Overview Role: Product Designer 5 days a week in NYC HQ Base salary: $175k-$250k Equity: Competitive initial equity package + refreshers 5+ years of experience About Pillar Pillar is building the next-generation commodity risk management stack for the $10T physical economy. We combine real-time market data with AI-powered exposure modeling and automated trade generation to arm operators with precise protection from volatility. From instant execution to continuous monitoring, alerts, and recommendations, Pillar turns complex market risk into a fully managed, always-on hedging engine. We were founded in 2023 by the youngest macro market-maker at Barclays and a trading systems engineer at Coinbase, and have raised over $20M in capital from Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Crucible Capital, Neo, DST Global, and more. The Role We’re hiring a Product Designer to help define what modern commodity risk software should look and feel like. At Pillar, design means making an exceptionally complex domain clear, fast, and intuitive for people with different roles, levels of market expertise, and ways of working. You’ll own critical product experiences from ambiguous problem through shipped solution, working directly with founders, engineers, and customers. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role for a designer with great taste, strong product judgment, and an eye for the tiny details that determine how a product feels. You should be equally comfortable thinking in systems, learning complex workflows, prototyping quickly, and refining an interaction until it is excellent. What You’ll Do Own core product experiences end-to-end—from customer research and early concepts through polished UI, launch, and iteration Learn complex commodity risk workflows and turn them into one clear, intuitive experience across diverse users, workflows, and domains Work directly with founders, engineers, and customers to define product direction and translate real operating needs into shipped solutions Solve

Perplexity is looking for a Lead Product Designer to own the design of our enterprise product. You'll design new experiences across enterprise and multiplayer use cases — making software that feels like the future but can be understood and used by anyone in the world today. These surfaces are net-new and, in many cases, unprecedented. You'll be building them 0→1, which means bringing deep knowledge of how enterprise software actually works: organizational and seat management, and deeply nuanced role-based experiences that account for workplace policy, compliance, administrative management, privacy, permissions, and security. You'll ship features that balance well-established UI paradigms with novel applications of AI, working independently and strategically to find both the problems worth solving and the solutions worth shipping. Good design that nobody gets to use is wasted, so you'll optimize for getting great software into customers' hands and learning from real usage. You'll work closely with product, engineering, and the broader design team, and you care about everything it takes to make a product great: product, interaction, brand, growth, copywriting, engineering, and marketing. What you'll do Design net-new, 0→1 enterprise surfaces across enterprise and general multiplayer use cases Design for the realities of enterprise software: organizational management, seat management, admin controls, permissions, privacy, security, and compliance Craft deeply nuanced role-based experiences that adapt to workplace policy and different levels of access and responsibility Ship features that balance well-established UI paradigms with novel applications of AI Make software that feels like the future but can be used and understood by anyone in the world today Work independently and strategically — finding the problems and the solutions Own work end-to-end, from 0→1 product design through large-scale optimization Contribute to process so we're always shipping changes you're p

Perplexity is looking for an experienced Lead Product Designer to own design for Growth. You'll shape the experiences that bring Perplexity to as many people as possible — making software that feels like the future but can be understood and used by anyone in the world today. Growth design has its own craft and nuance. You'll own the highest-leverage moments in the user journey: first-run onboarding and activation, consumer acquisition surfaces, conversion and upsell flows, paywalls and pricing, and the retention loops that turn first-time users into daily ones. This is design where a few pixels or a single step can move real numbers, so you'll pair a high craft bar with rigorous experimentation — shipping constantly and letting real data guide the work. You care about clarity, craft, details, and delight as much as you care about growth and impact. This role is deeply cross-functional: you'll partner closely with our Growth and Product Marketing teams to align on positioning, messaging, and funnel strategy, and you care about everything it takes to make a product great: product, interaction, brand, growth, copywriting, engineering, and marketing. What you'll do Lead product design for Growth across the full funnel — acquisition, onboarding, activation, conversion, upsells, and retention Design first-run and onboarding experiences that get users to value as fast as possible Craft consumer acquisition and activation surfaces, and conversion/upsell flows including paywalls, pricing, and plan comparison Partner closely with Growth and Product Marketing on positioning, messaging, landing experiences, and funnel strategy Design and run experiments, using data and real usage to drive decisions and measure impact Ship features that balance well-established UI paradigms with novel applications of AI Think about how to go from 0→1 but also how to make your decisions scale well Contribute to process so we're always shipping changes you're proud of, as often as possible Partner

Our Mission You call. You wait. You call again. In every other part of your life, you book in seconds. In healthcare, you’re blocked. We’re here to give power to the patient. For nearly 20 years, we’ve built the leading healthcare marketplace - helping tens of millions of people find and book the care they need. Now, we’re going further: building our infrastructure beyond Zocdoc’s marketplace to power access to care wherever patients search, from provider websites and insurance directories to search engines, AI platforms, and more. Healthcare still lacks something every other major consumer industry takes for granted: a seamless way to go from seeking to getting . We don’t want to own the front door to care; there isn't one. We want to make sure all of those doors open when patients are knocking. Fixing healthcare starts with fixing access to it. And we're still just getting started. Your Impact on our Mission At Zocdoc, we are building products that help people access care more easily and help partners deliver better scheduling experiences at scale. As a Lead Product Designer on Care Access Network, you will shape partner-facing experiences that help healthcare organizations understand what is possible with Zocdoc and imagine new ways we can work together. You will bring product design, storytelling, and rapid prototyping together to create compelling visions of future partnership opportunities across dashboards, workflows, reporting, concepts, and tailored experiences. This is a lead-level individual contributor role for a designer who can move fluidly between strategy, craft, systems thinking, and hands-on making. You will work in a highly consultative environment, using design as a superpower to help prospective and existing partners see around corners, align on opportunity, and build confidence in where the business relationship can go next. You will also help define how design works in a more AI-native product development model, using

Scale is hiring a Staff Product Designer to lead product design for Scale's Public Sector business unit. Public Sector brings AI-powered decision support directly to government and national security customers. You'll design sophisticated tools for critical operations including crisis planning, geo spatial- visualization, and human-agent collaborative canvases. Much of this work has no established playbook. The conventions for how humans and agents plan, review, and decide together are still being written, and this role will help write them. You'll push past existing patterns to establish new ones, then make them durable enough for the rest of the platform to build on. This is a role for a designer who enjoys untangling dense workflows and making powerful systems feel coherent, intuitive, and trustworthy at speed. What you’ll do Own the end-to-end design, from undefined requirements through wireframes, high-fidelity mockups, and interactive prototypes. Develop state-of-the-art techniques to leverage AI in design systems and processes. Design for complex, data-dense workflows: dashboards, mapping interfaces, alerting systems, and analytical reporting tools. Partner directly with Product and Engineering peers to turn ambiguity into clear product directions, work through tradeoffs and launch experiences. Work directly in code alongside engineers, going beyond static mockups to help build and refine the shipped experience. Work with customers, building direct relationships during key project touchpoints (discovery, feedback, post-launch) and confidently socializing design decisions with stakeholders. Contribute design assets and interaction patterns back to the broader platform. Who you are 10–15 years of experience across a range of design settings and problem types. You're energized by complexity. You take dense, tangled systems and turn them into something elegant and easy to use, and you're at your best when the problem is hard. You bring clarity to ambiguity.
