What will I be doing?
Were looking for a Product Designer to join our Product team, owning design across Sylveras carbon markets product pillar and supporting our marketing team with brand and campaign work.
The core of this role is product design. Sylveras platform turns messy, uncertain carbon project data into something people can actually make decisions with. This is a high-impact individual contributor role where youll ship real work from week one.
Youll work closely with our Lead Product Designer. As a team of two at a startup, we both own the Sylvera brand and support marketing when it counts. Product comes first, but when the marketing team needs design support, we deliver.
AI-powered tools like Claude Code, Figma Make, and Lovable are standard parts of our workflow - not a nice-to-have.
Specific responsibilities will include:
Product design
- Own product design for Sylveras carbon market product pillar from 0-1 discovery and throwaway prototypes through to shipped, polished experiences
- Design data-dense interfaces: dashboards, pricing tools, portfolio views, comparison tables, monitoring pages, and geospatial maps
- Work directly with PMs and engineers to ship work thats both useful and crafted
- Participate in customer research alongside PMs, bringing design thinking to discovery and validation

- Step up during major publications like the annual State of Carbon report, where marketing design demand spikes
- Contribute to brand evolution as the design function grows

AI-powered design workflows are standard here, not a nice-to-have. Youll collaborate closely with Jake (Lead Product Designer) through regular crits, async Figma feedback, and ad hoc design conversations.

Were looking for someone who:
- Has 3+ years of product design experience covering both UX and UI
- Has worked in B2B SaaS, ideally on data-heavy products (dashboards, analytics, trading platforms)
- Thinks about what data means and what action it should drive, not just how it looks on screen
- Is strong in Figma and comfortable working within an established design system
- Can handle marketing design work to a professional standard when needed: reports, banners, social assets
- Uses AI tools in their everyday design workflow
- Has strong visual craft - your work looks polished and intentional, not just functional
- Cares deeply about the climate and ecosystems of the earth
- Is a self-starter who thrives in constantly evolving environments, ideally with early-stage experience
