About The Position

Quotient is seeking its first designer to own design across the company, spanning product and brand. The role has significant influence over the product and brand as they are built from the ground up. The primary focus is product design: collaborating closely with engineering to design interfaces and user flows for a complex, highly interactive application, creating mockups and prototypes for new features, and helping establish a coherent design system. The designer will also own brand design across the marketing website, documentation, social media assets, and other materials that shape how Quotient presents itself. The role reports to the CTO and works directly with the founding team. It is initially focused on individual contribution, with the possibility of growing into design leadership as the company scales. Quotient is a six-person, seed-funded team based in New York.

Requirements

At least 3 years of product design experience, including work on complex, interactive applications.

Experience with prototyping, animation, and motion design.
Clear communication skills and a collaborative approach to working with engineers and product.

Nice To Haves

Front-end development experience, or comfort using AI tools such as Cursor or v0 to build and prototype.
Experience at an early-stage startup, especially as a founding or solo designer.
A background in B2B or enterprise software.
