Product Designer

About the role

This is our first dedicated design role, which means you're not inheriting a design system — you're writing it. The patterns you set will define how every Keplaris product and client build looks and behaves from here on.

What we look for

• Dashboard fluency. You've designed data-heavy SaaS interfaces — tables, charts, filters, alerts — and you know how to make density readable instead of overwhelming.
• Commerce sense. You understand e-commerce design: product pages, carts, and checkout flows where every confusing pixel costs a sale.
• Systems thinking. You build in Figma like an engineer builds in code — components, variables, and tokens that scale across products instead of one-off screens.
• Engineering partnership. You work directly with engineers, understand what's cheap and what's expensive to build, and adjust designs without losing their intent.
• Craft under constraint. You make things beautiful and shippable. You'd rather launch a tight, polished v1 than present a stunning concept that never leaves the file.
• Clear rationale. You can explain why a design works — in writing, to a client or an engineer — without leaning on taste alone.

What you'll do

• Design the UX and UI for GeoIPHub and ClickFortify dashboards — the screens where users investigate traffic, configure protection, and decide whether to trust what they're seeing.
• Lead design on client work: Shopify storefronts, marketing sites, and SaaS interfaces built by our engineering team.
• Build and maintain the Keplaris design system in Figma — components, tokens, and documentation that engineers actually use.
• Pair directly with engineers during implementation, reviewing builds and refining details until the shipped product matches the design.
• Shape product decisions early — you'll be in scoping conversations, not just handed requirements.

What we offer

• Competitive pay
• A remote-first US team anchored in New York
• Real product ownership — your design decisions ship into products we run, and you'll see how they hold up with real users
• As the first designer, you set the visual and interaction standard for the whole studio
• Small team, no design-by-committee, direct line to the founders

How to apply

Email main@keplaris.com with your portfolio — we want to see shipped product work, especially dashboards or e-commerce, with a few sentences on the problem and what you decided. A Figma file that shows how you structure components tells us more than a highlight reel.
