Company Overview:

Model ML is the AI workflow builder transforming how major financial institutions produce and validate client-ready work. Model ML converts complex, manual processes into fully automated AI systems that scale across global teams. In under a year, Model ML has become one of the fastest growing enterprise AI platforms worldwide and recently closed a $75 million Series A, one of the largest fintech Series A rounds ever. The round was backed by FT Partners, Y Combinator, LocalGlobe, QED, 13books, and other top global investors, bringing total funding to $90 million.

The Role:

We’re looking for a world-class Design Lead to define and scale the design function from the ground up. You’ll work directly with the founders to shape user experience, system design, and visual identity. This is a hands-on, high-impact role for someone who loves ambiguity, thrives on ownership, and wants to craft the interface of enterprise AI.

What You’ll Be Responsible For:

• Define and lead the product and visual design strategy across the company.

• Translate complex AI workflows into elegant, intuitive user experiences.

• Create and maintain a scalable design system that serves both internal and external users.

• Own the end-to-end design process—from user research to wireframes to pixel-perfect UI.

• Work closely with product, engineering, and marketing to ensure consistency and quality across all touchpoints.

• Uphold and evolve Model ML’s visual identity, ensuring every screen, slide, and asset reflects our ambition.

• Set up design operations and standards that can scale with the company.

What You Can Expect:

• You’ll be building from zero—no templates, no red tape.

• Priorities will shift. Deadlines will tighten. You’ll be uncomfortable—but constantly learning.

• You’ll collaborate directly with the CEO and CTO, influencing product decisions at the highest level.

• It will be the most creatively and intellectually demanding work of your career.

What We’re Looking For:

• 6+ years of experience in product design, with a strong portfolio of B2B SaaS or technical products. Experience designing AI product is preferable.

• Ability to distill complexity into clarity—both in user flows and visual hierarchy.

• Experience working closely with engineers and shipping high-quality features at speed.

• A thoughtful, opinionated design aesthetic—but open to iteration and feedback.

• Excellent communication and storytelling skills—you’ll be the steward of design thinking at Model ML.

• Deep ambition to help build a generational company.

What We Offer:

• Direct access to the founding team (2x YC-backed exits).

• Competitive salary + meaningful equity.

• A rare chance to define how enterprise AI should feel and function.

• A culture of high trust, high intensity, and high impact.

To Close:

We’re assembling a small team of people who want to build something iconic—and are willing to sacrifice for it. If you’re hungry, smart, and ready to make your defining career move, we’d love to meet.
