Role

As a Senior Product Designer at BoldVoice, you will partner with our existing designer and the CEO to design our core product end to end, from concept to wireframe to polished, shipped UI. You will own meaningful surfaces of the app, drive your own research and prototyping, and turn ambiguous problems into features in the hands of users. This is a senior IC role on a small design team: we expect you to run with problems, raise the craft bar, and ship fast.

Who you are

• A talented product designer with deep experience shipping mobile consumer apps
• User-obsessed with a passion for understanding and solving the user problem
• Hypothesis-driven: every design decision ties to a metric (trial start, trial to subscriber, retention), and is pressure-tested
• You prototype fast (Figma, code, AI tools) and iterate based on user behavior, not just opinions
• You sweat the details and fight for what drives the best experience for our users
• You have an ownership mindset and care about driving results for the users and the company
• You ship quickly, balancing craft with the cadence of an early-stage, fast-moving startup

Requirements

• 6+ years as a product designer, with at least 2 in a senior or lead role at a high-growth consumer app or startup.
• A portfolio of consumer mobile apps you have shipped and iterated on, ideally with measurable impact on key metrics.
• Comfort designing alongside AI/ML capabilities (voice, speech, LLMs).
• Strong product instincts: you can articulate why a flow will perform and back it with reasoning.
• Operationally sharp: you can drive multiple workstreams in parallel while staying very hands-on in execution.
• Startup-native mindset: scrappy, fast, resourceful, and motivated by shipped impact.
• Based in New York or willing to relocate

Compensation & Perks

• Competitive salary commensurate with experience
• Meaningful equity: real ownership in a fast-growing, mission-driven company
• A+ Team: Join a small and mighty team (part of the tiny teams hall of fame) where your work has immediate impact
• Mission: Empower millions of immigrants and non-native speakers to speak English with confidence
