About the Role

Interested in future Product Designer roles?

If you're a product designer who feels inspired by our mission and believe you have a lot to contribute to Elicit, fill out the form below to let us know! 

While we're not actively hiring for open Product Design roles today, we're happy to review your submission and reach out when a relevant role opens up, if there seems like a good fit.

About you• You have a POV on what AI apps often miss. What is it? 

• You’re ok with a smaller design team who works with less process, more overlaps, a broader remit, and a relentless but pragmatic pursuit of impact. 

• You’re comfortable doing your own user research, and you’re adept at unpacking customer needs.

• You’re ok with lots of pragmatic feature definition as well as big picture thinking. All the nits and gore and glamor that comes with a small team and early stage product. 

• You enjoy operating from start to finish. Also comfortable operating initially from higher levels of ambiguity and driving decisions from there.

• You want to pursue harder interaction and product design problems, meaning more specific user needs than your typical SaaS productivity tool. 

• You like to bear hug hard problems like how to improve analysis and synthesis, how to make compelling arguments, and how our tools shape the way we think. And while you love a good “tools for thought” post, you love shipping even more. 

Interested? Reach out using the prompt below — introduce yourself, and consider telling us a bit about your experience with any of the above. Portfolios can be a huge overhead to produce, so send it if you’ve got it, but don’t let that stop you otherwise.

We don’t have specific experience requirements, other than that you’ve worked as a product designer in the past. 

If it seems like there’s potentially a good fit, we’ll reach out and have a chat.
