Product Designer, Design Systems

About Us:

Fieldguide is establishing a new state of trust for global commerce and capital markets through automating and streamlining the work of assurance and audit practitioners specifically within cybersecurity, privacy, and ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance). Put simply, we build software for the people who enable trust between businesses.

We’re based in San Francisco, CA and backed by top investors including Bessemer Venture Partners, 8VC, Floodgate, Y Combinator, DNX Ventures, Global Founders Capital, Justin Kan, Elad Gil, and more.

We value diversity — in backgrounds and in experiences. We need people from all backgrounds and walks of life to help build the future of audit and advisory. Fieldguide’s team is inclusive, driven, humble and supportive. We are deliberate and self-reflective about the kind of team and culture that we are building, seeking teammates that are not only strong in their own aptitudes but care deeply about supporting each other's growth.

As an early stage start-up employee, you’ll have the opportunity to build out the future of business trust. We make audit practitioners’ lives easier by eliminating up to 50% of their work and giving them better work-life balance. If you share our values and enthusiasm for building a great culture and product, you will find a home at Fieldguide.

About the Role

We’re hiring a Product Designer to help lead the evolution of Fieldguide’s design system and support product teams across the company through horizontal design work.

This role is ideal for a junior designer who is excited to learn how high-quality products get built — not just designed — and who wants hands-on experience defining UI foundations, working closely with engineers, and shipping production-ready components.

You’ll play a key role in shaping the building blocks of our product, from defining component behaviors and interaction states to helping align Figma and Storybook. You’ll also partner with product teams to support overflow projects, applying user-centered design practices across a variety of workflows.

About the Team

You’ll join Fieldguide’s Product Design team and work closely with Design, Product, and Engineering partners across the organization.

This role works horizontally, meaning you’ll collaborate with multiple product teams rather than being embedded in a single feature area. You’ll also partner closely with engineers responsible for frontend infrastructure and component development.

Because Fieldguide is an AI-first company, many of the patterns you’ll help define will support AI-assisted workflows, data-rich interfaces, and complex review experiences.

What You’ll Do

• Help define, build, and maintain Fieldguide’s design system foundations, including components, patterns, and interaction states

• Partner closely with Engineering to ensure alignment between Figma and Storybook, contributing to shared understanding and implementation quality

• Document component usage, behaviors, and best practices to support consistency and reuse

• Learn and apply Fieldguide’s design-to-development cadence, shipping work that is practical, scalable, and production-ready

• Support product teams through horizontal design contributions, helping unblock overflow work and maintain design quality

• Apply user-centered design practices to smaller product initiatives, incorporating feedback and iteration

• Assist in designing AI-assisted UI patterns with a focus on clarity, trust, and usability

• Participate in design critiques, reviews, and collaboration across the design team

• Continuously improve craft through feedback, mentorship, and hands-on execution

Who You Are

• You’re early in your product design career and excited to build strong fundamentals

• You’re curious about how design systems work and want hands-on experience building and maintaining one

• You enjoy collaborating closely with engineers and learning how designs translate into code

• You’re comfortable working across multiple projects and shifting context as needed

• You care deeply about consistency, usability, and quality in UI

• You’re interested in AI-powered products and how AI shows up in real user workflows

• You’re open to feedback, eager to learn, and motivated by growth through doing
