About The Position

Basis is seeking a Product Designer to shape how people and AI agents work together in accounting software. The role involves designing both the interfaces accountants use and the UI primitives agents use to assemble, edit, and explain interfaces. The designer will envision future product experiences and advance them through iterative prototypes and releases. The role is based in Basis’s Flatiron, NYC office and is in-person five days a week. The designer will collaborate closely with founders, engineers, accountants, and product design colleagues; spend time performing accounting work to understand users; and turn insights about accounting and LLM capabilities into product decisions.

Requirements

Four to eight years of experience designing complex SaaS or AI tooling, with at least one 0-to-1 launch; extraordinary candidates with fewer years may be considered.
Ability to reason from first principles and solve problems without legacy bias.
Experience prototyping with LLMs and ability to explain how they change UX.
Frequent use of AI for work such as learning, brainstorming, writing, and research.
Willingness to work in person in NYC five days a week.
Ability to learn new domains and technologies quickly.
Comfort sketching flows live with engineers and independently polishing interactions.
Ability to make decisions autonomously and own a problem space end to end.
Interest in a high-intensity culture, high-upside equity, and broad ownership.
