Job description
About Cardinal
Cardinal is building the AI platform for precision outbound.
We help the best companies run world-class sales — combining data, AI, and execution into one system that actually drives revenue.
- $1M ARR run rate in ~2 months
- ~$80k MRR and growing fast
- Backed by Y Combinator
- Built by 2x YC founders (Harvard + MIT + Prod)
We’re moving fast, closing top customers, and becoming the default outbound stack for the best teams.
The Role
This is not a normal design role.
You’re not just designing - you’re:
- Defining how the product feels end-to-end
- Owning the entire user experience (from first impression → daily usage)
- Turning complex workflows into simple, intuitive interfaces
- Acting as a bridge between product, engineering, and growth
This role is core to the company.
Design directly impacts how fast we grow.
What You’ll Do
- Own product UX across the entire platform (0 → 1 and beyond)
- Design and ship in Framer (site updates, landing pages, growth pages)
- Turn messy workflows into clean, intuitive UX
- Create one-pagers, sales collateral, and marketing assets
- Produce videos and visual content for product + growth
- Improve onboarding and time-to-value (first response is everything)
- Work closely with founders + engineers to ship fast
- Continuously iterate based on real user feedback
Who You Are
We’re looking for scrappy, high-agency builders who care deeply about product.
You might be:
- A former founder
- An early designer at a startup
- Someone who has built and shipped products end-to-end
You:
- Have strong product taste and high standards
- Are extremely hands-on (you design and think in systems)
- Move fast and don’t wait for perfect specs
- Care about how things work, not just how they look
- Can simplify complex problems into clear UX
- Want to win — and are willing to hustle for it
