Founding Product Designer

AI becomes valuable when people trust it with meaningful work. You will shape how that trust feels: from the first workflow to the moment a senior professional decides Hive can take on more.

This is not a “make it pretty” role. You will shape the product, the system and the standard for how thoughtful, governed AI should work.

• Own product design from early problem to shipped experience: flows, prototypes, interaction patterns and the system behind them.
• Design approvals, explanations, receipts and autonomy levels that make AI feel clear, useful and in control.
• Spend time with design partners and see real teams use what you build.
• Create and evolve the design system that helps a small, fast team move brilliantly.
• Help shape Hive's brand where product and brand meet.

• 4+ years of experience designing and shipping high-quality B2B SaaS, enterprise or workflow-heavy products.
• An outstanding portfolio that shows both strategic thinking and exceptional visual craft.
• A degree in Product Design, Interaction Design, Human-Computer Interaction, Graphic Design or a related discipline. A Master's degree is a plus.
• Strong systems thinking. You can design the state machine and the pixel.
• You prototype to learn and decide, not just to present.

We are building something ambitious with a small, high-energy team, and everyone has a real seat at the table. We move quickly, care about doing great work and give people the trust and space to make things happen.

There is little hierarchy, no endless approval loops and plenty of room for good ideas, healthy debate and laughter along the way. We work closely, learn fast and celebrate the wins, big and small.

• Build something meaningful, together. Work with smart, kind people who care about doing great things and enjoy the ride along the way.
• Real ownership. Your work shapes the product from day one, and you will have the trust to make meaningful decisions.
• Work that goes live. Build for real firms using Hive on real workflows, not a demo graveyard.
• Exceptional tools. Frontier models, great tooling and the freedom to use what helps you do your best work.
• A front-row seat. Early hires help define the product, culture and company. As Hive grows, so does your scope.
