Lead Product Designer
About Search Atlas Group
We're a scrappy, fast-growing SaaS team that clawed our way to $32M ARR without ever taking a dime of outside money. We build marketing tools that actually do the work instead of just sitting there looking busy in a dashboard. We move fast, we laugh a lot (sometimes at ourselves), and we genuinely care about the humans we bring on board. If that sounds like your kind of chaos, keep reading. 👀
The Opportunity
Search Atlas is at an exciting inflection point. We’re rebuilding and scaling our product experience, and we need someone who can shape what that looks like from the ground up. This is not a seat at a large design team. You’ll be the designer. The work is fast, the feedback loop is short, and the impact is immediate.
You’ll own design end to end: from early wireframes to final handoff, collaborating directly with product managers, engineers, and leadership. This role grows with the company. If you build well and communicate clearly, there’s a real path to leading a design function as we scale.
What You’ll Do
AI-Assisted Design
Use AI-based design tools daily to accelerate ideation, wireframing, and prototyping
Stay ahead of emerging AI tools and actively bring them into the workflow
Push the boundaries of what’s possible by using AI to move faster and design smarter
Product Design and Execution
Lead end-to-end design for key product features, from concept to delivery
Create wireframes, user flows, mockups, and interactive prototypes in Figma
