Founding Product Designer

🧘 About BePresent

BePresent is solving one of the defining challenges of modern life: reclaiming human attention.

We help people take back their time and attention — their most valuable assets in life — so they can live more intentionally and focus on what actually matters.

Instead of punishing people for using their phones, we use psychology, gamification, and rewards to make staying off your phone just as addictive as being on it.

With just two of us, we’ve grown to over 1 million users and $2M ARR — becoming the fastest-growing company in this space and proving that digital wellbeing isn’t a niche, but a new category of health and wellness that we’re defining.

Now it’s time to design the next chapter, and the person leading that charge will be our Founding Product Designer.

🧑‍💻 About the Role

As our Founding Product Designer, you’ll shape how millions of people experience BePresent.

This isn’t a role where you just join a design team. You are the design team — for now. You’ll own the product’s feel, design language, and the brand identity that ties it all together.

You’ll work side by side with the founders every day in NYC, at Verci (https://www.verci.com/) — a community of world-class consumer builders, designers, and creatives.

It’s your job to think like a founder: uncovering user problems, turning insights into simple & elegant experiences, and designing features that drive real business outcomes. Your work will move the needle on retention, engagement, and revenue, blending craft with analytical thinking to spot opportunities and run continuous experiments.

If you’re ready to design the solution for the most important problem of our time — at the company leading the charge — then BePresent is the place for you.

🧠 You Will…

• Own product design end-to-end — from uncovering user insights to designing, prototyping, testing, and shipping new features that move metrics.
• Frame ambiguous ideas as testable hypotheses and design rapid experiments to validate them.
• Define success metrics for every major design initiative and review results post-launch.
• Discover user needs through research, data analysis, and competitor insights.
• Translate ideas into intuitive flows, prototypes, and high-fidelity UI/UX designs in Figma.
• Collaborate with engineering to ensure implementation quality and measure impact on product metrics.
• Continuously experiment, run A/B tests, and iterate to improve product retention, conversion, and engagement.
• Define and build BePresent’s visual and interaction design language — the foundation for how the product looks and feels.
• Collaborate directly with the founders on roadmap and product strategy, shaping how millions of people experience BePresent.

✅ What We’re Looking For

• Strong background in designing consumer mobile products, with a portfolio to back it up.
• 3–6 years of experience in product design (startup or fast-moving environment preferred).
• A founder mindset: you take extreme ownership and initiative, drive projects from idea to launch, and think in experiments.
• Endlessly curious and always learning: you dig deep to understand user behavior, explore new ideas, and stay on top of evolving tools, patterns, and technologies.
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity while maintaining clarity and momentum.
• Action-oriented and iterative: you move quickly, learn through testing, and ship frequently.
• Pragmatic: You balance product goals, speed, and polish.
• Analytical and data-informed: comfortable running A/B tests and using both quantitative and qualitative insights to guide design.
• Excellent visual and interaction design skills: you can make complex experiences feel simple, intuitive, and beautiful.
• Expert proficiency in Figma and familiarity with AI-assisted design tools.
• Collaborative and low ego: you build trust with engineers and founders and thrive in a small, tight-knit team.
• Entrepreneurial drive: motivated by ownership, with the potential to grow into a Product Lead or CPO role as the company scales.
• Bonus: Experience with gamification, behavioral design, or even front-end development.

💪 What We Offer

This is a rare opportunity to design a product already loved by millions, while still early enough to shape its DNA.

The Founding Product Designer will receive meaningful equity and the freedom to build from first principles.

This is a role for someone who wants to look back and say, “I helped define how a generation built a healthier relationship with technology.”

• Competitive base salary benefits, with significant equity upside
• $2M ARR and profitable growth — risk-level upside with de-risked traction
• A small, fast-moving team where decisions happen daily, not quarterly
• NYC-based office surrounded by top consumer builders at Verci
• Creative freedom and real impact: your work will immediately reach millions and shape how people use their phones
• Upward mobility: we want you to grow with us — potentially into CPO as BePresent scales
