Product Designer

About the role

Valence is looking for a Product Designer to join our small, high-velocity product-design-engineering team. You'll work across the full product — from AI coaching flows to team collaboration features — shipping polished, thoughtful experiences on a weekly cadence.

Responsibilities

• Design end-to-end features across Valence's core product — coaching flows, onboarding, dashboards, and team tooling — from concept through shipped
• Contribute to and maintain our design system, ensuring consistency and craft as the product scales
• Work closely with product and engineering in weekly cycles, translating requirements into clear interaction flows and high-fidelity designs
• Participate actively in design critiques, working sessions, and paired design work with senior teammates
• Write product copy and micro-interactions that make the experience feel polished and human
• Explore how AI can be integrated into user experiences in ways that feel intuitive, not gimmicky

Requirements

• 3–5 years of product design experience with a portfolio that demonstrates strong craft and end-to-end thinking
• Experience shipping product on a small team — you're comfortable owning a feature without heavy process or specialized support
• Solid grounding in interaction design, visual design, and information architecture
• Familiarity working with and contributing to a design system
• Comfortable working in fast cycles — you can make decisions with incomplete information and iterate based on what you learn
• Proficiency in Figma

Qualifications

• Nice to have: experience designing conversational interfaces, chat products, or AI-powered experiences; exposure to enterprise SaaS or B2B products; interest in the intersection of AI, coaching, and human behavior

Benefits

• Competitive salary including base + bonuses
• Comprehensive health coverage (medical, dental, vision) from day one
• Generous PTO, company-wide R&R shutdowns, and paid parental leave
• Retirement plan support for US and global employees
• Equity - meaningful ownership in a venture-backed company at a growth inflection point
• Top-up grants as we scale and you deliver exceptional performance — your compensation grows alongside your impact
