Join our growing team of highly collaborative, ambitious, and forward-thinking Fountaineers as we empower our hundreds of customers and millions of frontline workers around the world.

Let’s elevate frontline work together.

We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer who thrives in complexity, embraces ambiguity, and turns it into clarity. You’ll own end-to-end design for Fountain's CRM product: from research and ideation to polished, production-ready designs, to iterating post-release.

This role requires balancing user needs, business objectives, and technical feasibility to create a category-defining CRM that delivers measurable impact.

This role partners with our Design team, Product Managers, Engineering, CS, and Data teams to deliver compelling, user-driven product experiences. You will also work closely with Fountain's AI product surfaces, including our Cue agentic system, and are expected to both design for AI-driven experiences and leverage AI tools as part of your own design process.

This role is fully remote and requires 6+ hours overlap with US Pacific Time.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Lead the design of Fountain’s CRM product, from discovery through delivery
• Design agentic-first experiences that reduce recruiter workload, surface the right talent intelligence at the right moment, and drive measurable hiring outcomes
• Translate complex workflows and data into intuitive, elegant user experiences
• Conduct user research to deeply understand user needs and validate solutions
• Understand the distinct goals, mental models, and workflows of different user types (applicants, recruiters, and admins)
• Partner closely with product managers and engineers to deliver intuitive, user-centered product experiences and ship impactful features at high velocity
• Work in rapid, iterative cycles—from problem framing to polished design—to accelerate learning and delivery without compromising quality
• Bring clarity to ambiguous problems through structured thinking and strong problem-solving skills
• Communicate ideas with precision and influence through storytelling, prototypes, and data-driven rationale
• Contribute to high-quality UI and UX design system patterns for consistency and scalability
  
  

What You Should Bring:

• 5+ years of product design experience in high-complexity B2B SaaS, with a portfolio showcasing user-focused problem solving and elegant product solutions
• Exceptional interaction design and visual craft— you have a strong command of visual design as well as usability best practices, and you apply design principles and patterns with intention to produce consistent, high-quality work.
• Expert-level proficiency in design tooling— currently Figma, with strong AI fluency across tools such as Claude that help you move fast without sacrificing quality.
• Experience in user research and validation—you effectively lead discovery in ambiguous spaces to uncover real user needs and translate findings into clear product direction.
• Strong sense of ownership—you advocate for design excellence and challenge assumptions. You are able to balance user needs with business goals and technical constraints
• Exceptional communication skills—you can explain the “why” behind your decisions and advocate for design quality
• Time zone flexibility—6+ hours overlap with US Pacific Time
  
  

Nice to Have:

• Experience working with talent acquisition or CRM platforms.
• Experience building AI-readable design systems
