Job Description:
PRODUCT DESIGNER
Full-Time · Hybrid (3 days / week in the San-Francisco Bay Area)
ABOUT US
Aida is a seed-stage, stealth AI startup cofounded by Piyush Prahladka (Co-Founder @ Glean, ex-Uber, ex-Google) and Atish Das Sarma (former AI/ML Engineering Leader @ Apple, Patreon, Twitter). Our mission is to re-imagine how sales teams work by turning today’s labyrinth of sales tools into one intuitive, AI-native workspace.
ROLE SUMMARY
As a Product Designer at Aida, you’ll own the end-to-end design of customer-facing features—from early concept to pixel-perfect hand-off—and lay the foundation of the design system that will scale with us. You will collaborate closely with product, engineering, and GTM leaders to translate complex AI workflows into experiences that feel effortless and trustworthy.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Discover & define user problems through interviews, shadowing, and data synthesis.
- Design holistic flows (journey maps, wireframes, hi-fi comps, micro-interactions) for web and, eventually, mobile surfaces.
- Prototype & test rapidly—low-fi to hi-fi—to validate ideas with real sellers before engineering sprint.
- Partner cross-functionally with PMs & engineers to scope, iterate, and ship; balance craft with velocity.
- Track outcomes using product analytics and qualitative feedback; iterate to improve adoption and task-time KPIs.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
- 4 + years of product/UX design for SaaS or data-heavy applications.
- Portfolio demonstrating shipped work that simplifies complex workflows.
- Fluency with Figma (or equivalent) and modern prototyping tools.
- Working knowledge of design for AI-driven features (explainability, trust, corrective flows).
- Strong communication skills; comfortable presenting trade-offs to executives and engineers alike.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Experience designing tools for sales, RevOps, or CRM domains.
- Familiarity with front-end technologies, and ability to converse deeply with engineers.
- Track record of founding or early start-up tenure where you built v1 products under ambiguity.
