QTYreEtORzhaTDFlVFd6ZFVWenhJNUdEdHc9PQ==
  • Knak Digital
  • Palo Alto, CA

Job Description

Type: Full-time 

Location: Remote (US)

The Role

We’re hiring a hands-on Core Product Designer to own key user experiences across our mobile app and web surfaces. You’ll partner directly with founders, PMs, and engineers to ship high-impact features, iterate with data, and bring craft and clarity to complex systems.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead end-to-end design for new and existing features (mobile first, with responsive web) from discovery to polished delivery.

  • Translate ambiguous problems into clear flows, wireframes, prototypes, and production-ready UI in Figma.

  • Instrument, review, and interpret product metrics and user feedback; iterate post-launch for measurable impact.

  • Write crisp specs/requirements and collaborate tightly with engineering on scope, states, and edge cases.

  • Raise the bar on visual polish, interaction quality, and accessibility; maintain coherent design systems.

  • Work across glamorous and “unsexy” surfaces with equal enthusiasm—no ego, sleeves rolled up.

You’ll Thrive Here If You Have

  • 3–8 years designing for external users, with strong mobile app work and demonstrable web experience.

  • A track record at Seed–Series C startups (or similarly fast-paced teams with strong design culture).

  • Depth in 1 to 5 iteration: improving live products, not just 0→1 launches.

  • Comfort designing in ambiguity and making logical, defensible design decisions.

  • Research & analytics fluency

What You’ll Bring (Qualifications)

  • Portfolio showing mobile-first consumer UX, shipped work, and before/after impact.

  • Proficiency in Figma (components, variants, prototyping) and modern design workflows.

  • Clear product thinking: problem framing, hypothesis setting, experiment design, and outcome measurement.

  • Excellent written communication—able to create specs that unblock engineering.

  • Education: Bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution (US-based preferred) or equivalent practical experience.

How We Work

  • Builder mindset, fast feedback loops, high ownership.

  • Data-informed, user-obsessed, and pragmatic about scope.

  • We value clarity, candor, and kindness.

Interview Process (Typical 4 Steps)

  1. Intro screen (30 min)

  2. Portfolio deep dive (systems thinking + craft)

  3. Working session with PM/Eng (requirements & iteration)

  4. Final conversation (team fit, logistics)
