Product Designer

Job description

We’re seeking exceptional and experienced product designers to help shape KYP for it’s next phase of international growth. You won’t just join a team, you’ll help shape one. You’ll lead projects and agents end-to-end, collaborating closely within a small, talented and multi disciplinary team. We’re building something entirely new, discovering how to build better products at the forefront of AI, enabling every construction company to Build Better. We can move fast as we build our team and way of working from scratch, learn faster and redefine how product, design and engineering best practices evolve with AI. We expect a broad range of design skills, and exceptional ability to translate a vision into intuitive product experiences. **Why KYP?** At KYP, we believe that Construction can Build Better. That might sound obvious, yet in daily practice it’s far from the standard. And it starts with a basic attitude: to Keep Your Promise, which our customers came to call KYPing. Make promises you can keep, and do everything to keep the promises you make. A simple principle, yet so often out of reach. By KYPing, we create more time for what matters most, whether that's chasing bigger ambitions, or being home on time for family. With KYP, Time Is Yours. Promises can be kept when priorities are clear. That’s why we are building the Priority Solution for Construction. From design to approval to realisation, we make priorities visible through transparent information, so everyone knows what's been promised, what needs to happen, and who needs to act. That’s how we help customers turn their ideas and expectations into clear goals and shared ambitions on any construction project. Every day, tens of thousands of people rely on KYP for the success of their projects, in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, and increasingly worldwide. In the Netherlands, 92% of the top 50 largest construction companies build with KYP. So if you're here, there's a great chance that a project in your neighbourhood is being built with KYP right now. How cool is that? We believe that the future of Construction is self-organising: a seamless collaboration between all stakeholders and participants around shared project ambitions, whether human, agent or robot, wherever in the world. We call what makes this possible Construction Intelligence (CI). Built on data from thousands of KYP projects, CI helps our customers with KYPing so they make better decisions and act proactively, creating value for everyone involved. As a result, anyone can turn a project ambition into reality. That's why our mission is that by 2030, everyone knows what KYPing means. **What you’ll be responsible for** In one sentence: designing KYP into the simplest, most enjoyable, most proactive software for anyone who wants to Build Better in Construction. Which means that you: - Set the standard for design quality, and shape how design thinking works at KYP. - Discover how interactions with an intelligent product should work in construction, whether it’s for agents, robots or the people on the construction site or in the office. - Discover how to translate your design standards into something agents can perform reliably and consistently, and build the processes behind it, from setup to training to review. - Own design projects from scope to delivery, working closely with research and engineering team members and their agents. - Build and evolve the design system that keeps KYP consistent and scalable as it grows. - Craft detailed user flows and high-fidelity prototypes directly into the product environment using realistic data. - Get hands-on with any design assets to get the job done. **What we're looking for** In short: we're looking for someone with a track record of exceptional design work and a relentless curiosity to be better. Someone who questions how things have always been done, brings a no-ego, beginner's mindset with a strong bias towards action. Who also believes the best work happens when people with different kinds of expertise come together around a shared ambition. If that's you, you'll do great at KYP. On your expertise, that means: - You've worked on design in a high-performing, fast-paced technology environment - Your portfolio shows product design work users loved, shipped in high-velocity teams - You turn complicated user journeys into intuitive experiences - You prototype quickly, with a sharp eye for visual communication - You're fluent with design systems and how they're built in code - You have a deep grasp of visual design, UI patterns, and interaction principles and attitude to question those to design for agents - You ship fast and learn faster, always looking how to make it better - Bonus: you have independently shipped designs to production with the help of agents - Bonus: experience designing AI-native products **Why join KYP now?** Over the next 6-12 months, we expect teams will figure out how to design, engineer and deliver real results to customers orders of magnitude faster. This goes much further than generating design and code faster. It starts by rethinking the processes and assumptions behind how product, design and engineering gets done in the first place. So we're building a new team to do exactly that, from the ground up. By joining KYP now, you'll be one of the first to build that new way of working with a small team, backed by a proven brand and platform which tens of thousands of people already rely on every day. Here you get the freedom of a blank page and the impact of scale at once. This is the team that will shape KYP's next phase of international growth, alongside our sales and marketing team, and you'd be one of the first to define how that happens. If that excites you, we'd love to hear from you. **How we hire** 1. Fill in a short form after which we plan an initial exploratory call 2. We’ll invite you to our demo product environment with a quick assignment asking you to present your ideas to make it better 3. Join us for a round of interviews to discuss your best work and core motivation 4. Join us for a trial day of work on-site. We’ll want to see how you tick, you get to meet the team and explore whether joining KYP feels right for you
