About the role

We're looking for our Founding Product Designer to establish product design at Fundamental and shape how people experience our products. You'll own the design system at the heart of our platform and lead the UX and UI of our platform and agentic products.

This is a hands-on role with significant ownership and impact. You'll work closely with Product and Engineering, from defining user problems and exploring concepts through detailed design and implementation.

• Define the principles, processes, and standards that guide product design across the company.

• Bring design into product discovery and help shape product direction from the earliest stages.

• Build a deep understanding of our users through research, usability testing, product usage, and direct conversations.

• Partner closely with Product and Engineering to identify user needs and turn them into clear product experiences.

• Build and maintain an AI-native design system, including UI kits, interaction patterns, prompt and response patterns, agent behaviors, and style guides used across our platform and products.

• Establish reusable components, standards, and workflows that create a consistent, intuitive experience across product surfaces and AI-powered interactions.

• Ensure the design system follows brand guidelines while translating them effectively across interfaces, intelligent behaviors, and emerging AI-native experiences.

• Work closely with engineers and AI teams through implementation to preserve design intent, usability, accessibility, and quality.

• Evolve the design system as our products, technical capabilities, AI workflows, and user needs develop.

• Lead design across the complete product lifecycle for predictive AI/ML and generative AI workflows.

• Design end-to-end experiences across our platform and agentic products.

• Define how users guide agents, understand their progress, review their work, provide input, and remain in control.

• Turn complex AI and data-science workflows into clear, intuitive experiences.

• Explore concepts, create prototypes, test them with users, and translate validated ideas into detailed designs.

• Balance user needs with technical feasibility, product performance, and business priorities.
