But rice paper lanterns are fragile, hard to clean, and tend to yellow over time.\nLooking for an industrial alternative, he discovered filanca-a synthetic stretch nylon used exclusively for women's stockings at the time.\nMunari visited hosiery factories to test the material and see what forms it could take. \"We do not make lamps, sir. Only stockings,\" one factory told him. Munari replied, \"You'll see.\"\nThe result was the Falkland lamp: only a few centimeters thick when packaged, as tall as a human when hung, its spontaneous form emerging from the elasticity of the nylon and metal rings of different diameters inserted at regular intervals, enlarged by gravity when suspended from above.\nMunari didn't begin with the form of a lamp. He began with the qualities it needed, then looked outside the conventions of lighting to find the right materials and methods. We're looking for a designer who works the same way: someone who studies the systems and materials at hand, then finds a way of putting them together that feels both unexpected and inevitable.\nAt Co-Star, the materials are a 4,000-year-old system of astrology, planetary data from NASA, and a corpus written by astrologers and poets. The qualities we're designing for: astrology made accessible without asking anyone to learn a complex system, and a language that lets people share something intimate with their friends.\nWe're hiring a Senior Product Designer to continue cultivating those qualities across Co-Star and new experiments. You'll move between product architecture, interaction design, prototyping, and visual design. Ideas rarely arrive as polished specs. You'll help decide what we make next and how it works.\nWhat you'll do\nDesign and build products from concept through launch.\nWork closely with design and engineering on new features and launches.\nYou care about the details-typography, layout, motion, responsiveness, loading states, and performance-that make an experience great.\nContribute visual assets for marketing.\nPrototype ideas quickly using Figma, Claude, Cursor, and whatever tools helps move the work forward.\nYou might be a fit if\nYou have 2-5 years of experience designing and building for the web.\nYou move fluidly across the full design process, from early concept through final production.\nYou have an instinct for the details that make interfaces feel considered: type, spacing, motion, and how they all work together.\nYou know enough HTML and CSS to work effectively with engineers-or to build parts of the experience yourself.\nYou're comfortable using tools like Claude Code and Cursor as part of your workflow.\nYou'd rather prototype than make a presentation.\nWork > ego \nLogistics\nFull-time.\nHybrid in San Francisco or New York.\nCompensation: $150,500-$185,000 + benefits.\nTo apply\nA portfolio is required. We care much more about what you've made than where you've worked; if this sounds like you, apply even if you don't check every box.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3354,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Consumer Health Apps","Consumer & Utility Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-07-24T14:15:47Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":6,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.225,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":93,"expected_fill_days":20,"reasons":["conf:0","win:tail","crowd:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-26T05:57:25Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":185000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/costarastrology-product-designer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/costarastrology-product-designer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-26T21:13:05Z","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":28591,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-27T00:00:00Z"}},"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":5566},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=5566"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fcostarastrology-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%2Fcostarastrology-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%2Fcostarastrology-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/costarastrology-product-designer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fcostarastrology-product-designer"}]}
