About the Role
Mosaic is hiring a Founding Designer to shape the product experience from the ground up.
This is a high-ownership role for someone who wants to define design at a company building software for some of the most sophisticated decision-makers in the world. You’ll work directly with product and engineering leadership to create an intuitive, high-trust platform that transforms how deals get analyzed, reviewed, and executed.
Private market investing runs on spreadsheets, documents, and legacy workflows—and Mosaic is building the next generation of tooling: AI-powered, auditable, and built for speed. As Founding Designer, you’ll turn complex workflows into simple, elegant experiences and establish Mosaic’s design principles, systems, and craft bar.
You’ll be involved across the full lifecycle: customer discovery, workflow design, prototyping, UI systems, interaction design, and shipping product alongside engineers. The scope is broad, the pace is high, and your work will define how Mosaic feels for years to come.

Develop Mosaic’s Design System & Visual Language
Establish foundational components, patterns, and UX principles
Drive consistency across the product while keeping velocity high

Bring customer insight into product decisions and prioritization
Use prototypes to explore directions, align stakeholders, and move quickly
Be a Builder in a Fast-Growing Startup
Operate with high autonomy and ownership in an unstructured environment
Move quickly and iteratively—shipping, learning, refining
Help define how design works at Mosaic: process, tools, rituals, and culture
Who We’re Looking For
Strong Product Designer with Founder-Level Ownership
4+ years of product design experience (or equivalent craft + portfolio)
Excited to be hands-on, scrappy, and deeply embedded in the product
Systems + UX Thinking
Strong instincts for information architecture, complex workflows, and usability
Ability to design products that support expert users and dense concepts
Exceptional Craft
High attention to detail across UI, interaction, typography, layout, and polish
Ability to make complex software feel simple and calm
Collaborative and Clear Communicator
Comfortable working directly with engineers and shipping together
Ability to explain decisions, iterate with feedback, and build alignment
Customer-Obsessed Product Mindset
Loves talking to users, watching workflows, and identifying what matters
Can synthesize feedback into sharp product insights and design direction
Bonus (Not Required)
Experience designing for fintech, B2B SaaS, or workflow-heavy products
Familiarity with spreadsheet-like UI patterns and analytical tooling
Comfort designing for AI-driven workflows (extraction, review, agents, automation)
Some front-end fluency (you can speak dev, understand constraints, and move fast)
Why Join Mosaic?
Define design at a company reinventing core workflows in private markets
Work on high-impact, high-complexity product problems with real stakes
Partner with a world-class team across engineering, product, and finance
