Product Designer

About Preql

Preql is building the AI-powered financial data platform for the modern enterprise. We're developing agentic AI workflows that help finance teams clean, transform, and structure their data without writing code. Think "Lovable.com http://Lovable.com for data pipelines" - just as website builders help users refine ideas into working apps, Preql helps users refine messy, fragmented financial data into production-ready workflows using natural language.

Our customers include media companies, media networks, retailers, and manufacturers who need reliable metrics and automated reporting. The company is backed by tier 1 venture firms and previous data company founders.

THE Role

We're seeking a Product Designer to shape the user experience of our AI-powered platform. Working with the lead Product Manager and technical leadership, you'll make complex data transformation feel intuitive and trustworthy for finance teams. The role is initially part-time with flexibility to grow.

What You'll Design

• Conversational interfaces that make AI-powered data transformation feel as simple as chatting with a colleague while building sophisticated workflows behind the scenes

• Interactive workflows where users refine data cleaning through natural language feedback and see results in real time

• Dashboards and visualizations that surface transformation logic in terms finance teams understand and auditors trust

• Design systems and component libraries that scale across web applications and integrations

• Onboarding and education patterns that help non-technical users confidently adopt AI-powered tools

• KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Own end-to-end product design from discovery through high-fidelity prototypes and production handoff

• Conduct user research with finance teams to understand workflows, pain points, and mental models

• Translate complex data operations into clear, approachable interfaces

• Develop and maintain a coherent design system that balances speed with consistency

• Collaborate closely with engineering to ensure design intent survives implementation

• Participate in customer demos to observe user reactions and gather feedback firsthand

• Iterate rapidly based on product specifications and real-world usage patterns

Requirements

• 4+ years of product design experience shipping web applications

• Strong portfolio demonstrating complex workflows simplified into intuitive interfaces

• Proficiency in modern design tools (Figma preferred)

• Experience with interaction design, not just visual design—you think in flows and states

• Ability to produce everything from rough wireframes to polished, production-ready specs

• STRONG ADVANTAGES

• Nice-to-haves, but not strict requirements.

• Data/Analytics Product Experience: Previous work on dashboards, data tools, BI platforms, or analytics products

• AI/LLM Product Design: Experience designing for AI-powered features, conversational interfaces, or products with non-deterministic outputs

• Enterprise Software: Understanding of enterprise UX patterns—audit trails, permissions, bulk operations, admin workflows

• Financial Domain Knowledge: Familiarity with finance team workflows, accounting concepts, or fintech products

• Front-End Familiarity: Ability to read code, prototype in HTML/CSS, or work directly in design-to-code tools

• Founding Team Experience: Previous experience at early-stage startups where you wore multiple hats

• WHAT MAKES THIS ROLE SPECIAL

• You'll define the experience layer for a product that sits at the intersection of AI capabilities and critical business workflows. Finance teams are skeptical of AI for good reason—your work determines whether they trust it.

• Impact: Your designs directly shape whether enterprise finance teams adopt AI for their most important data

• Ownership: Small team means you own design end-to-end, not just one piece of a larger system

• Learning: Hands-on experience designing for agentic AI—a problem space with few established patterns

• TEAM & CULTURE

• Small, focused team where your contributions have immediate impact. Direct exposure to customer feedback, rapid iteration cycles, and well-funded runway to build something significant.
