We\'re already accelerating engineering teams at some of the fastest-growing companies in the world. Read our Manifesto:
Spurtest.com/founders-letter The Opportunity: Why Design Matters at Spur
Design is not a layer at Spur—it’s foundational. As we scale quickly with customers like Wander.com, Living Spaces and Nextdoor, we\'re looking for a designer who can define how testing feels—not just how it functions. This is your chance to reimagine one of the most under-designed spaces in software. Testing tools and testing systems traditionally look like this. With Spur, testing isn\'t siloed in engineering or QA. Now, anyone on the team—from PMs to support and sales—can create and run tests using natural language. That shift changes everything. We’re eliminating the need for heavy testing teams and infrastructure—while raising the quality bar. The UX is central to making this possible. It has to feel trustworthy, intuitive, and powerful, all at once. AI is integrated at every stage of the journey—test creation, editing, execution, and reporting. Designing seamless, AI-driven workflows that build user confidence will be one of your most exciting and impactful challenges. We see this as a once-in-a-generation opportunity to redefine what UI/UX for software testing looks like—and we’re looking for someone who’s excited to take that on. The core work will include
First 6 Months
Own end-to-end product design, from early ideation through polished, shipped experiences
Create Spur’s visual identity—including brand, design system, and style guidelines
Design entirely new user workflows that make complex systems feel fast, intuitive, and powerful
Drive a culture of craft, where design quality and attention to detail are valued across the company
Work closely with engineering and product to shape the roadmap through a design lens
Help define our voice and presence—not just in-product, but across marketing and how Spur shows up in the world
Where this role can grow
Build & lead the design team, including hiring and team culture
Shape our public design voice through thought leadership, events, talks, and writing
Collaborate on GTM, helping craft assets, launch moments, and social content
Host design gatherings and represent Spur at industry events and conferences
Bonus points if you
Have prior experience founding a company or building products at early stages
Are ambitious and driven, and care a lot about doing great work with great people
Have a passion for ML/AI and its potential in product design
This is an in person role at our office in NYC. We’re an early stage company which means that the role requires working hard and moving quickly. Please only apply if that excites you. Benefits at Spur
Daily lunch, snacks, and more are available everyday in the office (you help choose)!
High quality medical, dental, and vision coverage options, flexible depending on your needs.
Unlimited PTO (We believe that recharging is essential to being the best that you can be.)
Spur Swag (which we hope you will design)
