What is this role like?
We’re looking for a proactive and experienced Product Designer to join our fast-paced, growing US team! In this role, you’ll be instrumental in transforming complex products into intuitive, impactful experiences that empower retailers, marketplaces, and advertisers to thrive on Topsort’s platform.
You will:
- Collaborate closely with product managers, engineers, and business teams to define and create user-centric products that drive adoption and make a meaningful impact across the platform.
- Own the end-to-end design process for complex features: from research, to design, refining, and implementation, ensuring accessibility and responsibility throughout.
- Translate complex, technical concepts (such as auctions and retail monetization) into clean, intuitive interfaces that align with our brand guidelines.
- Help evolve and maintain our design system as the product grows and scales.
- Work alongside design and marketing teams to create engaging motion, video, and marketing materials for boosting our brand visibility.
What (we think) you need to be successful – but hey, surprise us if you’re an outlier!
- 3–5+ years of experience as a Product Designer (or UX/UI Designer) in a B2B SaaS environment, ideally working on complex platforms with technical users.
- Strong portfolio showcasing complex web and mobile design projects, demonstrating all the design processes and problem-solving.
- Mastery of Figma, rapid wireframing, prototyping and design systems.
- Proficient in Adobe Creative Suite (especially After Effects and Illustrator) for developing motion graphics, animations, and marketing assets that align with our brand.
- Experience collaborating with cross-functional teams in an agile, fast-moving startup environment. Comfort navigating ambiguity and shifting priorities in a startup environment.
- Strong communication skills—able to present ideas clearly and justify design decisions to stakeholders at all levels. Proactive, and open to both giving and receiving feedback.
- Work onsite (office in Boston) 4 days a week, and openness to occasional travel for team offsites and customer visits.

Topsort Culture
- Speed: We work hard, set aggressive goals and execute flawlessly to accomplish them. We give candid feedback, push each other to set higher goals and produce more impact by always thinking “how do we do this faster and better”
- Fast Growth: We believe startup scaleup is just like a team sport. It's been written in our motto since day 1 that we are collaborative internally, competitive externally, and never the other round around. You are ultimately surrounded by just different people that are all here to help you get the job done and shine as a team.
- Intellectual Rigor and Individuality: We were born in the pandemic by Stanford and Harvard alum cofounders who offer remote-working options with coworking memberships and (at least) once a year in person offsite gathering. You’ll be welcomed by coworkers in 11 countries that all bring a unique perspective to the company from day 1. From personalized birthday gifts to work anniversaries, and management training program or in-person gatherings or career talks and mentorships, part-time DJs and tik-tok vloggers are also commercial leaders and technical staff at Topsort. We don’t take management with a cookie cutter approach - but rather we cherish your quarks and think it makes us stronger.
