    Job description

    About Clark

    Clark is building the trust infrastructure for the AI economy.

    We're starting with audit and accounting workflows—high-trust environments where reliability, accuracy, and security matter as much as productivity. Our platform helps firms automate complex workflows, deploy AI safely, and modernize how audit teams operate.

    The Role

    We are hiring a Founding Product Designer to define how customers experience Clark.

    This is a product design role focused on turning complex AI workflows into intuitive, trustworthy software. You'll work closely with Engineering, Product, Audit Engineers, and customers to understand how professionals work today and design the interfaces, workflows, and systems that make AI feel reliable in high-stakes environments.

    As one of the first designers at Clark, you'll have significant ownership over our product experience—from early concepts and user research through polished production designs. You'll help establish our design language, influence product direction, and shape how customers interact with AI every day.

    Why This Role Matters

    Clark is building software for professionals performing high-trust work.

    Our users need to understand what the system is doing, why it's doing it, and where their judgment matters. Great product design isn't about making software look good—it's about making complex AI workflows feel trustworthy, fast, and intuitive.

    The Founding Product Designer will help define how customers experience Clark, ensuring our products are not only powerful but approachable, transparent, and delightful to use.

    What You'll Do

    • Design intuitive end-to-end product experiences across Clark's core platform

    • Partner closely with Engineering, Product, Audit Engineers, and customers to understand workflows and translate them into thoughtful product experiences

    • Own the design process from discovery and wireframes through high-fidelity mockups and production-ready specifications

    • Create intuitive workflows for AI-powered audit and accounting products

    • Conduct user research, gather feedback, and iterate quickly based on customer insights

    • Build and evolve Clark's design system, interaction patterns, and visual language

    • Design for clarity, trust, accessibility, and usability across complex enterprise workflows

    • Collaborate closely with engineers to ensure a high-quality implementation of product designs

    • Help establish design best practices and raise the quality bar across the organization

    Who You Are

    • 3+ years of experience designing modern software products

    • Strong portfolio demonstrating exceptional product thinking, interaction design, and visual design

    • Expert in Figma and modern product design workflows

    • Experience designing complex web applications or enterprise software

    • Strong systems thinking and ability to simplify complex user workflows

    • Comfortable collaborating closely with engineers throughout implementation

    • High ownership with the ability to operate independently in ambiguous environments

    • Excellent communication skills and strong product intuition

    • Strong attention to detail and pride in crafting products users love

    Bonus

    • Experience designing AI-native or agentic products

    • Experience building enterprise workflow software or productivity tools

    • Experience designing for highly regulated or trust-sensitive industries

    • Experience creating and maintaining scalable design systems

    • Experience conducting customer research and usability testing

    • Experience at an early-stage startup

    The Environment

    • 5 days a week on-site in NYC — no remote or hybrid

    • Startup hours and pace — this isn't a 9-to-5

    • Flat structure, no hierarchy — everyone ships

    • High ownership — you own outcomes, not just tasks

    Benefits

    • Unlimited PTO

    • Wellhub Platinum membership

    • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage

    • Free company dinner every day
