The Role
You'll be the first software designer to join the product team as Jitter enters the next phase of growth. This is a foundational role, with the mission to own the end-to-end product experience (the editor, the workspace, and every feature in between) and make sure great design is never a bottleneck to shipping.
•Own the craft. You'll be responsible for the full execution of Jitter's core product design: every pixel, every interaction, every moment of the user journey. You'll have the authority to challenge assumptions, rethink workflows, and simplify complexity across the interface.
•Raise the bar. The goal is to stand shoulder to shoulder with the best-designed products in the world (Apple, Figma, Linear, Framer, etc). You'll set the standard, push the limits of the craft, and help establish design excellence as a core company value.
•Ship it yourself. You'll take ideas from concept to production, prototyping and shipping directly in code with AI tools, so design moves as fast as the product.
•Bring AI into the product. You'll design how AI shows up in Jitter, making powerful new capabilities feel simple and natural for creative teams.
•Be part of the bigger picture. You'll contribute to strategic decisions, roadmap planning, and long-term product vision.
What this looks like day to day
•Evolving the editor by introducing new advanced creative features in the most intuitive way possible, collaborating closely with engineers to invent solutions that feel obvious in hindsight.
•Redesigning the workspace experience to support the needs of fast-growing teams and global organizations, with leading companies like Google, DEPT, Spotify, AKQA, The New York Times, LVMH, and more already adopting Jitter.
•Shaping the vision and execution of the industry's first motion design OS, defining what it is, how it works, and how it empowers the next generation of creative teams.
Requirements
•Hands-on product designer with a deep passion for craft and a strong belief in close collaboration with engineers to bring excellence into every product detail, from high-level user experience to the finest interface interaction.
•Thrives at the intersection of design and engineering, ensuring every feature shipped is thoughtful, cohesive, and beautifully executed.
•2+ years of experience designing and shipping polished, user-centered products, ideally at a startup or scale-up. Talent and potential matter more than years on a CV.
•AI fluency: actively uses AI in own design process, excited to prototype and design AI-powered features for Jitter.
•Can ship to production using tools like Cursor, turning designs into working product without waiting on engineering resources.
•A strong portfolio of shipped work (personal projects very welcome).
•Outstanding visual design skills, with strong command of typography, layout, color, and visual hierarchy.
•A sharp eye for design, obsessive attention to detail, and an intuitive sense of what feels right.
•A natural problem-solver who enjoys making the complex feel simple and elegant.
•Deep appreciation for design craft, and a creative sensibility shaped by curiosity across disciplines.
•Experience in motion design is a plus (bonus if you've used Jitter or explored similar tools), especially if eager to rethink how motion tools should work rather than recreate traditional ones.
•Highly autonomous, with the stakeholder management skills to drive decisions forward.
•Comfortable working in a fast-paced, iterative environment where speed, autonomy, and high standards go hand in hand.
