Product Designer (SF)

About GIGR

GIGR (Giver's Ground) is on a mission to eliminate uncertainty from digital advertising. We believe that in the age of AI, marketing performance shouldn't rely on guesswork or slow, fragmented production cycles. It should be a high-velocity, feedback-driven science.

To achieve this, we are building playad.ai, a multi-agent marketing workflow designed to support the full creative lifecycle—briefing, production, experimentation, measurement, and iteration. We are starting by revolutionizing interactive ads for global brands, but our ultimate goal is to become the foundational infrastructure for all creative marketing. Backed by world-class investors like BRV Capital and Mirae Asset, we are a high-density team of "Givers" building for a J-curve growth trajectory. We aren't just building a tool; we are building the ground where the future of advertising is defined.

What We Value

GIGR is Giver's Ground. We believe that the most effective way to achieve J-curve growth, both as a company and as individuals, is to build an environment where everyone proactively raises the bar for the people around them. We optimize for teammates who bring high standards, client-first judgment, and a "Giver" mindset to every interaction.

We view the development of AI marketing workflows as an empirical science. Because our work relies on high-velocity feedback loops, we operate as a deeply collaborative and transparent group. We prioritize collective success over individual silos, ensuring that knowledge and context are shared freely so the entire team can move faster.

The Role

Product Designer

About the Role

We’re looking for a Product Designer to define how marketers work with an AI agent team across the entire growth cycle—from planning and creative production to campaign execution, performance analysis, next-best-action recommendations, and continuous iteration.

Responsibilities

• Map and design the full marketing loop: plan → make creative → launch → learn from performance → get recommendations → iterate fast.
• Translate complex AI capabilities into clear, intuitive experiences with strong craft across interaction, visual, and systems design
• Proactively bring ideas to the table and shape product direction
• Articulate and defend design decisions clearly to stakeholders
• Collaborate closely with engineers to ship features
• Build and contribute to our design system
• Work in weekly sprints with fast turnaround

You May Be a Good Fit If You Have

• Shipped complex products where the problem was fuzzy and the direction wasn’t fully defined—and you can clearly explain how your decisions shaped the product (not just the UI).
• A background in marketing is a big plus. If you’ve actually run campaigns (yes, clicked buttons in Ads Manager and watched the CPMs do their thing), even better.
• Strong portfolio demonstrating craft across interaction, visual, and systems design
• Experience building or contributing to design systems
• Ability to communicate design decisions clearly to stakeholders
• A proactive self-starter who takes initiative and brings ideas forward
• Startup experience is a huge plus

Important Note

• We will NOT accept applications missing a cover letter explaining why you're interested in the role, how you can contribute, and why GIGR.
• Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. This posting may close at any time once suitable candidates have been found, so we advise applying as soon as possible.
• We've got a team that genuinely loves blurring time zones — if working across US and KR hours sounds energizing rather than exhausting, you'll fit right in.

Application Questions

• please include the answers in your cover letter, along with your portfolio.
• How many years of professional UX design experience do you have?
• Have you built or contributed to a design system before?
• Tell us about a time you drove a design project end-to-end, or an idea you proactively brought to the table.
• Tell us about a time you designed for an AI feature or AI-assisted workflow and made it easier to understand. If you haven’t worked on AI directly, pick a complex workflow instead. What did you simplify, and what tradeoffs did you make?
• If you end up trying playad.ai, we’d love to hear what you think: what did you try, what felt magical vs. confusing, and what would you change?
• Are you able to work in person in San Francisco 5 days a week?
• Will you now or in the future require visa sponsorship?
