About the role

About Typeface

We help the world’s biggest brands move from brief to fully personalized campaigns — in days, not months.

Founded by Abhay Parasnis and backed by Microsoft, GV, Salesforce, Lightspeed, Madrona and Menlo, we’re building category-defining technology at the intersection of creativity and AI with real impact. Join us to help shape the future of enterprise marketing.

What You’ll Do

We're looking for a Staff Product Designer who designs with AI the same way we build with it. You'll own complex product areas end-to-end, ship world-class experiences, and build things independently when the moment calls for it. This is not a role for someone curious about AI. It's for someone who's already living and working in it.

How You’ll Make an Impact

  • Own end-to-end design across multiple product areas — from zero to shipped
  • Use AI tools daily to move faster, prototype smarter, and go further than traditional workflows allow
  • Build independently when needed — prototypes, working flows, even production-ready work
  • Partner closely with product managers, engineers, and data to make decisions quickly and ship with conviction
  • Raise the bar on craft — not just what looks good, but what actually works for customers
  • Mentor other designers and help the team level up in an AI-native way of working

What You Bring

  • 10+ years of product design experience with a strong portfolio
  • Bachelor’s or Master's degree in a design-related filed, computer science, or human-computer interaction
  • You use AI tools in your actual workflow — not as a demo, but as a daily driver
  • Bonus if you vibe-code, prototype in code, or have shipped something you built yourself
  • Strong instincts for what makes a product feel right, not just look right
  • Experience in a fast-moving environment where the roadmap changes and you adapt
  • Figma fluency is a given; what matters more is what you do beyond it
  • Bonus: B2B/SaaS product experience
  • Bonus: HTML/CSS or front-end chops
  • Bonus: Experience designing AI products or workflows

Location

This is a hybrid role based in our Palo Alto HQ. We collaborate in-office 3 days a week.

Base Salary

The range for this role is $175K - $200K. Actual compensation may vary based on level, experience, and skillset as assessed in the interview process.

Benefits

  • Competitive compensation — including salary, equity, and 401(k)
  • Full medical, dental, and vision insurance for you and your family
  • HSA and FSA options to support your financial wellness
  • Flexible time off — including parental leave
  • Well-being programs — resources to support your mental and physical health
  • Daily lunch & snacks
  • Mentorship & impact — work closely with top AI leaders on products that ship

Equality Opportunity Statement

We welcome and encourage applicants from all backgrounds. Employment decisions are made without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, age, disability, medical condition, veteran status, or any other legally protected status. We comply with applicable laws in every jurisdiction where we operate.

  • Build something big — Be part of a fast-growing startup defining a new category: marketing orchestration powered by Agentic AI.
  • Your work will matter — Trusted by Fortune 100 companies, our platform delivers 10x content velocity and 90% faster campaigns.
  • A+ team — Collaborate with veterans from Meta, Amazon, Adobe, Google, Microsoft, and top AI companies.
  • Backed by the best — GV, Salesforce Ventures, Microsoft, Lightspeed, Madrona and Menlo ($165M raised).
