About The Position

Simile is seeking a Product Designer to join their Product & Design team. This role involves owning significant product surfaces end-to-end, focusing on making probabilistic concepts like populations, uncertainty, and confidence structurally sound and visually obvious for Fortune 100 executives. The designer will tackle 0-to-1 problems, define interaction models, make complexity legible by translating simulation outputs and confidence scores into understandable interfaces, and own information architecture, interaction models, and the overall aesthetic details of the product. Additionally, the role includes making front-end changes using AI tooling and engineering support, and evolving the design system to support a multi-product future.

Requirements

• 0-to-1 design experience: You have designed products or features without an obvious reference point: novel interaction paradigms, new categories, or problems where the right pattern had to be invented.
• Both visual and systems design: You are strong at high-craft visual design and at the underlying structure. We are not looking for someone who does one and delegates the other.
• Enterprise product experience: You have designed for enterprise customers and understand designing for expert users, high-stakes workflows, and complex data.
• Clarity of thought: You can explain why a design is right, take a position, and hold a high bar while moving quickly.

Nice To Haves

• Founding or early-startup experience.
• Experience designing for AI-native or agentic products.
• Experience designing data-dense interfaces such as analytics, research tools, or anything where the job is making complex information legible.
• An interest in the underlying science: behavioral research, social science, or how models of people actually work.

Responsibilities

• Design new surfaces from scratch, taking on 0-to-1 problems where there is no existing product category to reference.
• Define the interaction model rather than inherit one.
• Make complexity legible by turning simulation outputs, confidence scores, and population-level behavior into interfaces that enterprise decision-makers can read, trust, and act on.
• Move between systems and craft, owning information architecture, interaction models, edge cases, and how features compose with each other.
• Own the typography, motion, and detail that make a product feel considered.
• Ship code by making small-to-medium front-end changes yourself with AI tooling and engineering support.
• Evolve the design system to help scale from a single-product to a multi-product company.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation packages that include base salary, equity, and comprehensive benefits.
• Equity grants are available for eligible roles, subject to board approval.
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage.
• Flexible time off policies to support work-life balance.
