Claims is the clearest case: high-volume, repetitive workflows handled over the phone, by email, and across 200-page PDFs, most of it sitting in systems built in the early 2000s. Software has circled this problem for decades without touching the core of it, because nothing could make the calls or read the documents. AI finally can. Avallon builds agents that run the full claims lifecycle, from intake to settlement, so teams can move faster, eliminate busywork, and get more right.\nOut of YC we went from zero to seven figures of ARR in twelve months, and are now growing 3X quarter over quarter while working with some of the largest carriers in the world. Avallon is backed by top investors, and our founding team includes builders from MIT, Harvard, and Cornell. We aim to become the automation layer for the entire insurance industry, and we intend to get there with a talent-dense team where everyone is enabled to do best work of their careers.\nThe Role\nOur agents already do the work. They make the calls, read the records, and close the file. What we have not built yet is the thing our customers sit in all day while that happens.\nRight now that surface is an interface an engineer put together so the agents had somewhere to report. It works. It was never designed. In the next few months the largest insurance companies in the country start running real claims operations through it, and it has to hold up as the system their users live in.\nWe are hiring our first designer to own that. Every surface a customer touches, from the screen an examiner opens at 8am to the report an executive reads on Friday. You will build the design language, the research practice, and the bar for everyone who joins after you.\nWhat You'll Do\nOwn every surface a customer touches. The claims workspace, the review and exception flows, how an agent shows its work and its sources, the reporting an executive sponsor reads. You decide what good looks like, and you are accountable for whether it ships that way.\nTurn an agent platform into a system people work in. Our customers are replacing software they have used for twenty years. That means density, explicit state, and interfaces that make frequent tasks faster.\nDesign the interaction model for agents doing real work. A user has to see what the agent did, why, what it read, and where it was unsure, then agree or intervene. You’ll shape that experience with users and engineers.\nShip it. You turn customer problems surfaced by FDEs or customers into clear workflows and drive them with engineering from discovery through delivery, owning usability and measuring whether the solution works for users.\nFind and measure friction. Own UX instrumentation and analysis, combine behavioral data with user research, and test whether changes help users complete their work with less effort.\nSet the bar. Build the design system and the principles behind it. As design grows here, you are the natural person to lead it.\nYou\n5+ years designing software, with end-to-end ownership\n\nPortfolio depth in dense, technical software. Something an operator uses for six hours a day\n\nYou sit with the person doing the job, watch what confuses them, and change the design instead of defending it\n\nHigh agency. Nobody assigns you work and there is no design team to hide inside\n\nBased in NYC and excited to work in person\n\nNice to Have\nExposure to insurance, claims, healthcare, or another compliance-heavy operational domain\n\nYou have designed for AI products and have opinions about citations, confidence, and human-in-the-loop flows\n\nBrand and visual identity work\n\nEarly-stage startup experience, especially as the first hire in a function\n\nWhat We Believe In\nEating well: We provide lunch and dinner every workday from local restaurants.\n\nStaying healthy: 100% of medical, dental, and vision insurance covered, along with a generous monthly gym stipend.\n\nGetting out of the office together to recharge: quarterly offsites somewhere you actually want to go.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4112,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Vision insurance"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Property & Casualty Insurance","AI Agents"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-02T06:53:56Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 2","filings_12m":2,"filings_prev_12m":0,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":132500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":66,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.733,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":15,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:0","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":220000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/avallon-founding-product-designer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/avallon-founding-product-designer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-18T09:08:24Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":13634,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-19T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":670384},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=670384"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Favallon-founding-product-designer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Favallon-founding-product-designer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Favallon-founding-product-designer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/avallon-founding-product-designer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Favallon-founding-product-designer"}]}
