Product Designer at basis-ai

The role

Basis is looking for a designer to create interfaces where humans and AI agents co-create work for the accounting industry. You will lead the design of both user-facing screens and the invisible UI toolbox that agents use to assemble workflows. This role focuses on moving beyond chatbots to build the next generation of agent-native software.

What you'll do

• Design user-agent interactions from first sketch to polished release
• Invent agent-ready UI primitives for real-time assembly and editing
• Partner with product design to integrate agents into various surfaces
• Perform accounting work to build deep empathy for the users
• Pair with founders to sketch the long-term vision for the product
• Turn insights from LLM research into actionable product decisions

What you'll bring

• Experience designing complex SaaS or AI tooling for four to eight years
• Demonstrated success in leading at least one zero-to-one product launch
• Ability to prototype with LLMs and reason from first principles
• Proficiency in sketching flows live and polishing interactions in Figma
• Commitment to working in-person five days a week in New York City

Your impact

You will lead the transition from traditional software to agentic interfaces that allow humans and AI to co-create work seamlessly. Your designs will enable agents to perform complex accounting tasks for hours at a time, fundamentally changing the real economy. By inventing new UI primitives, you will set the industry standard for how generally-intelligent software is experienced by professional users.
