Founding Product Designer (UI/UX)
About The Position
Lance (YC W26) builds autonomous AI agents that run hotel operations end-to-end, from answering guest calls to managing workflows across systems. They work with leading hotel groups across brands like Marriott, Hilton, and Hyatt, and are already deployed across 50+ properties in the U.S. Their agents don’t just assist, they execute. They integrate directly into existing hotel systems, make real-time decisions, and handle complex, multi-step operations. This role is for the Founding Product Designer to own the end-to-end user experience of AI agents and the platforms customers use to interact with them. The designer will be responsible for establishing the company's design language from the ground up, translating complex AI workflows into intuitive, elegant interfaces. This is a high-ownership role for a product-minded designer who wants to define the look, feel, and function of a category-defining product.
