Product Designer

Basis is seeking a Product Designer to lead the design of user-agent interactions across multiple surfaces, from first sketch to polished release, and to design both the screens accountants see and the invisible UI “toolbox” agents draw from.

Responsibilities

• Build Design and redesign user-agent interactions across multiple surfaces, from first sketch to polished release
• Invent agent-ready UI primitives that agents can assemble, edit, and explain in real time
• Partner closely with product design on working agents seamlessly into new and existing products
• Understand our many accounting users: Building really good systems here start from deep user empathy
• Be a visionary: Pair with founders to sketch Basis 2027, then distill it into quarterly bets
• Learn at warp speed: Immerse in what makes accounting awesome, emergent abilities of LLMs, and various UX for generally-intelligent software, then turn that insight into product decisions

Requirements

• 4–8 years designing complex SaaS or AI tooling, with at least one 0→1 launch
• First-principles reasoner: You break problems to fundamentals and rebuild without legacy bias
• Agent-native builder: You already prototype with LLMs and can explain why they change UX
• Use AI a lot: You should be using AI for your own work a ton
• In-person NYC: You want the energy of five days a week on whiteboards with engineers, accountants, and founders
• Learning velocity: New domains (hello, accounting!) and new tech click for you in weeks, not months
• Whiteboard-to-Figma range: Comfortable sketching flows live with engineers, then polishing interactions on your own
• Autonomy & ownership: Happy to make decisions without a committee and own a problem space end-to-end
