Product Designer
Jinba (YC W26) · San Francisco, CA · 1 mo ago
HybridDesignFull-time
About the role
Jinba (jinba.io) is a Y Combinator (W26) company building AI workflow automation for the enterprise. We serve 40,000+ enterprise users, including major banks and insurance companies.
What You'll Do
- Talk directly to enterprise clients, study the competitive landscape, and identify opportunities to improve workflows and user experience.
- Create low-fidelity concepts quickly, run them by engineers and stakeholders, iterate based on feedback, and develop high-fidelity designs ready for implementation.
- Work side-by-side with product engineers from design through shipping. You're embedded in the build process, not handing off specs over a wall.
- Contribute to product strategy, not just pixels. Help us figure out what to build, not just how it looks.
- Begin establishing design patterns and a component library that scales as our product and team grow.
What We're Looking For
- 3+ years of product design experience, ideally in B2B SaaS or enterprise software.
- Strong portfolio showing end-to-end design work — from research and wireframes to polished, shipped UI.
- Comfort working directly with engineers and speaking their language. You understand technical constraints and design within them.
- Experience with enterprise UX — you know how to design for complex workflows, power users, and multi-step processes.
- Proficiency in Figma (or equivalent) and prototyping tools.
- Self-directed and high-agency. We're a small team; you'll have a lot of ownership.
Nice to Have
- Hands-on experience with AI/vibe coding tools. If you've used Cursor, Bolt, Lovable, v0, Claude Artifacts, Replit Agent, or similar tools extensively, you'll have strong intuition for the space we're designing in.
- A point of view on AI UX. We want someone who's not just following trends but thinking ahead — someone who can identify interaction patterns that even the leading AI companies haven't nailed yet.
- Experience designing for developer or technical audiences. Our users are building automations and APIs; understanding that mindset is a plus.
Why Jinba
- First design role at a YC-backed company with impressive revenue and enterprise traction.
- Direct impact – your work ships to major financial institutions and enterprise clients.
- Equity in an early-stage company with strong momentum.
- Working on one of the most exciting problems in AI: making automation accessible to every enterprise.
