ABOUT US

Smith.ai builds AI voice agents that redefine how SMBs handle phone calls — allowing businesses to book appointments, take payments, and manage complex call flows without missing a beat. We serve a wide range of businesses, from law firms to home contractors and many other service-based companies, leveraging the latest in LLMs, speech-to-text, and text-to-speech to deliver human-like conversation at scale. With over 4,000 SMBs already trusting Smith.ai (and staying with us thanks to world-class retention), we’re driving the next wave of AI innovation where it matters most: real-world customer interactions. 

ABOUT THIS ROLE

This is a mid-level role. We also have a Senior role available.
As a Product Designer, you will shape and ship features of our product and internal tools, with a primary focus on growing our AI-first, human-in-the-loop AI Receptionist. (Recent examples include: Onboarding guidance so customers get the most of their accounts, simple yet powerful options for controlling AI voice conversations, and building out a suite of reporting tools for AI + human performance metrics.) You’ll work in a fast-paced, high-growth environment, balancing design fidelity and resourcing with business objectives. You'll be part of a small team, working collaboratively with the entire company.

ABOUT YOU

You’re a thoughtful and curious product designer who enjoys solving problems and creating meaningful experiences. You bring a fresh perspective and a willingness to learn from others and from experience.

  • Eager to understand how design impacts both users and business goals
  • Proactive communicator who takes initiative, even when direction is light

  • More focused on impactful progress than perfection
  • Looking for a team that supports your growth and values collaboration

HIRING PROCESS

We understand that the best designers are often too busy to carefully curate a portfolio or website.

For example: a Figma file, a Notion page, a PDF, a video - something that gives us a sense of your capabilities.

  • 15-20 minute interview with the hiring manager
  • 45-60 minute design walkthrough with the Design Team (showing 1-3 of your raw design files in a non-recorded space)
