Product Designer [Remote]
About Kodara
Kodara is building the future of expertise. Founded by Lucas Lee-Tyson, who grew a digital marketing business to over $58 million before realizing its fatal flaw, our company was born from a powerful insight: clients don't want more information; they want results. They are overwhelmed with courses and coaching that feel like "homework" and are desperate for a shortcut to their goals.
Our mission is to solve the "Expert's Dilemma". We are the world's first platform that allows an expert to turn their entire mind into an AI-powered "digital worker". We're not building another chatbot. We're creating a new business model within the emerging $4.5 trillion "Digital Labor" industry, enabling experts to package their unique discernment and processes into an autonomous engine that delivers real results for their clients.
We're a small, ambitious team poised to define a new category, and we're looking for our first designer to help us shape this vision.
The Role: Founding Product Designer
This is a rare opportunity to be the first designer on the team and a foundational architect of the Kodara platform. You will work directly with our CEO (Lucas) and CTO (Andrei) to translate our powerful vision into an elegant, intuitive, and empowering user experience.
Our clients are coaches and consultants like Leanne and Sandra, who feel the daily friction of juggling multiple systems, fighting with "bad intern" AI that gets things "half right, but half wrong", and feeling the pressure of a marketing treadmill that isn't working. Your job is to design the product that provides them with control, reliability, and profound relief.
Responsibilities
Own the User Experience: Lead the end-to-end design process, from user research and journey mapping to wireframing, high-fidelity UI, and prototyping.
Simplify Complexity: Translate sophisticated AI concepts—like knowledge graphs, data connectors, and autonomous agents—into intuitive and accessible interfaces that don't overwhelm our users.
Strategic Collaboration: Partner with the CEO on product strategy and vision, and with the CTO to ensure your designs are technically feasible.
User-Centric Research: Conduct user interviews and testing to deeply understand our customers' emotional triggers, pain points, and workflows, ensuring our product solves their real-world problems.
Build the Foundation: Create and maintain a comprehensive design system from the ground up to ensure product consistency and scalability as we grow.
Who You Are
You are an experienced Product Designer with a strong portfolio showcasing your work on complex SaaS applications.
You are a master of modern design tools (e.g., Figma) and have a deep understanding of user-centered design principles.
You are fascinated by AI and energized by the challenge of designing for new, complex technologies. Experience with data visualization or AI products is a huge plus.
You are a strategic thinker who can contribute to the product vision, not just execute on a roadmap. You are an excellent communicator who can clearly articulate your design decisions and the user needs that drive them.
You thrive in a fast-paced startup environment, are comfortable with ambiguity, and are excited by the prospect of having a massive impact as a foundational team member.
