Fundamental - Founding Product Designer
Requirements
• 7+ years of experience designing technical products, including complex enterprise B2B software, with a strong background in technical web applications, enterprise platforms, or developer tools. • At least 1–2 years of experience designing human-in-the-loop agentic experiences, including products and workflows spanning CLI, API, and graphical interfaces. • AI and ML domain expertise: A strong practical understanding of AI and ML workflows, their users, and the challenges of making these systems understandable and controllable. • Problem-solving ability: A track record of addressing complex design challenges while balancing usability, technical feasibility, and performance. • Research skills: Experience conducting user interviews, usability testing, and product discovery with technical users. • Collaboration and leadership: The ability to shape design strategy, influence product decisions, and collaborate effectively with Product and Engineering. • Comfort with ambiguity: The judgment and autonomy to identify user needs, frame unclear problems, and move from early exploration to shipped experiences. • A portfolio demonstrating strong interaction design, systems thinking, visual execution, and measurable product impact. • WHAT WILL MAKE YOU STAND OUT • AI-enabled design practice: You use AI tools for exploration, prototyping, content, or code assistance, improving speed, quality, and team workflows. • Code-first workflows: You’ve designed for products spanning agents, CLI, API, and UI, including developer tools, documentation, system feedback, and transitions between surfaces. • Experience designing cohesive experiences across code and graphical interfaces. • Experience mentoring designers or strengthening product-design practices.
Responsibilities
• Establish product design at Fundamental: • Define the principles, processes, and standards that guide product design across the company. • Bring design into product discovery and help shape product direction from the earliest stages. • Build a deep understanding of our users through research, usability testing, product usage, and direct conversations. • Partner closely with Product and Engineering to identify user needs and turn them into clear product experiences. • Build and evolve our AI-native design system: • Build and maintain an AI-native design system, including UI kits, interaction patterns, prompt and response patterns, agent behaviors, and style guides used across our platform and products. • Establish reusable components, standards, and workflows that create a consistent, intuitive experience across product surfaces and AI-powered interactions. • Ensure the design system follows brand guidelines while translating them effectively across interfaces, intelligent behaviors, and emerging AI-native experiences. • Work closely with engineers and AI teams through implementation to preserve design intent, usability, accessibility, and quality. • Evolve the design system as our products, technical capabilities, AI workflows, and user needs develop. • Shape our platform and product experiences: • Lead design across the complete product lifecycle for predictive AI/ML and generative AI workflows. • Design end-to-end experiences across our platform and agentic products. • Define how users guide agents, understand their progress, review their work, provide input, and remain in control. • Turn complex AI and data-science workflows into clear, intuitive experiences. • Explore concepts, create prototypes, test them with users, and translate validated ideas into detailed designs. • Balance user needs with technical feasibility, product performance, and business priorities.
