Senior Product Designer

About Aldea

Aldea is a multi-modal foundational AI company reimagining the scaling laws of intelligence. We believe today's architectures create unnecessary bottlenecks for the evolution of software. Our mission is to build the next generation of foundational models that power a more expressive, contextual, and intelligent human–machine interface

About the Role

We’re hiring a Senior Product Designer to lead end-to-end product design for developers and enterprise clients — from early concepts to polished experiences for our Voice AI and API platform. You’ll combine strong interaction and visual design skills with practical user research to ensure what we ship is intuitive, usable, and solves real user problems.

This is an early-stage environment: high agency, evolving processes, rapid iteration, and meaningful ownership. You’ll partner closely with Product, Engineering, and end users to explore problem spaces, validate direction, and ship clarity into complex workflows.

What You’ll Do

• Design end-to-end Voice AI and API platform product experiences for developers and B2B customers, bringing clarity through flows, prototypes, narrative framing, and production-ready UI.
• Conduct lightweight user research (discovery, interviews, usability testing, concept validation) to inform direction.
• Move quickly: sketch → prototype → validate → iterate → ship.
• Partner with users, Product, and Engineering to define problems, shape solutions, and support successful implementation.
• Establish early design systems and reusable patterns to drive consistency and velocity.
• Communicate design decisions clearly, directly, and with respect for technical constraints.

What You Bring

• Highly creative design skills with 5+ years of experience in product/UX design for software, preferably in developer tools.
• Comfort designing in ambiguity; able to self-direct and make progress with imperfect information.
• Proficiency with Figma and rapid prototyping tools.
• Strong communication skills — clear, direct, warm, and able to advocate without ego.

• Early-stage startup experience preferred.

Aldea’s Values

1. Aggressively Innovative: We believe that innovation requires challenging even base assumptions, and we differentiate by experimenting where others assume all questions have been answered.
2. Intellectual Humility: We speak up when clarity is missing. We ask questions, seek understanding, and challenge assumptions without ego.
3. Conscientious Conflict: Disagreement is encouraged and always considerate. We challenge ideas, not people, and debate with the goal of strengthening the work.
4. Ownership & Follow-through: We own the outcomes of our work. We finish what we start. Documentation is concise, complete, and accurate. We deliver work that others can reliably pick up.
5. Plan to Build & Build to Plan: We anticipate challenges before they arise. We design intentionally, validate assumptions, and ensure the plan is solid before execution begins.

Success Looks Like

• Developer-first UX that simplifies complex workflows
• Prototype → Validate → Ship loops drive roadmap momentum
• Design patterns that accelerate engineering delivery
• Research that leads to clear prioritization and confident decisions
• A product that technical users say feels powerful and obvious

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive base salary
• Equity participation
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage
• Flexible paid time off
