Clera is an AI-powered talent agent that connects 55,000+ tech professionals with VC-backed startups — not through job boards, but through intelligent, personalized outreach via email, iMessage, and WhatsApp. We've grown from $0 to over $1M ARR in six months, backed by 1984 Ventures, Deel Ventures, and angels from OpenAI, Sequoia, a16z, and LinkedIn.
Our product is the agent itself — and the surfaces where talent and companies interact with it. That's what you'd be designing.
This is a product design role, not a marketing one. Expect projects like:
Designing new flows for how candidates experience AI-driven job matching (onboarding, preference setting, opportunity review)
Evolving the company-facing dashboard where startups manage pipeline, review talent, and track agent activity
Defining interaction patterns for a product where the AI is the primary actor and the UI supports oversight, not manual input
Translating complex data (match scores, engagement signals, funnel metrics) into interfaces that are clear without being dumbed down
Occasionally shaping net-new product concepts from zero — we move fast and test ideas quickly
This is flexible and project-based — not a fixed weekly retainer. We'll scope work together in chunks, typically with async briefs and feedback via Slack/Figma. You'd work directly with our CTO and founding team. Some weeks might be 15+ hours during an intense sprint; others might be quiet. We're looking for someone who's comfortable with that rhythm and doesn't need a standing meeting to stay aligned.
You've designed product UI/UX for software companies — ideally B2B SaaS, marketplaces, or tools with meaningful complexity. You're not just making things pretty; you're making systems legible.
You think in flows and states, not just screens. You naturally consider empty states, error cases, loading, edge cases.
You can work from a rough brief or a conversation and produce something that moves the product forward — not a pixel-perfect mockup that took two weeks.
You're fluent in Figma. Bonus if you have opinions about design systems and component architecture.
You've freelanced before and know how to manage your own time, ask the right questions early, and flag blockers without being chased.
Competitive project-based compensation (we'll discuss rate and scope together)
Real product ownership — your work ships to tens of thousands of users, not a backlog
A small, sharp team that doesn't do design-by-committee
Potential to grow into a larger role as Clera scales
