Product Designer

You will own product design end to end, working directly with customers, the founder and engineering.

Altius is an AI-powered portfolio automation and intelligence platform for family offices and institutional investors.

We turn complex, document-heavy investment workflows into structured, decision-ready intelligence.

Our challenge is simple: take very complex financial workflows and make them feel intuitive.

• Customer discovery
• Product and UX thinking
• 0-to-1 system design
• High-quality UI
• AI prototyping
• Execution through production

• User research - interview customers and understand how they actually work
• Analyze the existing product and identify friction, complexity and opportunities for improvement
• Separate feature requests from underlying product problems
• Simplify complex financial and operational workflows
• Design new products and systems from scratch
• Own user journeys, information architecture, interaction design and high-fidelity UI
• Build realistic prototypes quickly using AI tools
• Test ideas with customers and iterate fast
• Work closely with engineering through implementation and release
• Stay involved after launch and improve based on feedback and usage

• Customers find Altius easier and more intuitive to use
• Major friction points in the existing product are identified and improved
• New ideas move quickly from problem to tested prototype
• New products and workflows are successfully designed and shipped from scratch
• Customer discovery becomes a regular part of how we build
• The product becomes more consistent, polished and simple

• Native-level English

• Build products from 0 to 1
• Work directly with the founder, customers and engineering
• Solve genuinely complex product problems

AI is central to how this role works, not a side tool. In design, we expect you to use AI prototyping and coding tools to turn ideas into realistic, working prototypes quickly, put them in front of customers, and iterate before anything reaches engineering. Beyond design, we expect you to use models like Claude and ChatGPT across your day-to-day work, from preparing for and making sense of customer interviews to exploring more options in less time. We want someone who follows where these tools are heading and how they change the way products are designed and built, not someone who has simply used a chatbot.

• You own things end-to-end and see clients use them. No layers of management, no backlog nobody reads.
• You move fast. POC to production in days, sometimes hours. We judge results, not hours, and work hybrid with flexible schedules.
• You grow fast. Roles are broad and expand quickly. People who perform lead areas within a year or two.
• AI is how we work. It is in the product and in how we build it.
• The people. Everyone helps each other grow, and new joiners get a smooth landing.
