About The Position

Qualitate is building an AI-native primary intelligence platform for enterprises, investment firms, and asset managers. Its platform automates the primary research workflow, from study design and expert recruitment through AI-moderated interviews and insight synthesis. The company’s AI Moderator conducts expert discussions at scale, and the platform turns interviews into quantified, time-series outputs covering more than 10,000 public and private companies. The Product Designer will shape how organizations conduct research, explore evidence, and make decisions with AI. The role calls for strong interaction design, visual craft, and product judgment to make complex information and workflows clear and trustworthy. The designer will work with product, engineering, and design teammates from early exploration through launch and iteration, and help develop the patterns, prototypes, and research practices that support Qualitate’s vision for continuous intelligence. This is a full-time, in-person role in New York City. Compensation includes a base salary of $150,000–$180,000 and a meaningful early-stage equity grant. Benefits include health coverage, flexible PTO, and paid holidays.

Requirements

At least 5 years of product design experience.
A portfolio demonstrating contributions to shipped commercial products, the decisions behind the work, and lessons learned.
Strong interaction and visual design craft, including the ability to make complex workflows approachable and carry designs through detailed interactions, product states, and visual execution.
Experience designing B2B or enterprise software and understanding how roles, information needs, and organizational constraints affect product experiences.
Independent product judgment: ability to frame ambiguous problems, explore approaches, and help decide what is worth building.
Proficiency in Figma and practical prototyping skills.
Familiarity with AI-assisted tools such as Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, or v0.
Ability to use research, customer feedback, and product data to inform decisions and improve work after launch.
Clear communication and collaboration skills, including explaining ideas and tradeoffs through words, flows, and prototypes, welcoming feedback, and working closely with teammates.
High standards for craft, strong product judgment, and an entrepreneurial, collaborative mindset.
