Founding Product Designer San Francisco, CA

What You’ll Do

Lead end-to-end design across all customer‑facing experiences, creating a seamless and intuitive journey from first touch to long‑term engagement.

Define and evolve Listen’s design system, visual language, and component library.

Collaborate closely with product and engineering to ship thoughtful, high‑impact features.

Prototype ideas rapidly using Figma, AI tools, or whatever communicates the vision best.

Influence product direction — you’ll shape what we build, not just how it looks.

Translate complex research workflows into simple, intuitive, and delightful user experiences.

Bring our brand to life across marketing moments — from launch visuals to merch and social content.

Balance high design standards with rapid iteration — knowing great work comes from both craft and momentum.

Champion customer insight in every decision, helping the team focus on what truly matters.

Build the design foundations — systems, principles, and processes — that will scale as we grow.

Who You Are

5+ years of product design experience, ideally at startups or high‑velocity teams.

Strong visual taste and attention to detail — you sweat the typography, not just the flow.

Expert in Figma and confident in building/maintaining design systems.

Strong product sense — you think deeply about tradeoffs, value, and impact.

Excited to experiment with AI‑driven tools and fast prototyping approaches.

Thrive in close collaboration with founders, engineers, and customers.

Clear communicator who can articulate design decisions and reasoning.

Bias toward action — you don’t stop at concepts; you ship.
