This role involves working across the entire product, from AI coaching functionalities to team collaboration features, with a focus on delivering polished and well-thought-out user experiences on a weekly basis. The Product Designer will be an integral part of the product and engineering teams, contributing to problem definition as well as visual solutions. The ideal candidate is a few years into their career, has a track record of shipping products, and is eager to develop in a challenging environment.

Requirements

• 3–5 years of product design experience with a portfolio that demonstrates strong craft and end-to-end thinking
• Experience shipping product on a small team — you're comfortable owning a feature without heavy process or specialized support
• Solid grounding in interaction design, visual design, and information architecture
• Familiarity working with and contributing to a design system
• Comfortable working in fast cycles — you can make decisions with incomplete information and iterate based on what you learn
• Proficiency in Figma

Nice To Haves

• Experience designing conversational interfaces, chat products, or AI-powered experiences
• Exposure to enterprise SaaS or B2B products
• Interest in the intersection of AI, coaching, and human behavior

Responsibilities

• Design end-to-end features across Valence's core product — coaching flows, onboarding, dashboards, and team tooling — from concept through shipped
• Contribute to and maintain our design system, ensuring consistency and craft as the product scales
• Work closely with product and engineering in weekly cycles, translating requirements into clear interaction flows and high-fidelity designs
• Participate actively in design critiques, working sessions, and paired design work with senior teammates
• Write product copy and micro-interactions that make the experience feel polished and human
• Explore how AI can be integrated into user experiences in ways that feel intuitive, not gimmicky

Benefits

• Competitive salary including base + bonuses
• Comprehensive health coverage (medical, dental, vision) from day one
• Generous PTO, company-wide R&R shutdowns, and paid parental leave
• Retirement plan support for US and global employees
• Equity
• Meaningful ownership in a venture-backed company at a growth inflection point
