Job Description

Founding Product Designer – Berlin (On-site)

 

Salary: €80,000 – €150,000 + equity (0.75–1.5%)

Languages: Fluent English (C1)

Revive Recruitment is proud to be partnering with a Y Combinator–backed AI start-up based in Berlin, developing an innovative AI-powered motion design platform that’s redefining how creators and brands produce professional video animations.

 

Their mission is simple, to make motion design faster, smarter, and accessible to everyone. This is a rare opportunity to join the founding team at an early stage, take full ownership of design, and shape a product that’s set to transform an entire industry.

What you’ll do:

● Own the entire design process, from discovery to launch, for all customer-facing experiences.
● Design intuitive UI/UX for complex, AI-driven creative workflows.
● Lead user research, interviews, and usability testing to inform product improvements.
● Drive growth through onboarding optimisation, A/B testing, and conversion-focused design.
● Create visual assets and landing pages that communicate a compelling brand story.
● Collaborate directly with the founders on product strategy, roadmap, and prioritisation.
● Establish scalable design systems and maintain a high-quality design standard.

What you’ll bring:

● 2+ years’ end-to-end product design experience, ideally in consumer-facing or creative software.
● Proven experience with AI tools, complex workflows, or design-led products.
● Strong portfolio demonstrating UI/UX excellence and problem-solving ability.
● Hands-on experience with user research and testing.
● Growth and metrics-driven mindset.

Nice to have:
● Experience in video, animation, or motion graphics tools.
● Prior startup or founding team experience.
● Basic coding or prototyping (HTML/CSS/JS).

 

What’s on offer:

● €80,000 – €150,000 base salary + founding-level equity (0.75–1.5%).
● Company-paid lunch & dinner, relocation support, and central Berlin office.
● Direct collaboration with founders and full ownership of the product design vision.
● Join a small, high-performing team backed by Y Combinator and top investors.

If you’re a designer with a passion for innovation, creativity, and building category-defining products, this is your chance to make a true impact.
