Circle is an all-in-one community platform designed for creators, brands, and startups to build, engage, and monetize their communities. It integrates tools for discussions, events, courses, and membership management into a seamless experience under one customizable brand.

This platform is ideal for building different types of communities including customer, course, and coaching groups, providing a space for collaboration, interaction, and growth.

📋 Description

• Own Discover's design end-to-end. Identify opportunities, frame problems, set design direction, and ship. You connect dots across the platform — understanding how a community business compound product feeds into what Discover surfaces — and you make that systems understanding visible in every design decision. • Design AI-driven discovery experiences. The new world UX is conversational and relational. You'll design the interfaces, curation experiences, and trust signals that make AI-driven discovery feel effortless — building the relationship between the platform, creators, and members in ways that feel human, not algorithmic. • Serve both sides of the market. You understand what makes a marketplace work at a systems level — how creator visibility gets earned, how consumer confidence gets built, how one broken experience erodes trust on both sides. That understanding drives your design decisions, not just your surface-level execution. • Prototype at speed. You use AI-assisted tools — Cursor, Claude Code, v0, Lovable — because you've already figured out it's how ideas get stress-tested fast. You stay in the problem through to launch, working closely with engineers to close the gap between concept and shipped experience. • Mentor and elevate. You raise the craft standard on Discover through the quality of your own work and how you develop designers alongside you. You give real feedback and set a high bar.

🎯 Requirements

• Strong alignment with our values, find our values on our career page if you haven’t read up on them yet • You are proficient in English (spoken, written, and reading) at a CEFR Level C2 / ILR Level 5. • Marketplace or two-sided platform experience — this is a hard requirement. You've designed for both sides of a market. You know what breaks trust and what builds it. Your portfolio shows you shaped outcomes, not just interfaces. • 5+ years of product design experience, including shipped 0→1 work, complex multi-user flows, and clear evidence that you drove product direction — not just executed it. • Experience as the most senior designer on a product area — setting direction, making tradeoffs, and owning outcomes without constant guidance. • Genuine fluency with AI-assisted prototyping. You build realistic prototypes yourself using tools like Cursor, Claude Code, v0, or Lovable. This is how you think, not just how you produce. You can speak concretely about your process. • Proficiency in Figma for high-fidelity design and cross-functional collaboration. • Proactive communication. You share your thinking before you're asked, surface decisions early, give real opinions, and keep your team informed without being prompted. At Circle, communication is how trust gets built and work gets shipped. • Comfort designing in ambiguity. Discover is still taking shape. You build conviction through iteration, not by waiting for perfect requirements.
