Product Designer

About AuthorClimb AuthorClimb is the growth desk for self-published authors. We give KDP authors one toolkit to grow their books on Amazon: keyword rank tracking, sales analytics, listing optimization, A+ Content design, category research, and reader review distribution.

We're a small, remote-first team headquartered in the Boston area, building for authors who treat their books like a business.

The brand is committed and specific (one house color, bold type, real product views over abstract illustration) and your job is to deepen it, not dilute it. You'll be the only designer, working directly with the founder and engineering, and your decisions will reach production within days.

What you'll do Own product design end to end: problem framing, flows, UI, and final polish Maintain and evolve the design system across the marketing site and the signed-in product Design data-heavy dashboard views (rank charts, sales analytics, review tracking) that stay legible under real-world data Design marketing pages, landing pages, and campaign creative that hold a strong typographic line Work hand-in-hand with engineering: specs and prototypes that translate cleanly to Tailwind-based implementation Hold the accessibility bar: WCAG 2.
