Staff Product Designer at Raydar

About the company

Our client is a venture-backed AI software company rebuilding how go-to-market teams create customer-facing work. Its newly launched agent-first platform is growing at a double-digit weekly rate and is already used by major technology companies. With more than $71 million raised and a compact 20-person team, the company is at a rare point where strong traction meets a wide-open product and design language.

The role and why it matters

This is a founding design seat with direct access to product leadership, founders, and engineering. You will define how an AI-native product feels, how users direct and trust an agent, and what excellent generated work looks like across the customer journey.

What you'll do

• Own the core experience for requesting, shaping, reviewing, editing, and publishing agent-generated work.

• Invent new interaction models for an AI product rather than inheriting a mature design system.

• Set the visual and creative quality bar for both the interface and the agent's output.

• Partner closely with engineering to improve defaults, constraints, evaluations, brand adherence, and feedback loops.

• Shape product strategy with founders and product leadership, then prototype and refine ideas quickly.

• Move fluidly from product architecture and systems thinking to detailed interaction and visual decisions.

Requirements

What we're looking for

• At least 5 years of product design experience with a strong record of shipping products people use.

• A portfolio that demonstrates exceptional visual craft and novel zero-to-one work, not only assembled design-system screens.

• Experience in an early-stage or breakout startup, ideally in B2B SaaS, productivity software, or applied AI.

• Genuine enthusiasm for AI as a design medium and active use of modern AI tools in your work.

• High ownership, sound judgment, urgency, and comfort working directly with founders and engineers.

• Ability and willingness to work in the New York City office five days per week.

Bonus points

• Experience as a founding or sole designer at a venture-backed startup.

• A high-slope career path with rapid progression or recognition from a strong design fellowship.

• Experience designing creative tools, agent workflows, or AI-generated outputs.

Benefits

• $200K-$260K base salary.

• Competitive equity.

• Visa transfers may be considered for candidates who already hold valid U.S. work authorization. New visa sponsorship is not available.

• Full-time, on-site work in New York, NY. The team works together in the Flatiron area five days per week.
