Job Description

Join a growing startup as Product Design Lead, owning product design and UX, crafting intuitive flows and interfaces, and collaborating with founders and engineers in Berlin.

This is a unique opportunity to join a growing startup on the ground floor as our Product Design Lead. You will be the first designer on our founding team, meaning you will have a unique opportunity to shape not only the product but also how design is embedded in our culture and decision‑making process.

As our Product Design Lead, you will own our product design and user experience. Your goal is to craft intuitive flows and elegant interfaces that make complex workflows simple. You'll operate at the intersection of our customers, technology, and business, partnering directly with the founders and our engineering team to build the product.

Core responsibilities

Be responsible for all aspects of design with a primary focus on our product and user experience (UX).
Help bring a wonderful AI‑first product to market that is intuitive, beautiful, and user‑friendly while solving complex workflows.
Understand what our customers want via interviews, user research, and data analytics.
Work closely with product managers and engineers to bring ideas to life, balancing aesthetics with functionality.
Build scalable design systems and frameworks that grow with the company.
Ensure visual consistency across all touchpoints, from product UI to website and marketing assets, to create a unified experience.
Evolve our brand identity over time, starting with immediate visual alignment and leading a strategic refresh in the near future.

You’ll thrive if:

You love working on 0-to-1 products. You don't need a roadmap handed to you; you enjoy the freedom of creating structure where there is none and defining the path forward.
You thrive in a high‑performance environment and have a desire to push the boundaries of what's possible with AI.
You embody a "no task is too small" mindset. You are an owner who is just as happy solving high‑level architectural problems as you are rolling up your sleeves.
You love building fast and overcoming new challenges. You are energized by an ambitious environment where the work is intense, fast‑paced, and deeply rewarding.
You enjoy working closely together as a team in office. You believe that real‑time collaboration drives speed.

What’s in it for you:

Ownership from day 1. You aren't just executing tickets; you are defining the product. You will work side‑by‑side with founders with zero red tape.
Grow with the company. If we succeed and the company wins, your scope expands. As we grow, you will see a bigger role and deeper impact.
Shared upside. We offer top‑of‑market salary and generous equity. We want you to think like an owner because you are one.
Work on a mission that matters. You aren't optimizing ad clicks. You are helping save businesses and the public billions in waste.

Our process:

Intro Call: 30‑minute video call to get to know you and talk about your portfolio work.
On‑Site: A 2–3 hour session with a presentation, followed by 1:1 interviews with Engineering and GTM.
Offer: We move fast. Expect a quick final decision and transparent feedback immediately following the on‑site.

Requirements

3+ years of experience in product and UX design
Proven ability to craft UIs, flows, and prototypes
Autonomous and able to own a complex product from concept to launch
Based in Berlin or willing to relocate
