Founding Product Designer

Gigi is seeking a founding product designer to help define how people experience their AI networking platform, from user research to design language.

Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end product design: user research, flows, wireframes, interaction, visual polish
• Translate fuzzy ideas and AI capabilities into intuitive, human experiences
• Design and improve the core loops: onboarding, search, recommendations, connection flows, and daily engagement
• Prototype and test quickly to validate UX before scaling
• Establish Gigi’s design language + system across product and brand
• Partner with the founder and engineers on product strategy and feature definition
• Build the foundation of design culture at Gigi and mentor future hires

Requirements

• 3+ years in product design with a strong UX focus (consumer apps, social, marketplaces, or other high-retention products)
• Designed and shipped 0→1 experiences where UX was the make-or-break factor
• Exceptional at user flows, and interaction design; can wireframe as easily as polish
• Portfolio that shows systems thinking (how the product fits together), not just isolated screens
• Deep understanding of user psychology, behavior loops, and retention mechanics
• Comfortable in fast, ambiguous environments — design scrappy first, then refine

Key Skills

• Motion design
• Brand identity
• Product writing

Benefits

• Competitive salary + significant ownership
• Relocation: visa sponsorship and support to move to San Francisco if needed
• Office: In-person work in our SF office
