Job Description
Director of Design overseeing design operations and collaboration with product and engineering teams at Soundstripe. Advocating for UX quality and creative brand identity with AI tooling.
Responsibilities:
- As our Director of Design, you’ll be the central design authority at Soundstripe
- This is a player-coach role: you’ll own the design vision and do the work
- Collaborate closely with the Directors of Product and Engineering to bring products to life, from ideation through execution and launch
- Help drive strategy to meet and expand our customer base's needs as we grow Soundstripe
- Lead and drive strategically to solve customer problems and build solutions as we expand from B2C to B2B to B2E
- Own product design across our web platform and new product surfaces, from concept to shipped pixels
- Advocate for UX quality in product and leadership discussions. Be the voice of the customer in the room
- Own the aesthetic and emotional identity of the Soundstripe brand in partnership with Marketing. You're the final word on whether something looks and feels like us
- Provide creative direction across product and brand/marketing design. You don't need to do all the brand work, but you set the standard
- Lead and maintain our design system, including token-based components and Figma-to-code (and vice versa) workflows
- Think in systems, not just screens. Design tokens, component architecture, and scalable patterns that let a small team punch way above its weight, especially when paired with AI tooling
- Rethink design workflows with AI at the center. From Figma-to-code pipelines and automated/semi-automated asset generation, to using LLMs for UX research synthesis, spec writing, and prototyping.
Requirements:
- Strong product design portfolio: you’ve shipped consumer or SaaS products and can show the thinking behind the result
- Experience leading design: you’ve been part of a small company or startup where you were both strategist and executor
- Comfort with brand and marketing design, even if product is your primary lane: at our scale, the lines blur
- Design systems experience: you’ve built or maintained component libraries and know how to bridge design and engineering
- Hands-on experience with: Figma variables, design tokens, and LLM-powered code-generation workflows
- Strong communication and follow-through: you surface problems early, keep commitments, and don’t disappear into a design cave
- Willingness to push back: you have opinions about what’s right for the user and you’ll defend them in the room, respectfully and directly
- AI-native mindset: you’ve already integrated AI into your design process (prototyping, research, asset generation, spec writing, whatever) and you have opinions about where it works and where it doesn’t. This isn’t a "nice to have": it’s core to how we operate
- Bonus points if you’ve worked with music, media, or creative tools, or if you’ve worked directly with a technical founder or CTO
Benefits:
- Autonomy and ownership: your impact will be visible and celebrated
- Collaborative, flexible work environment
- Remote (US-based), with occasional in-person time in Nashville or other US state(s) for onsites and offsites a few times a year
- Small, high-trust team. Low process, high ownership
