Founding Designer

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
