This is a full-stack design role that spans UX strategy, UI craftsmanship, and graphic design. Holistically, the role will place a heavier emphasis on user experience, over UI.

This person will report directly to the CEO, and play a foundational role in shaping Abstract's design language and design system. They'll work closely with product, engineering, and marketing to build a platform that not only makes government data usable, but delightful. The product design team will remain lean as we scale, with the expectation of you being the sole designer for the foreseeable future at Abstract. They will work will support the company's go-to-market efforts by co-creating sales decks, marketing visuals, and graphics that communicate our value to enterprise customers.

This is an opportunity to set the design standard for an AI-first tool that is re-defining how companies, and ultimately the everyday person, interacts with their governing bodies. It's a special time, as we have strong demand from enterprise pilots, and are on the cusp of crossing product-market fit into our Series A next.
