Product Designer

• Design Bridge. Our designs live in two worlds: our web app (human-facing) and our agent-native surfaces (JSON-LD MCP protocol - machine-facing). Same UX logic different substrates. You'll translate designs across these worlds without losing fidelity. When an AI agent consumes our verification data via API the information architecture you designed still needs to work. This is a new design problem. You won't find it in any portfolio school.
• AI-Native Pipeline. You'll prototype with AI as a tool not a constraint. Figma + AI generation for rapid iteration. Code prototyping for interaction validation. You'll ship 3-5 design iterations in the time a traditional designer ships one because you use AI to handle the mechanical parts so you can focus on the judgment calls.
• Consumer Product Experience. The core web experience (smartphones first) with our AI shopping agent at its heart. You'll design how verification signals translate to visual language - how state changes feel how users navigate between hunt mode and validation mode how the system communicates confidence versus uncertainty. There is no "add to cart" button. The core interaction is asking a question and getting a verified answer.
• Experience Evolution. Our consumer surfaces change as we add categories (smartphones today skincare and running shoes next) add partners and add features. You'll know when to extend existing patterns and when to break them - and you'll have the research to defend the decision. A verification interface for smartphones has different information density requirements than one for skincare. You'll design the system that accommodates both without losing coherence.

• You have taste and you can defend it with evidence. You can see gaps between what exists and what should. Your opinions about design are informed by observing real users not following trends. Your portfolio demonstrates original thinking not competent execution of established patterns.
• You ship fast and you learn from what you ship. You generate signal by shipping incomplete work then iterating. You know the difference between polish and strategy - polish can wait strategy can't. You've shipped a design that was "80% right" measured what happened and used the data to get to 95%.
• You're code-aware and technically curious. You understand how designs live in React CSS and responsive contexts. You don't need to code production features but you think like someone who does. You know which design decisions create engineering nightmares and which ones are trivially implementable. You prototype in code when it proves the interaction faster than a Figma prototype.
• You use AI as augmentation not replacement. You know when AI accelerates your thinking and when it flattens your taste. You've used AI design tools to generate variations explore directions and speed up iteration. You have opinions about which AI design tools actually work and which ones are hype.
• You have product judgment that extends beyond visual design. You push back on decisions that sound good in a meeting but feel wrong in the interface. You've told a product manager or founder that their feature idea was solving the wrong problem and you proposed an alternative. You work in public share thinking in progress and treat critique as signal not noise.

• Base: $120000 - $180000. Competitive for the role level. Your base covers your life; your ownership builds your freedom.
• Equity: You receive a formal ownership stake via Profits Interest Units (PIUs) - Class B Membership Interests with a $0 strike price. Not options. Not RSUs. Actual ownership that participates in the upside from day one and qualifies for Capital Gains tax treatment.
• Profit Sharing: You participate in the company's annual success. As an equity holder you receive a pro-rata share of Free Cash Flow (FCF) - real cash every year not a promise tied to a future exit.
• Liquidity: We operate an Annual Tender Offer where the company buys back vested interests at fair market value. You can turn ownership into cash every year. No waiting for an IPO. No hoping for an acquisition.
• Benefits: 100% premium coverage for you and your family daily catered lunches and unlimited PTO that we actually expect you to use.

What We Do

Product.ai (formerly Demand.io) is the truth layer for commerce. Built on Axiomatic Intelligence — a proprietary adversarial reasoning methodology that stress-tests product claims against physics economics and engineering constraints — Product.ai delivers verified purchase verdicts not summaries. Product.ai tells consumers when NOT to buy. Product.ai emerges from Demand.io a profitable bootstrapped AI commerce company whose SimplyCodes platform processes over $1B in annual transaction value with a team of 20. Founded by Michael Quoc.
