Product Designer (PT Contract Position)

##### **About the Team** The Inside Real Estate Product Design team is a small, high-leverage team that operates at the intersection of product design, design systems, and AI-assisted workflows, using AI agents to scale our output as new surfaces come online. AI is a structural part of how we design and build, from day-to-day production to quality review. ##### **The Role** We're looking for a Product Designer who can own end-to-end interface design for our core products. You'll do the hands-on work: interaction design, prototyping, component design, and quality oversight as features ship, while also helping shape and refine the design system that increasingly guides both human and AI-generated output. This is a high-ownership role on a lean team, with real influence over the patterns, tools, and standards we establish from day one. ##### **What You'll Do** * **Drive product design** for the Inside Real Estate family of products: interface design, interaction patterns, prototyping, and design quality as features move from concept to ship. * **Design within and extend the design system**, using our component library as the source of truth, and helping evolve it as new patterns emerge. * **Partner closely with PMs and engineers** on standard feature work (briefed requests, clear scope, fast turnaround) and on larger zero-to-one initiatives (early, exploratory, iterative). * **Review and refine AI-generated design output**: our design generation agent produces first-pass, library-compliant mockups for BAU work; you'll review, refine, and approve before handoff. * **Bring craft to AI-native product experiences**, designing conversational UI patterns, trust-building details, and progressive disclosure that make AI feel like a knowledgeable advisor. * **Participate in customer listening**, sitting in on customer calls, running usability checks on prototypes, and feeding signals back into design decisions. * **Help maintain design system documentation** and flag component gaps as you encounter them. ##### **What We're Looking For** * 3–5+ years of product design experience, ideally in B2B SaaS or a fast-moving product org. * A strong portfolio showing end-to-end craft: interaction design, prototyping, and shipped, real-world work. * Comfort designing within (and contributing to) an established design system on a day-to-day basis. * Experience with modern design tooling (Figma or equivalent); openness to working alongside AI design agents as part of the workflow. * Ability to work with both tight, well-scoped briefs and ambiguous, early-stage problems, and to know which mode a given request calls for. * Strong prototyping skills: comfortable making ideas tangible quickly for reviews and user testing. * A collaborative, low-ego approach to working with PMs, engineers, and design leadership on a small team where everyone's working closely together. ##### **Nice to Have** * Experience designing conversational or AI-assisted interfaces. * Experience in real estate, proptech, or another vertical SaaS space. * Familiarity with design QA/audit workflows (reviewing shipped work against a design system). Position Details: This is a part time contract position that will be around 20 hours per week.
