Product Designer

At CloudX we’re building a new supply-side advertising platform for mobile publishers. We’re convinced that an AI-native product will significantly advance the state of the art in mobile advertising. We recently raised a $30M Series A to bring this vision to life.

Our founding team previously built MoPub (acquired by Twitter for $350M) and MAX (acquired by AppLovin). Our platform combines verifiably fair auctions with an AI-native product experience to give publishers unprecedented control over their monetization strategy.

Our Product and Design team is small, distributed, and remote. We have a strong ownership culture and are heavily collaborative, relying primarily on asynchronous, written communication for coordination. We work in close partnership with Engineering and GTM to make sure we’re building the right things, and we optimize for rapid iteration: ship, learn from customers, refine. Everyone has access to the latest AI tools, but rather than generating vibe-slop we use them pragmatically to prototype faster and explore more. As one of our first few design hires, you’ll have significant influence over both the product and the design culture we build around it.

We’re looking for a Product Designer who thrives in ambiguity and enjoys solving complex problems through thoughtful, user-centered design. You’ll work closely with our Product, Engineering, and GTM to turn sophisticated advertising technology into intuitive workflows. Your key responsibilities will be:

• Design ownership: own the design process end to end, from discovery and research through implementation to iteration, conducting user research, customer interviews, and usability testing to understand user needs and validate design decisions.
• Product craft: translate complex product requirements into intuitive, elegant user experiences, and bring cohesion to surfaces beyond just the web app.
• Continuous improvement: design standards for consistency across all of our product surfaces, including our design language and components, as well as frameworks for AI assisted development.
• GTM design: partner with Marketing and Product on go-to-market execution.

We encourage you to apply if you meet these requirements:

• Product design experience: you have 4+ years designing SaaS products, with a strong portfolio of end-to-end work across complex workflows.
• Research-to-ship range: you’re comfortable taking work all the way from user research to final, production-ready implementation and even a social post.
• Craft: you have a strong command of interaction design, visual design, information architecture, and usability principles, with exceptional attention to detail.
• Strong communication: you articulate design decisions clearly to product, engineering, and leadership, and you actively invite feedback and critique on work in progress.
• Strategic sense: you connect long-term user needs to near-term product decisions.
• AI forward: you’re proficient with Figma and modern AI prototyping tools, and you use AI pragmatically to prototype, test, and ship faster, without sacrificing design consistency or accessibility.
• Early-stage mentality: you balance user needs, business goals, and technical constraints, take initiative, embrace accountability, and enjoy building products from the ground up in a fast-paced environment.

While not required, we’re particularly interested in candidates with:

• B2B SaaS experience: you’ve designed B2B SaaS products in early-stage startup environments, and understand the nuances of self serve funnel optimization.
• Data-heavy products: you’re familiar with analytics platforms or developer tools.
• Technical fluency: you’re fluent in technical constraints and collaborate closely and confidently with Engineering.
• AI product experience: you’ve designed AI-powered products or workflows, and have built design systems or frameworks for AI-assisted development.

In general, we’re looking for people with curiosity, craft, and a willingness to challenge assumptions. If you’re not sure this role is an exact fit, we encourage you to apply anyway. Many members of our team have had interesting career paths, and we relish the chance to work with extraordinary individuals.

• Competitive salary plus meaningful equity.
• Comprehensive benefits package.
• Flexible remote work.
• Opportunity to help shape the design culture of an early-stage company.
• Direct collaboration with experienced founders who have previously built category-defining ad tech platforms.
• Significant ownership and influence over the future of CloudX’s product experience.
