Product Designer

About the role I'm a solo founder running a portfolio of six software companies (fintech, real estate, AI tools, marketing). Everything we build is AI-native — we use Claude, Claude Code, and modern AI tooling to move at 10x the speed of traditional teams. I do the ideation and product vision. I have engineers who handle the build. The missing piece is you. You're the layer between "Jonathan has an idea" and "engineers have a clear spec to build against." You turn rough concepts (or competitor platforms we're improving on) into thought-through, dev-ready products. This is not a pixel-pushing role. This is a product-thinking role with design as the output. What you'll own Take a PRD or product concept I've ideated and pressure-test it. Find the gaps, the edge cases, the flows I haven't thought through. Research existing platforms when we're cloning or improving on something. Map the feature set, reverse-engineer the UX, find what's broken about the incumbent. Design the full product — user flows, screens, interaction patterns, edge cases. Use Claude, Figma, v0, or whatever gets you to a great answer fastest. Hand off cleanly to engineering with a Loom walkthrough + written doc. The dev should never have to guess what you meant. You're a fit if You've shipped 0→1 products, ideally multiple You can reverse-engineer a platform by using it for an hour and tell me how it works and what's wrong with it You're fluent in AI design tools — Claude for ideation, Figma AI, v0, Lovable, whatever. You don't fear them; you exploit them. You think in systems. Several of my companies share backend infrastructure, and you'll need to think across products, not just within one. You write well. Async, clear, no fluff. You move fast. I'd rather ship a v1 this week than a "perfect" v1 next month. You're probably not a fit if You need a PM to write tickets for you You spend three weeks on the design system before shipping a screen You think credentials matter more than what you've shipped You can't operate without daily standups and Jira Tools you'll use Figma · Claude · Loom · Notion (or your equivalent) · whatever else makes you faster Logistics Location: Remote Type: Full-time Hours: Async-first. Some overlap with U.S. business hours expected. Start: ASAP
