About The Position

Basis is hiring a Product Designer to help shape interfaces for AI agents that perform complex, end-to-end accounting work. The role focuses on designing how people and agents collaborate, including both the screens accountants use and the underlying UI primitives agents can use to assemble and explain those screens. The designer will envision future product experiences and develop them through iterative prototypes and releases. The position is based in Basis’s Flatiron office in New York City, with an in-person, five-days-a-week team culture. The designer will work closely with founders, engineers, accountants, and product design colleagues; spend time performing accounting work in Basis to understand users; and turn learning about accounting and AI into product decisions.

Ability to learn new domains and technologies quickly.
