Clearly AI
Founding UI/UX Design Engineer
Seattle / Remote | Full-Time
About Clearly AI Clearly AI automates security and privacy reviews with AI. We built the product we wish we had after performing hundreds of reviews at Amazon and Moveworks, and today our users complete reviews in minutes instead of days.
Clearly AI helps engineering teams ship faster by automating security and privacy reviews. Companies like Rivian, HID Global, and affirm use Clearly AI to cut review times from weeks to minutes. We’re building a new kind of AI workspace designed to help security, privacy, and compliance experts meet high standards in regulated enterprises.
We’re a fast-growing YC startup with enterprise customers who depend on us to stay secure and compliant without slowing down. As our founding UX/UI design engineer, you’ll shape the product experience end-to-end and set the design bar for everything that follows.
The Role We’re hiring a Founding UI/UX Design Engineer who blends exceptional design instincts with front-end engineering skills. You will own how our product looks, feels, and flows from first impressions to daily workflows. You will lead design for our entire product and marketing experience, building a best-in-class product for security and privacy teams.
You will also directly implement your designs in TypeScript and Next.js, working side-by-side with our founding engineers to build a cohesive, delightful experience that reflects Clearly’s voice and precision.
What You’ll Do
Own our entire product front-end from high-level information architecture to final implementation in Next.js
Design and refine user journeys across Clearly’s product, ensuring intuitive flows for technical and non-technical users alike
Create and maintain UX requirements and design standards, including reusable components and accessibility guidelines
Continuously improve usability and reducing friction through thoughtful visual and interaction design
Monitor product usage via implicit and explicit signals, and use those insights to iterate quickly
Own our marketing website, including building a new site in Next.js, optimizing for clarity, SEO, and conversion, and maintaining consistency with our product and brand
Collaborate closely with engineering, product, and founders to translate user needs into elegant, performant solutions
What We’re Looking For
5+ years of experience in UI/UX design for web applications, ideally for B2B SaaS
Strong frontend engineering skills, including proficiency in TypeScript, Next.js, and modern CSS frameworks such as Tailwind
Proven ability to take products from low-fidelity concepts to polished, production-ready interfaces
Experience building design systems or component libraries for consistency and scalability
A data‑informed mindset and comfort analyzing user behavior and soliciting feedback directly from our customers
Startup DNA: thrives in ambiguity, moves fast, and loves crafting from 0 to 1
Nice to Have
Experience designing AI or developer‑focused products
Familiarity with Figma‑to‑code workflows or other rapid prototyping methods (e.g., v0, Lovable)
Interest in security, privacy, or developer tools
Why Join Clearly AI
Be the founding designer shaping both our product and brand from the ground up
Work in a fast‑paced, high‑ownership environment where design decisions have immediate impact
Work with security and privacy leaders at cutting‑edge companies
YC alum with proven, technical founders and strong growth momentum
Competitive salary, equity, and benefits
Direct path to leadership opportunities as the company scales
