Founding Product / UX Builder

At candidate.fyi, we’re building the AI execution layer for hiring. Recruiting teams spend countless hours on manual coordination, outdated tools, and broken processes. Candidates often feel like an afterthought in the process, and we believe that’s broken too.

Our platform automates the hardest parts of interview coordination while also elevating the candidate experience — giving every candidate clarity, transparency, and a smoother journey. That’s why brands like Intercom, GoPro, Discord, and Automattic trust candidate.fyi to modernize their global interviewing operations.

We’re reimagining the infrastructure that powers how companies hire at scale and how candidates experience it, and we’d love for you to be a part of it.

This role is for a Founding Product / UX Builder to join our early team and work directly with the founder. It’s a unique opportunity to be at the ground floor of shaping the product and candidate experience.

You’ll support product workflows, craft clear specs, use AI tools daily to design and prototype interfaces, and ensure quality across everything we ship. This role blends product thinking, design intuition, and detail orientation — ideal for someone early in their career (1–3 years) who wants to grow fast in a startup environment.

You’ll have outsized ownership as our first product hire and the chance to carve your own path, whether into product management, design, or leadership as we scale.

The ideal candidate has one to three years of experience in a product or design-related role. You should have strong product sense, daily experience with AI tools such as ChatGPT or AI prototyping software, and an eye for usability and design. Figma experience is a plus, though not required. A detail-oriented and technical mindset, with comfort using tools, workflows, or APIs, is essential.

Why join candidate.fyi? You’ll be part of a fast-growing startup reshaping the future of hiring, with real opportunity for career growth. The team is remote-friendly with a preference for East Coast hours, and you’ll receive full health benefits while helping shape the product, culture, and company from the ground up.
