Liminal are hiring a
Product Design Fellow
Skip the coffee runs…
Calling early-career Product Designers who are ready to move beyond theory, templates, and “safe” problems. This isnt just a junior role — its a launchpad into real product work across real industries.
Okay… We Know What Youre Thinking: So What?
You might be a fresh graduate breaking into product design. Or a junior designer from an agency, startup, or in-house team looking for deeper exposure and faster growth. Either way, youre hungry to understand how products actually get built — from identifying user problems to shaping concepts that become real businesses.
With our 1-year Product Design Fellowship, youll get hands-on experience designing products from zero to one. Youll work alongside experienced designers and venture teams, learning how user research, design thinking, and UX/UI come together in early-stage environments. This role is designed for designers who are curious, adaptable, and excited to explore different industries before locking into a single path.
Alright, Alright, Lets Get to the Good Stuff – Heres Whats in It for You
This isnt a passive learning program. Its a high-exposure, high-support environment where youll grow quickly by doing meaningful work.
Why this role works for early-career designers:
- You get in-house experience without being tied to one product
- You work across multiple industries and problem spaces
- You learn directly from senior designers, founders, and operators
- You build a strong foundation in human-centred design and product thinking
What is Liminal
Liminal is a Founders Studio headquartered in Singapore and Boston. We co-build with topflight founders by providing build expertise, unfair access, and funding to de-risk their journey from idea to Series B and beyond.
What is the Role?
Were looking for a Product Design Fellow to support our designer team throughout the zero-to-one venture building process. Youll be exposed to user research, design thinking, and UX/UI design, gradually taking on more ownership as your skills and confidence grow. Whether youre a fresh graduate or an experienced junior, the role adapts to your starting point — but the expectations to learn fast stay high.
Responsibilities
In this role, you will:
- Support and conduct user research (interviews, usability testing, desk research, surveys)
- Synthesize research into clear insights and opportunity areas
- Create design artefacts such as personas, journey maps, wireframes, prototypes, and MVP flows
- Support UX/UI design for early product concepts and MVPs
- Participate in design thinking workshops and collaborative sessions
- Work closely with Product, Engineering, and Business teams
- Learn how design decisions impact desirability, product-market fit, and business strategy
Attributes
This role could be a great fit if you:
- Have 1–3 years of experience in product design, UX/UI, research, or a related field
- Are a junior designer looking to level up
- Understand the basics of human-centred design and UX principles
- Are comfortable using Figma (or similar tools) to communicate ideas
- Are curious, proactive, and comfortable with ambiguity
- Communicate clearly and enjoy collaborating with others
Backgrounds we welcome:
Agency, in-house, startups, consultancies, or academic programs.
This is a rare opportunity to build range before specialising — to try different industries, products, and problem spaces while learning from a strong venture and design team.
If youre early in your design career and want real exposure, real mentorship, and the space to discover your “vibe” — this role was built for you.
