Product Designer
Maple · New York City
Hi 👋 I’m Aidan, founder of Maple.
At Maple, we’re building AI agents that work for restaurants. These agents answer calls, take orders, book appointments, and handle real customer interactions over natural voice.
But our bigger mission goes deeper: we’re building automated ontologies that model how businesses actually operate — their services, workflows, constraints, and language — so our agents can adapt to them instantly. We meet businesses where they are, not where software wants them to be.
We have many customers, strong revenue growth, years of runway, and backing from world-class investors. I’ll share more once we meet.
About the Role
At Maple, we’re looking for a Senior/Staff Product Designer ready to shape the future of AI-driven tools for local businesses. You’ll work side-by-side with engineers and founders, owning projects from first sketch to shipped product. If you love turning complex workflows into elegant, intuitive experiences—and have a sharp eye for quality—let’s talk.
What You’ll Do
Collaborate closely with engineering and product to drive roadmap projects from idea to launch—no assembly lines or hand-offs
Spot opportunities to refine our core UX and squash those pesky “paper cuts” that slow users down
Create crisp mockups, interactive prototypes, and high-fidelity visuals to bring ideas to life
Guide and inspire fellow designers through feedback and collaborative critique
Build and evolve our design system components for speed and consistency
Jump in on hiring to help us find the next great teammate
What We’re Looking For
7+ years designing software products (bonus points for startup or SaaS experience)
Courage to ask big questions, experiment, and advocate for quality—even when it’s hard
Humility to accept feedback, iterate quickly, and pivot when needed
Deep experience prototyping in Figma (and bonus: AI, HTML/CSS, or other tools)
A knack for distilling problems and feedback into focused, user-friendly solutions
Strong written and verbal communication skills—async is our default, but you can riff live too
How we work
We optimize for leverage. That means great internal tooling, fast CI/CD, and code that scales across many customer types
We believe in deep ownership. Engineers here talk to users, design features, and ship fast
We value clarity over process. You’ll spend most of your day building, not waiting on decisions
We move in person. We’re a tight-knit team that moves fast and solves problems together
What we offer
Competitive salary + meaningful equity
A real product with real usage and growing revenue
Strong In-person culture, fast feedback loops, and zero bureaucracy
A small team that feels like a founding team
Full health, dental, vision, 401k, life insurance, and unlimited PTO
Tools budget, coffee budget, whatever-you-need-to-be-great budget
