Job Description

Founding Product Designer for Stealth startup


Location: London (Kings Cross) – on-site 4–5 days per week


Compensation: £100–130K+ (depending on experience)


Our client is a stealth-mode communications and AI startup founded by early Facebook product engineers. Backed by top-tier venture capital and respected angel investors, they are rethinking how people connect and get work done, combining the power of AI with human-centered design.


The founders are engineers with a strong eye for UI, and every pixel in the product so far has come from them. Now they’re looking for their first design partner: the fourth person to join the team, and the first hire outside of the founders. That’s how much they value design.


The Role


Looking for a Founding Product Designer who can move fast, design with clarity, and bring ideas to life on screen. This role is hands-on: prototyping, iterating, and shipping product with speed and precision.

You’ll design for web and mobile (iOS/Android), helping to solve complex product challenges like how AI fits into human workflows, whilst ensuring the product feels personal, intuitive, and connected.


What You’ll Do


  • Design intuitive, aesthetically sharp experiences across web and mobile.


  • Rapidly prototype and iterate in Figma (or your preferred tools).


  • Collaborate daily with founders to turn product ideas into polished UI.


  • Balance speed with user insight, always considering real-world use cases.


  • Explore new ways to integrate AI while keeping human connection at the center.


  • Bring fresh ideas, challenge assumptions, and push the team to think differently.


About You


  • Strong track record designing consumer-grade products with high aesthetic quality.


  • Skilled at simplifying complex problems into elegant user experiences.


  • Scrappy and execution-focused—you get pixels on screen fast.


  • Comfortable with ambiguity and motivated to shape a product from zero to one.


  • Open, collaborative, and able to give and receive feedback well.


  • Bonus: technical fluency or ability to tweak code (e.g. CSS, HTML, React, React Native) (not required).


Why Join Us


  • Impact from day one: Shape the product and company from the ground up.


  • Design-led culture: Work with founders who deeply value design.


  • Strong backing: Supported by leading VCs and respected angel investors.


If you’re excited to design the future of AI-powered communication, we’d love to hear from you!
