• Own the full design process end-to-end — from understanding ambiguous problems to shipping solutions, without needing the problem framed in advance
• Partner directly with Oisin and a founding designer as well as wider team on product direction, roadmap priorities, and design philosophy — bring a point of view and defend it
• Drive consumer experience design: onboarding, social/viral loops, retention, growth surfaces.
• Work in a PLG/A/B testing environment — ship features, measure impact, iterate fast
• Eventually help shape the broader design team alongside founding designer (~3 total planned)
• Strong product thinking — takes a vague brief and frames + solves the problem independently. Shows "why" before "how"
• Consumer product background — has designed for B2C audiences at scale
• Opinions and backbone — has a design philosophy, can defend it under pushback, willing to disagree with a founder
• Chemistry and personality — interesting hobbies, curiosity, authenticity
• Ownership mindset — end-to-end, from problem definition to shipped solution
• Comfortable with experimentation, A/B testing, data-led iteration
• Early-stage or founding designer experience
• Experience with social/viral product mechanics
• Background at companies like Spotify, Strava, Notion, Monzo, or similar consumer PLG products
• Some craft/taste for visual design (not just process)
• Hobbies: Enjoys the outdoors, sports, or some other physical activity.
• Remote in Europe (preference: Western/continental Europe)
• Portugal/Lisbon relocation sponsorship possible
