Descrizione del lavoro
About Adaptive
Adaptive is a vertical AI company of 50 people creating an agentic operating system for the $2 trillion U.S. construction sector. The company serves more than 1,000 customers, works with 50+ accounting firms, and has secured $26 million in funding from Emergence, a16z, and other leading investors.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This is a chance to help define a category that is still wide open. Construction remains one of the least digitized industries, and there is not yet a clear AI leader. With strong momentum, a focused team, and major investor backing, Adaptive is positioned to become that leader.
You will help build a durable advantage by improving complex workflows across an industry that still relies heavily on paper, email, and phone calls. Each workflow the company automates creates unique data, and that data strengthens future products and expands the platform over time.
You will also join a team with a rare mix of construction expertise and AI fluency. That combination spans finance, technology, and construction backgrounds, giving the company the range needed to solve hard industry problems.
Adaptive’s work supports the people who build the places around us, from local cafés and neighborhood homes to large-scale skyscrapers in New York City.
Role Overview
Adaptive is looking for its second product designer to help shape the next stage of the product. The role focuses on creating thoughtful, user-centered experiences for small-business builders across the U.S.
Reporting to the Lead Designer, you will work closely with a Product Manager and engineering partners to design and deliver major product features, including AI agents that automate back-office construction work. You will help define product experiences, strengthen the design system, and conduct research to confirm that the team is solving the right problems.
Responsibilities
- Take ownership of product features from early concept through final release, working closely with product and engineering teams.
- Plan and participate in user research and usability testing to check assumptions and improve the product experience.
- Help build, maintain, and improve the design system so the platform stays coherent and can scale effectively.
- Work with cross-functional stakeholders to balance user needs, business priorities, and the overall product direction.
Experience & Skills
- 3 to 5 years of experience in product design, preferably within a SaaS company or startup.
- Strong command of UX/UI design, user research methods, and design systems.
- Proven ability to manage projects independently from idea stage to delivery.
- Clear communication and strong storytelling ability, with comfort collaborating across product and engineering functions.
- Ability to adapt quickly in changing processes and to design for an AI-native product environment.
What We Offer
- Competitive compensation along with meaningful equity ownership.
- Full health coverage, including medical, dental, and vision insurance.
- 401(k) matching and a flexible PTO policy.
- The opportunity to play a visible role in a fast-growing vertical AI startup.
- Room for long-term professional development and leadership growth.

This is an in-office role based in Union Square, New York. The schedule requires working Monday through Thursday from the office.
