About The Position

As a Founding Designer at Metriport, you'll spend your time understanding customer workflows, defining the right solution to those problems, and making sure everything we ship — product, marketing, brand — looks and feels right. The upside is real autonomy: you set the design standard, you own the output, and you're not waiting on anyone else's approval. The tradeoff is that the scope is wide and the bar is high. If that sounds like too much, it probably is. If it sounds like exactly enough, keep reading.
At Metriport we think of design like a rough-hewn yet elegant table: does its job, looks right in the room, built to last, and finished. You'll bring that sensibility to everything — knowing when a decision needs more thought and when it needs to ship.
We strongly believe in the 80/20 rule, and rely on everyone joining our team to use it so that we can ship fast and continue to delight our users.

Requirements

• Design instincts: You produce Figma work that is considered and defensible — with clear opinions on typography, hierarchy, and interaction patterns.
• Pragmatism: You know what to polish and what to ship. You walk the tightrope between craft and speed without falling off either side.
• Technical literacy: You know enough about how software gets built to write specs engineers can use and have real tradeoff conversations.
• The "Metriport" Mindset: Low ego, high ownership. You ask "Why can't this be done in 3 days?" instead of 3 weeks.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain the design system Establish a coherent design language — components, spacing, typography, color — that is simple and that engineers can build to without hand-holding.
• Design features end to end Take features from rough concept to detailed spec, working closely with founders, PM, and engineers to ship solutions that are functional and feel considered.
• Talk to, and advocate for, users Understand their workflows, form an opinionated view on the right solution, and drive toward it.
• Own brand and marketing design Design across all marketing surfaces — website, sales collateral, event materials. You're the person we turn to when anything needs to look good.
