do:
  • Design and ship high‑quality product experiences-from early concepts to polished prototypes and visuals.
  • Translate complex AI reasoning into an actionable experience providing wisdom.
  • Own our visual language and design system to ensure consistent execution.
  • Use research, data, and iteration to continually improve the end‑to‑end experience.
  • Work closely with engineering to ship high-fidelity experiences with systems thinking.
  • Accelerate our market fit through best-in-class user experiences.

What you bring:
  • A portfolio that shows real product and business impact.
  • Deep UX expertise-clear user flows, interaction design, and usability.
  • Sharp visual craft across design, typography, and layout; a refined eye for detail.
  • Experience designing data‑rich or AI‑native interfaces.
  • Comfortable in a fast-moving, high-performance startup environment.
  • Excited to dive into agents and LLMs and help define how AI‑first products should look and behave.

Bonus:
  • Experience with data-intensive products, developer tools, or observability platforms.
  • Exposure to real-time applications or non-deterministic UX (e.g., AI/ML systems).
  • Experience at an early-stage startup, ideally in a role where design and engineering were closely intertwined.
  • Strong product thinking skills.
  • Designer founder experience.

Who you are:
  • Identify as a builder.
  • Are excited to work in-person from our new and spacious office in New York.
  • Love working in a startup environment (experience in a startup or obsession with going zero-to-one).
  • Enjoy working with people who are ambitious, caring, and think in systems.
  • Thrive in a fast-paced iterative environment where experimentation and out of the box thinking is essential.
  • Can admit when you're wrong, and enjoy working with others that do too.

What we bring:
  • Pay & ownership - Competitive salary with generous equity grants.
  • Full coverage + retirement - Fully covered health, dental, and vision, plus retirement benefits.
  • Unlimited PTO - Take the time you need to recharge.
  • Dinner on late nights - Working late? Dinner is on us.
  • Fitness stipend - Monthly support for your health and wellness.
  • Tools of the trade - Any equipment you need to do your best work.
  • Commute perks - Citi Bike + train benefits.
