What are the responsibilities and job description for the Founding Product Designer position at Attention?
About Attention:
We’re looking for a founding product designer to join us at Attention.
At Attention, we’re building AI agents and automations that take the busywork out of sales so teams can focus on selling. We’re looking for a designer excited to define how people interact with AI, whether that’s designing simple and intuitive dashboards, next-gen interfaces for steering AI agents, or working on our mobile app. Most importantly we hope that you care about users as much as we do.
What you'll do:
- Own design across the product - from zero-to-one exploration to polished shipped experiences.
- Prototype - Figma, code, etc. We find it easier to communicate ideas with our design partners and clients when we have realistic demos on hand.
- Collaborate with engineers, founders, and our own sales team - this is a team where ideas can come from anywhere, and there’s no shortage of them.
- Turn messy AI behaviors into visible, intuitive, trustworthy interactions.
- Build on top of our component library and work with engineers to start fleshing out a more formalized design system as necessary.
- Work with marketing and growth to produce collateral that boosts Attention’s presence online and out in the world.
- Bring strong opinions (held loosely) about how and what we ship and design.
You might be a good fit if:
- You’ve designed for B2B - ideally at an early-stage startup or a high-velocity team.
- You’re comfortable getting hands-on in code or building interactive prototypes.
- You have a strong product sense and can move forward at different speeds to suit different projects’ needs.
- You want ownership of not only design, but product direction and process.
- You’re comfortable gathering requirements and resolving ambiguity on your own; asking the right questions and enough questions is a huge part of this role.
- You like being in the office and collaborating in person (we’re in-office 5 days a week at our office in Noho)
- You’re able to find impactful work to do on your own, whether that’s user interviews, coming up with new ideas, triaging the feature backlog, or pushing those little UI fixes that have been bothering you.
- We’re ideally looking for someone with 5 years of experience as a product designer - someone that has experience with design at scale and building teams. But please apply if you’re excited by the prospect of working at Attention, even if you don’t meet this bar. We’re always looking for talented people that will grow with us.
Bonus points if...
- You can convince our CEO to let dogs into the office
- You have strong opinions on the best office snacks
- You have experience with animation for marketing videos
- You love learning new tools and improving your own design processes - we’ll buy you any software you want to try
Why this role matters:
You’d be the one of the first product hires; you’ll have agency in shaping the product, culture, and team, but you’ll also have a team and founders to support you along the way; we’re all in this together, trying to create a company that redefines how sales teams operate. We move fast and reward good work. If you’re excited about shaping how people work with AI, we’d love to meet you.
