Founding Product Designer - San Francisco, CA (Onsite)

Work experience

Experience designing for complex B2B/C workflows.

Experience at a high-growth startup (Seed to Series D).

Experience working autonomously without a PM.

Experience as a founding or sole designer.

We are looking for :

We're looking for a Founding Product Designer with 3+ years of experience in end-to-end product design, particularly within B2B or complex product environments. You should be comfortable working autonomously in a fast-paced, ambiguous startup setting and have a track record of translating complex workflows into simple, elegant, and visually polished user experiences. Bonus points if you have experience working directly with founders and have a design portfolio that showcases both strong systems thinking and a consumer-grade aesthetic.

What you'll do:

  • Own the entire product design process from user journeys and problem framing to high-fidelity UI/UX and visual design.
  • Take ownership of the product's look and feel, driving the creation of a cohesive and scalable design system.
  • Work closely with the CEO, CTO, and engineers to translate customer feedback and business needs into intuitive product experiences.
  • Design and prototype solutions for complex insurance workflows, simplifying them for users.
  • Lead the definition and nurturing of the design culture at FurtherAI from the ground up.
  • Collaborate directly with sales and customer success to establish and refine the product feedback loop.
