Product Designer

Job description

### **The Role** We're hiring Product Designers to help shape how enterprises understand, govern, and trust their AI agents. Geordie is building category-defining tooling for agent visibility, governance, and risk. The design challenge is real: AI agent behaviour is complex, often opaque, and the stakes for our customers are high. Our design team is small today; you'll report into our Head of Product Design and join two Product Designers. We have three development teams, growing to five, and we believe design works best embedded. You'll join one of those teams as its designer, working alongside its engineers and customers every day. Because we're still early, you'll also help set the foundation everything else is built on: the design language, the component library, and the patterns we use across the product. Our design team also looks after Geordie's brand, so you'll help shape how we show up beyond the product too, making sure brand and product feel like one coherent experience. Design here isn't a layer applied at the end. We ship multiple times a day, and we actively encourage designers to use AI agents to write code and get closer to the product. We don't have Product Managers; design and engineering partner directly to figure out what to build. Our engineers are deeply product-minded, close to customers, and want to solve the right problem rather than ship to spec. Together you'll define problems, shape scope, and own outcomes. If you've ever wanted to own something end to end, this is it. We also move fast. We ship multiple times a day, and we actively encourage designers to use AI agents to write code and get closer to the product. If you've ever wanted to own something end to end, this is it. ### **What You'll Do** Own the end-to-end design of core product experiences, from early concept through to shipped and iterated. Help build Geordie's design system with the rest of the design team; the tokens, components, patterns, and documentation that everyone relies on, shaped by what your team needs. Contribute to Geordie's brand; helping evolve our visual language, illustration, and assets so the product and brand tell one story. Lead customer discovery and research; running interviews, identifying patterns, and bringing customer insight into every design decision. Work directly with customers to test your thinking early and close the loop between insight and shipped product. Collaborate daily with engineers; pairing, reviewing, and increasingly using AI tools to prototype and contribute to the codebase yourself. Contribute to product direction: you will be in the room where decisions are made, not handed a spec to execute. Keep a strong point of view on what good design looks like in a security and governance product; clear, trustworthy, and built for expert users. ### **What We're Looking For** The most important thing is that you care deeply about customers and can move fast without losing quality. You are a strong practitioner; you can go from whiteboard to high-fidelity quickly, and you know when each is appropriate. You are comfortable with ambiguity. We are Series A, the product is evolving, and the domain of AI agent governance is genuinely new. You find that energising, not unsettling. You have strong opinions about design systems and component architecture, and experience building or significantly contributing to one. You can articulate why decisions were made and defend them clearly. You work well in a collaborative engineering culture. You are comfortable pair-designing with engineers, reviewing pull requests for design quality, and using AI tools to accelerate your own work. ### **Requirements** Significant experience as a product designer, with a portfolio that demonstrates complex UX problem-solving; not just polished visuals. Experience designing highly complex B2B SaaS products, including data visualisation and data-dense interfaces; you can turn large volumes of information into something expert users can understand and act on. Proven ability to work across the full design process: research, concept, detailed design, and handoff. Strong product thinking; you can define the problem, question the brief, and help decide what to build, not just how it should look. Strong communication and collaboration skills; you can align stakeholders, present work with clarity, and receive feedback well. Comfortable working in a fast-moving, iterative environment where requirements evolve quickly. ### **Nice to Haves** Experience designing for security, developer, or enterprise SaaS products. Familiarity with AI agent tooling, observability platforms, or data-dense interfaces. Experience contributing to a design system, including tokens, components, and documentation. Experience working on brand or visual identity, such as illustration, iconography, or marketing design. Experience writing code, even basic frontend, or using AI tools to prototype in the browser. Background working at an early-stage startup where you built things from scratch. ### **Why This Role** AI agents are changing how companies operate, and the question of how to govern them safely is only going to grow. Geordie is building the platform enterprises rely on to answer that question. You will join at a point where design is still being defined. There is no legacy system to work around, no established playbook to follow; just a hard problem, a sharp team, and a genuine opportunity to shape how a new category is understood. You will work with real customers, see the impact of your work quickly, and have the scope to grow as the company does. ### **Our Values** **Solve What Matters** We listen intently and stay focused on what truly matters to our customers. If it doesn't help them navigate real-world agentic adoption and risk, it's probably not worth building. **Build, Learn, Iterate** We favour momentum over perfection; testing, learning, and evolving through action. It's how we move fast and get better, together. **Kind, Not Comfortable** We're honest, respectful, and unafraid to challenge each other. We believe doing great work should feel good, too. Kindness makes that possible. **A Platform for Your Best Work** We want this to be the most meaningful chapter of your career. Geordie is the place where you grow, lead and lift others, while building something that truly matters.
