Lead Product Designer

What we’re looking for

We’re hiring a Lead Product Designer to lead UX for our AI-driven weather platform. As our first dedicated designer, you’ll define the design approach and ship intuitive interfaces for time-critical, expert workflows. You’ll partner daily with software engineers, research scientists, and go-to-market teams to turn complex functionality into simple, reliable tools that experts trust.

Responsibilities and tasks

• Lead the full UX/UI design lifecycle for web and platform, from research to delivery
• Conduct user research (interviews, surveys, usability testing) and synthesize qualitative and quantitative feedback into actionable insights
• Leverage analytics tools (e.g. user behavior tracking) to inform design decisions and measure impact
• Create and validate design concepts through user flows, personas, experience maps, wireframes, and interactive prototypes
• Develop and maintain a modular Figma design system, including documentation and usage guidelines, to ensure consistency
• Collaborate closely with engineers to ensure accurate and high-quality design implementation and resolve design/development trade-offs
• Craft clear, concise microcopy, including navigation labels, error states, and tooltips to support usability and tone consistency
• Communicate design rationale and present work to various stakeholders
• Stay current on UX/UI trends, tools, and best practices

Need-to-have

• 7+ years designing B2B, data-rich technical products; first/solo design hire or founding designer experience preferred
• Strong portfolio showcasing end-to-end design work, with emphasis on usability, visual design excellence, and measurable outcomes
• Experience instrumenting PostHog (or equivalent), defining an event taxonomy, building funnels/cohorts, and using insights to inform design while respecting user privacy.
• Advanced skills in Figma (prototyping, component libraries) and familiarity with other design/wireframing tools
• Hands-on experience with AI-assisted design tools and the ability to prompt, evaluate, and refine outputs into production-ready designs
• Strong understanding of responsive design, accessibility standards, and design systems
• Excellent collaboration skills and proven ability to work in agile, cross-functional teams
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English, with confidence in presenting to diverse stakeholders

Nice-to-have

• Basic front-end development knowledge (TypeScript, React & Tailwind)
• Experience designing for complex or data-rich applications

What’s in it for you

• Own and ship fast. Work in a product culture where engineers drive decisions, move from idea to production quickly, and see their impact in days, not quarters.
• Join a mission-driven company. Apply cutting-edge ML to global climate and energy challenges, an impact-first alternative to profit-only tech or finance roles.
• Work on groundbreaking technology. Be at the forefront of weather forecasting and machine learning, contributing to innovations that push boundaries.
• Collaborate in a high-agency team. Pair with experienced engineers and researchers in a hybrid environment that balances flexibility with in-person work.
• Shape a meaningful industry. Build solutions for the energy-trading sector, using AI to drive real-world change and influence the future of global markets.
