Senior Product Designer
About us
Nectar Social is building the AI-native operating system for social commerce. We're not adding AI to an old playbook; we're rebuilding the entire category from the ground up. Backed by $10.6M from GV (Google Ventures) and True Ventures, we're working with leading consumer brands like OLIPOP, Tower 28, Hatch, and Magic Spoon. Founded by Stanford/Yale alums, we're based in Palo Alto and growing fast.
The Role
We're looking for a Senior Product Designer with exceptional craft—someone who obsesses over the details and has a track record of shipping beautiful products. This is a high-autonomy role where you'll own the future of how brands connect with communities through AI. You'll move fast, ship constantly, and shape the design language of a new category. If you're excited about building in an AI-native environment from day one, we'd love to talk.

Own core end-to-end product experiences
Pioneer new design patterns for AI-human collaboration in social commerce
Conduct user research with social media managers and community teams
Build and maintain design systems that scale across our growing platform
Collaborate with engineering and XFN teams to ship high-quality products
What We're Looking For
Preferably 5 years of product design experience
Hybrid work model with 3 days per week in our Palo Alto office
Strong portfolio demonstrating end-to-end design process from research to shipped products in a start up environment
Experience designing data-heavy interfaces, dashboards, or analytics products
Understanding of AI/ML product design and human-AI interaction patterns
Customer-obsessed with empathy for social media and community teams
Comfortable with ambiguity and rapid iteration in a startup environment
Bonus Points
Experience in social media management, community building, or influencer marketing
Background in e-commerce or conversion optimization
Previous startup experience, especially in AI or social tech
What We Offer
Competitive salary and significant equity package
Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance with 401(k) matching
Opportunity to shape product design at a fast-growing, well-funded AI-native startup
Work alongside experienced founders with deep Meta and product expertise
