About the role
Skills: Tailwind, Figma, React

We’re looking for a founding designer (first design hire) to come build with us in-person in San Francisco. You'll work across our entire product surface and shape design at Circleback.

Circleback is loved and used by thousands of people every day. We're a small team that deeply values product design and craft with surface areas across the web, our desktop and mobile apps, emails, and more. We’re growing fast and looking for a founding designer to help us continue to make the product better every week.

What you’ll do

As the founding designer, you will:

  • Design best-in-class experiences to help teams get the most out of every meeting from the ground up, from concept to pixel-perfect execution
  • Deeply understand customer problems and find elegant ways to solve them
  • Think through, and design patterns to organize information that feels effortless to find and make use of
  • Find ways to simplify complex user journeys and keep Circleback simple to use
  • Iterate quickly on product changes for experiments around onboarding, activation, and education
  • Establish systems and building blocks that enables the rest of the team to ship quickly without compromising on quality or introducing inconsistencies
  • Create and refine messaging, brand visuals (ad variants, billboards, merch, etc.), landing page improvements, blog layouts
  • Work directly with the founders and team to build a best-in-class product

Who you are

You’ll be successful if you:

  • Build things for fun
  • Love your craft, notice details in the world, and are curious about how things work
  • Understand that best product experiences are often invisible
  • Irked by things not working properly or as well as they could
  • Move fast and don’t get attached to an idea or process (strong opinions, loosely held)
  • Interested in the challenge of making powerful tools without compromising simplicity
  • Can keep a broad set of customer perspectives in mind

Bonus if you:

  • Code (we don’t expect you to ship production code but we value having a technical understanding)
  • Use Circleback (we have a free trial)
