Job Description

About fonio

We grew from $1M to $10M ARR in under 12 months and now serve 10,000+ customers. fonio is Europe's market leader for AI phone agents for SMBs. Our AI answers every call automatically, but voice is just the beginning: we're building the AI operating system for small businesses.

We move fast, take ownership, give direct feedback, and avoid politics and unnecessary meetings. Join one of Europe's fastest-growing companies.

Your role

You shape how fonio feels to use for thousands of businesses. You own core areas of our product end-to-end: from talking to customers, to designing the flow, to shipping it with our engineers.

You're a hands-on designer with high craft and a lot of autonomy. You don't wait for perfect specs. You find the problem, design the solution and move fast.

What to expect

  • Own the design of core product areas end-to-end, in close collaboration with Product Engineering and our founders

  • Talk to customers regularly and turn insights into design decisions

  • Make complex functionality simple: solve complexity instead of designing it visibly

  • Shape and scale our product design system

  • Prototype fast with AI tools (Cursor, v0, Claude and others) to get from idea to testable flow in hours, not weeks

  • Use analytics to measure what works, and iterate

Who we're looking for

  • Several years of experience as a product designer, ideally in a small, fast-moving product team (portfolio required)

  • Exceptional design craft: interaction detail, hierarchy, typography and motion

  • High autonomy: you take ownership without needing much structure

  • Experience with design systems and shipping features end-to-end

  • Product and analytics thinking: you don't design from your gut, you measure

  • AI-first mindset

  • Fluent English (any additional language is a plus, especially German (DACH is our most important market)

What we offer

  • Competitive salary: €65,000–€90,000

  • Equity - you're building this, so you should own a piece of it.

  • Food & drinks - lunch and dinner are on us

  • Relocation bonus (if you still need to move)

  • Equipment of your choice - whatever makes you happy.
