Staff Product Designer at Trust In SODA

Senior Product Designer - Consumer Tech (SF Bay Area)

Our client, an early-stage consumer AI startup founded by experienced entrepreneurs (ex-Google, Twitter,), is looking for a Senior Product Designer with a deep consumer focus. This well-funded company, backed by a top-tier VC, is targeting hundreds of millions of global users with an ambitious product.

Key Requirements:

• Consumer Design Expertise

  Must have 3+ years of consumer-focused experience, with strong intuition about how consumers think and behave.

  
  

• App & Website Product Design

  At least 5+ years of hands-on design experience across all stages, from visual to interaction.

  
  

• Figma Expert

  Ability to quickly translate ideas into clickable prototypes in minutes.

  
  

• Full Design Ownership

  Willing to handle all aspects of design (visual, interaction, content, etc.) with the autonomy to hire for any areas outside their direct expertise.

  
  

• Startup Environment Experience

  Proven track record of working in ultra-fast-paced environments and collaborating with smart engineers.

  
  

• SF Bay Area Based

  Must be located in or near the SF Bay Area and able to be in the office (Mountain View) at least four days a week.

  
  

• Hands-On Designer

  Ideally at L4 - L5 level, but must be highly hands-on.

  
  

• Ambiguity Navigator

  Able to manage uncertainty with a positive, proactive approach.

  
  

Nice-to-Have Skills:

• Leadership Experience

  Leadership skills are a bonus, though not required, as the role is initially focused on individual contributions.

  
  

• Consumer-Facing Product Experience

  Ideally has experience working on at least one product feature with tens of millions of global users.

  
  

• AI Knowledge

  Willing to dive deep into AI and learn about it.

  
  

• Basic Coding

  Willing to learn to use IDE/Git to commit style changes.

  
  

Not a Fit:

• Candidates with only enterprise or developer-focused design experience.

This is an exciting opportunity to shape the design of a product that aims to reach a massive global audience while being part of a tight-knit, dynamic team. If you are a hands-on designer ready to make an impact in the consumer tech space, this could be the role for you!
