Dispatching the right technician to the right job can mean the difference between a $300 \"band-aid\" fix and a $20,000 system replacement. By automating previously high-touch workflows around-the-clock, Probook ensures a consistent customer experience without the need for 24/7 live staffing. We unify our customers' processes into a single, scalable platform, giving businesses one place to run their entire dispatch operation.\nThe role\nYou are our first designer. You own how Probook looks, feels, and works across the web app, mobile, and Chrome extension, and you ship the frontend yourself.\nThat second part is not a stretch goal. Most of what you design, you will build and merge. If your process ends at a Figma handoff, this is not the role.\nThe software this industry runs on looks like it was designed in 2008. For a lot of our operators, Probook is the best-designed product they use at work. You set that bar from here.\nWhat you'll do\nOwn UI/UX quality across all three surfaces, end to end\n\nShip production frontend changes yourself - design through merge\n\nEstablish Probook's visual and interaction language from scratch\n\nSit in on customer calls, watch operators work, and turn what you see into things that ship\n\nPartner with engineers from spec to ship, and with the founders on product direction\n\nUse Claude Code, Cursor, and similar to go from problem to multiple working flows in a day\n\nWhat we're looking for\nRequired:\n4-6 years of product design experience, ideally 2+ years at startups\n\nA track record of merging your own frontend code to production. We will ask for specifics and look at the work.\n\nB2B or ops-heavy product background.\n\nStrong portfolio of shipped product work\n\nTurnaround in hours, not weeks, without dropping quality\n\nWhat separates the top of the pool:\nTaste you can't switch off - you see the typographic inconsistency and you fix it\n\nYou can explain why a decision is right, not just show the artifact\n\nYou explore the problem properly before converging, then converge fast\n\nYou pick the important flow over the interesting one without being told\n\nYou get dangerous on incomplete context quickly\n\nYou're getting better at this on your own time\n\nCompensation\n$180K-$230K base, meaningful early-stage equity\n\nMedical, dental, vision\n\n$500/month Ramp card, $25 nightly dinner credit\n\nIn-office five days a week in Manhattan","description_format":"text","description_chars":2528,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":4,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["AI Agents","Field Service Management Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-25T19:08:57Z"}],"liveness":{"score":60,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.602,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":16,"reasons":["conf:2","stale_co","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-09-28T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/probook-founding-design-engineer-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/probook-founding-design-engineer-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-09-29T04:08:27Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":3883,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":1117,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-09-30T00:00:00Z"}}}
