Product Designer

Models are what they eat. A large portion of training compute is wasted on data that are already learned, irrelevant, or even harmful, leading to worse models that cost more to train and deploy. At DatologyAI, we’ve built a state-of-the-art data curation suite to automatically curate and optimize petabytes of data to create the best possible training data for your models. Training on curated data can dramatically reduce training time and cost (7-40x faster training depending on the use case), increase model performance as if you had trained on >10x more raw data without increasing cost, and allow smaller models with fewer than half the parameters to outperform larger models while using far less compute at inference time.

We’ve raised a total of $57.5M in two rounds (Seed and Series A) from investors including Felicis Ventures, Radical Ventures, Amplify Partners, Microsoft, Amazon, and AI visionaries like Geoff Hinton, Yann LeCun, Jeff Dean, and others. Our team has pioneered this frontier research area and combines deep expertise in both data research and data engineering to solve this challenging problem and make data curation accessible to anyone training their own model on their own data.

This role is based in Redwood City, CA, with an in-office requirement of 4 days a week.

About the Role

You’ll shape the way users experience our platform from the ground up. Our users are ML engineers and researchers running long, expensive, and technically dense workflows. Your job is to make these systems legible by designing configuration surfaces, telemetry, and visualizations that allow engineers to parameterize a curation pipeline, inspect its behavior at runtime, and evaluate the quality of the dataset it produces. This role demands high visual craft and the ability to distill genuinely complex features into designs that feel obvious. You’ll own the visual quality of what lands in production and partner closely with engineers to bring it to life. You’ll collaborate with leadership, engineering, research, and customers, with a rare opportunity to influence product direction at an early stage.

Responsibilities

• Create and design key user-facing features and components of our data curation platform end-to-end, from concept to production.
• Define the design principles for an enterprise platform, setting the bar for clarity and confidence in high-stakes workflows.
• Establish and evolve an intuitive, scalable design system, style guide, and illustration language to ensure consistent product scaling.
• Deliver high-quality assets—icons, illustrations, and motion—that hold up across the product.
• Create wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity designs that balance user needs with real technical constraints.
• Conduct user research, usability testing, and analysis to understand pain points and validate design solutions.
• Collaborate with engineering and research teams to define both long-term strategy and short-term deliverables.
• Help establish our design culture as an early member of the design team.

Areas You’ll Design

• Technical workflows: Front-end UI for setting up, launching, monitoring, and intervening in long-running curation and training jobs.
• Data visualization: Making dataset composition, quality, and cost legible at a glance.
• Onboarding and integration: Flows that get customers’ data into the platform.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience designing digital products, with a portfolio showcasing strong UX, UI, and interaction design skills.
• High visual craft, with the ability to produce finished assets yourself—iconography, illustration, and interface detail that ship.
• A track record of motion design that is beautiful and intuitive, clarifying what’s happening rather than decorating it.
• Experience creating intuitive, scalable design systems and style guides from scratch and evolving them as a product grows.
• Experience simplifying complex technical concepts into intuitive user experiences.
• Experience designing data-dense interfaces and data visualization.
• Experience designing for cross-functional partners, multiple use cases, and distinct user types—enterprise technical users alongside ML researchers and scientists.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to articulate design decisions to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Proficiency with Figma and other prototyping software.
• Comfortable working in an ambiguous, fast-paced startup environment.
• Ability to balance short-term deliverables with long-term vision.
• Self-motivated problem solver who can work independently while collaborating effectively with cross-functional teams.

Nice to Have

• You implement your own work—comfortable in HTML and CSS, and shipping front-end code alongside engineers.
• Experience working with AI tools to prototype and implement designs.
• Experience designing platform workflows for ML engineers and researchers.
• Experience designing for technical or enterprise users.
• Experience working as an early designer at a startup.

Pay

The salary for this position ranges from $180,000 to $250,000. Starting pay is based on job-related skills, experience, qualifications, and interview performance.

Benefits

• 100% covered health benefits (medical, vision, and dental).
• 401(k) plan with a generous 4% company match.
• Unlimited PTO policy.
• Paid Parental Leave of 12 weeks, plus 6 months of WFH flexibility.
• Annual $2,000 wellness stipend.
• Annual $1,000 learning and development stipend.
• Daily lunches and snacks provided in the office.
• Relocation assistance for employees moving to the Bay Area.
