Description
Founding Brand Product Designer
Remote - United States
About The Team
A small, funded team inside Blackboard building a new consumer AI product from scratch. Executive backing, startup speed, and access to Blackboard's infrastructure and users.
How we run: small senior team, fast cycles, light process, designers and engineers and PMs working side by side.
How We Build
Subframe is how we ship UI to engineering across product, marketing, and the whole surface. Design lands in the codebase. No handoff, no mockups getting rebuilt later.
If you know auto layout in Figma, you already know how to use it. If there are other tools you want to bring in, tell us and we'll dig in together.
The Role
Founding designer for the product and the brand around it. Product design, brand, interaction, creative direction, user testing, and shipping front-end through Subframe.
You'll work with product and engineering across the product itself, marketing, onboarding, motion, the design system, and brand. Hands-on. You'll be making the work, not reviewing it.
What You'll Do
This is a 0 to 1 AI product. There's a designer already leading things and the work is underway, but it's early. You're here to design and build new features alongside them, not polish things at the edges. Build, ship, learn, repeat.
What We're Looking For
Nice to have: founding or early-stage experience, creative coding, front-end skills, prior Subframe experience, background in education, health, wellness, or behavior change.
Why this role
The expected salary range for this position is $127,200 - $145,000. The range reflects base salary only and does not include additional compensation such as company bonus or benefits. Placement within the pay range will depend on a variety of factors, such as experience, skills, internal parity, and location.
Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the country where the role is based at the time of hire and must maintain that authorization for the duration of employment. The company does not provide visa sponsorship or immigration support for this position.

- •Design and build new AI features end to end

- •Weigh in on product direction and priorities
- •Strong portfolio across product and brand, shipping things people like using
- •World-class visual craft, hands on the work yourself, with strong motion chops
- •Sharp product thinker who can hold your own on what should be built, not just how it looks

The early access thing actually works. Applied to a role at 6am, recruiter told me I was one of the first 10 applicants. That never happens on other sites

Been in the industry 12 years. This is the first job board that feels like it was made by someone who actually understands what designers are looking for. Simple as that.

Somehow every job here feels hand-picked? Like someone actually looked at it before posting. Rare for job boards these days.

Left my FAANG job last year. This site helped me find a fully remote role at a smaller company with way better work-life balance. No regrets
