Product Designer
Design the match-and-tailor screen. It is one screen, a job post and a resume on one side and the fit score and tailored output on the other, and it is the whole company.

A job seeker opens Beacon with a role they want and a resume that does not quite speak to it. They need to see how they fit, and what changes, within four seconds of landing on the screen. And they need to feel better about their chances when they leave than when they arrived.
That is a genuinely hard design problem: a fit score, a list of matching skills, a list of gaps, a tailored resume, a cover letter and an interview prep set, all on a laptop in a tab between the application portal and their current job's Slack.
What you would own
- Own the match-and-tailor screen, the application dashboard and the flow from paste to a finished application.
- Design for the anxious state. Job searching is stressful, and the screen should reduce that, not perform features at it.
- Keep the visual system honest: white, one indigo, green for a match, amber for a gap, and space instead of decoration.
- Sit in on user research. The person who watches someone use the product should be the person who designs it.
What we are looking for
- Five or more years designing software people use to make a decision, not to browse.
- A portfolio with at least one dense, state-heavy screen you are proud of and can talk through.
- You prototype in code or close to it and do not wait for engineering to see if something works.
- You have a view about what good application feedback looks like and can show work to support it.
How hiring runs
A thirty-minute call with a founder, then a paid work session on a real problem from our backlog (three to four hours), then conversations with two people you would work with. Four steps, usually inside two weeks, and we tell you where you stand at every one.
