About The Position

Raylu is hiring a Product Designer to shape how private-market investors find and act on relevant deals. The designer will work closely with Product, Engineering, Sales, and Growth on an early-stage team that ships weekly, learns from customers, and adapts plans as needed. The product serves investors working with dense information, including market maps, company signals, research, and outreach; the goal is to make these workflows simple, fast, and trustworthy. The role spans the full product, from early concepts through shipped work, and includes helping determine what the team builds next. The designer will own work end to end: clarifying problems, producing designs and prototypes, collaborating with engineering, launching and measuring outcomes, conducting user research, and developing a shared design system. The first 90 days include learning the product and users, shipping an early improvement, improving a core workflow and design-system foundations, and leading a major feature from concept to launch while proposing design priorities for the following quarter. Raylu describes itself as an AI origination engine purpose-built for Growth Equity and PE. Its capabilities include real-time market maps aligned to investment theses, enriched company signals and benchmarks, contextual research on emerging companies, and automated outreach in a fund’s voice. The company offers a small, mission-focused team, broad scope, fast shipping, and direct collaboration with product, data, and leadership.

Requirements

Startup product design experience.
Work demonstrating a product design process from problem through shipped result.
Systems thinking and experience tackling open-ended problems, rather than only one-off feature flows.
Strong craft and judgment, with attention to polish and detail as well as the ability to work scrappily when appropriate.
Ability and instinct to prototype interactions quickly using AI tools, Figma, or code.
Clear communication and ability to explain tradeoffs and make ideas understood by engineers, founders, and customers.
Bias toward action: identify problems, propose solutions, ship, and measure progress by what launches.
Resilience in response to tough feedback, canceled ideas, and changing plans.
Low ego, high standards, openness to critique, and focus on the best idea.
Constructive approach under pressure and ability to raise the energy of the team.
Sharp prioritization and ability to manage several projects at once.
Curiosity and ability to learn finance quickly; prior finance knowledge is not required.

Collaborate closely with engineering on technical constraints, implementation decisions, and product polish.
Conduct ongoing user interviews and usability tests with investors, synthesize findings, and help shape the roadmap.

Prioritize work and drive it forward independently.
During the first 30 days, learn the product and users, join customer calls, interview investors, audit the experience, and ship an improvement within the first two weeks.
During days 31–60, continue shipping meaningful improvements to a core workflow and develop the foundations of a shared design system.
During days 61–90, lead design for a major new feature from concept to launch and propose design priorities for the next quarter.
