Senior Product Designer

Raylu AI is hiring a Senior Product Designer to help investors find and act on deals, with an end-to-end, weekly shipping mindset.

Responsibilities

• Own product design end to end, taking features from early, unclear problems through wireframes, high-fidelity design, and shipped outcomes
• Design interfaces for data-dense workflows, turning market maps, company signals, research, and outreach into tools investors can scan, trust, and act on quickly
• Ship weekly by getting work in front of users early, learning from what is live, and iterating instead of waiting for perfect
• Own outcomes by following work through launch, measuring whether it worked, and fixing what did not
• Prototype to reach answers fast using AI tools, Figma, or code and explore new interaction patterns for working alongside AI
• Work closely with engineering to understand technical constraints, refine what ships, and help define what “polish” means
• Talk with users continuously through interviews and usability tests with investors, then synthesize findings to support roadmap decisions
• Build the product design system by identifying shared patterns and translating them into reusable components
• Take ownership by deciding what matters most and driving it forward without waiting to be told
• Days 1–30: learn the product and users by sitting in on customer calls, interviewing investors, auditing the current experience for friction and inconsistency, and shipping a first improvement within the first two weeks
• Days 31–60: continue shipping meaningful improvements to a core workflow and extend shared design system foundations
• Days 61–90: lead design on a major new feature from concept to launch, and propose design priorities for the next quarter

Requirements

• Startup product design experience, with work you can clearly walk through from problem to shipped result
• Systems thinking experience tackling open-ended problems beyond one-off flows
• Craft and judgment with attention to polish and detail, plus an ability to be scrappy when needed
• Prototyping instinct focused on interactions (not static screens), using AI tools, Figma, or code to get to “try it” fast
• Clear communication: explain tradeoffs and make ideas land with engineers, founders, and customers
• Bias to action by finding problems, proposing fixes, shipping, and measuring progress by what ships (not only what is designed)
• Resilience to handle tough feedback, killed ideas, and sudden changes while returning with a better version
• Low ego, high standards: hold strong opinions loosely, ask for critique, and prioritize the best idea winning
• Ability to raise the energy of the room: constructive under pressure, assume good intent, and help people around you improve
• Sharp prioritization to juggle multiple projects while knowing what matters most this week

• With a small team size, work across the entire product from early concept through what ships, helping define what gets built next
