Product Designer

About Brick...

Brick is transforming how people interact with technology—helping people minimize distractions, reclaim focus, and live more intentionally. Our physical device and companion app turn smartphones from sources of distraction into tools for presence and productivity.

We’re on a mission to help people take back control of their time and attention so they can focus on what matters most—and we’re building a team of thoughtful, driven people to make that happen.

We are scaling rapidly and are building out a robust cloud platform that supports mobile clients, hardware devices, analytics, personalization, and real-time features.

Job Summary / About the Role

Brick is looking for a Product Designer to join our growing technology team. This is an early design hire who will work closely with engineering, product, and marketing to shape how Brick looks, feels, and works.

You’ll be hands-on in the design process: researching customer needs, defining flows, prototyping, and shipping polished experiences. But you’ll also help grow the design system, influence product strategy, and bring creativity to a company that blends technology, retail, and hospitality.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-moving startup, is comfortable with ambiguity, and loves crafting elegant solutions to complex problems.

Location

This role is based in our Chicago office, with an expectation of 3 days per week in person. Given the cross-functional nature of this work, in-person collaboration is a core part of how we operate — with flexibility to work from home as needed.

What You’ll Do

• Own end-to-end design for key product features (research, flows, wireframes, visual polish).
• Partner with product managers and engineers to define problems and explore solutions.
• Evolve Brick’s design system for consistency, speed, and scalability.
• Contribute to customer research and usability testing to inform decisions.
• Translate brand identity into digital experiences that feel delightful and trustworthy.
• Advocate for design quality while balancing speed and pragmatism in a startup environment.
• Collaborate across teams (marketing, ops, retail) to bring a unified Brick experience to life.

What You’ll Need to Have

• Strong tenure / experience designing digital products (startup or consumer app experience a plus).
• Portfolio that shows strong product thinking, visual design, and interaction craft.
• Ability to move fluidly between wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity designs.
• Strong collaboration skills with engineers, PMs, and stakeholders.
• Comfort with ambiguity and eagerness to iterate quickly.
• Experience with Figma. Motion/animation/illustration skills are a plus.

The base salary range for this role is $150,000–$200,000, depending on experience and qualifications.

What we care about

We’re building a team of people who take ownership, move with focus, and care deeply about the quality and impact of their work. We hold a high bar, prioritize what matters, and believe the best ideas come from thoughtful, driven individuals who are trusted to execute.

Compensation & benefits

We offer competitive compensation, meaningful equity, and comprehensive benefits for you and your family. We also prioritize flexibility, time to recharge, and a culture that supports both high performance and sustainable work.

If you’re excited about our mission and this role, we’d love to hear from you.
