Description
ABOUT TAXWIRE Taxwire is building the last global indirect-tax platform finance teams will ever need. We help companies understand their tax exposure, calculate and collect the right amount, automate registrations and filings, and stay compliant as they grow across jurisdictions. Indirect tax is high-stakes, fragmented, and unforgiving. Rules change constantly, vary by product and location, and create real financial risk when companies get them wrong. We hire people with high ownership, strong judgment, and low ego. Everyone at Taxwire is expected to understand the customer, solve messy problems end to end, and build systems that scale. We move quickly because our customers depend on us to get it right. We’ve raised approximately $25 million, serve hundreds of SMB and mid-market companies, and continue to win customers away from legacy providers. We’re proud to have had zero churn to date. If you want to solve a massive, permanent problem alongside experienced tax experts and product builders, Taxwire is the place to do it.   ABOUT THE ROLE We’re looking for a skilled, experienced, and motivated Founding Product Designer to join our team. This role is focused on product design and UX, with opportunities to shape both product and brand from the ground up. Experience owning product work is a plus. You’ll work closely with our founders, engineers, and tax SMEs to design intuitive, fast, and powerful user experiences. Our product spans self-serve onboarding, data visualization, integrations, and interfaces that help customers configure and automate compliance across hundreds of jurisdictions. You’ll play a central role in shaping the core UX of our platform and making complexity feel simple and trustworthy. This is a great role for someone who craves impact and ownership, and loves turning gnarly, abstract workflows into clear, polished software.   WHAT YOU’LL DO - Lead the end-to-end design of Taxwire’s core product surfaces — from user onboarding and dashboards to workflow tools and internal ops interfaces. - Translate complex compliance logic and tax rules into intuitive interfaces that users can trust and understand. - Partner with engineers to rapidly prototype and ship polished features. - Develop a product design system that’s scalable, accessible, and consistent across use cases. - Collaborate with tax specialists to understand the real-world edge cases and regulatory nuance our product must support. - Help evolve and define the company’s visual identity and voice across product, marketing, and internal tools. - Create UX that balances speed, clarity, and trust — especially for workflows involving financial and regulatory risk. - Contribute to product strategy, roadmap planning, and customer research alongside the founders.   WHAT YOU NEED 5–10 years of professional product design experience, with a strong portfolio of shipped work (especially B2B, fintech, or data-heavy tools). Experience designing for complex workflows, backend systems, or enterprise use cases. Strong systems thinking — you’re comfortable designing scalable, reusable components and patterns. Excellent interaction design and visual design skills. You know what great UX looks and feels like. Ability to prototype quickly and work closely with engineers to get things built right. Clear, thoughtful communicator — especially in writing. We’re a writing-first company. A deep sense of ownership. You’re proactive, biased toward action, and don’t need to be told what to do. Bonus: experience designing for regulated or trust-critical domains (e.g. finance, healthcare, payroll, tax). Bonus: comfort doing light brand design (e.g. decks, website, marketing assets) in the early days.   NICE TO HAVE - Experience designing for regulated or trust-critical domains such as finance, healthcare, payroll, or tax - Comfort doing light brand design—including decks, website, and marketing a
