Technology Talent for Ireland’s Most Ambitious Companies

Arda is seeking senior product designers to help build the future of manufacturing in the USA. If you’re looking to solve hard problems that matter, own end-to-end workflows, and ship high-quality software that will define how things get made, we’d love to meet you! BLUF Great role for an experienced (4+ years) product designer wanting to take on complex design challenges in a fast-paced startup environment. Should be able to own hard design problems independently at a high quality bar, bring systems thinking across design system + platform IA, and comfortable shipping in an AI-native, agentic workflow. Could be a designer from a company like Palantir, a high-velocity B2B/enterprise startup, or a similar environment where they've shipped software fast and grown quickly. Probably not: an agency designer, a pure-visual/brand designer, or an [exclusively] consumer/mobile app designer. Expected Activities This hire will be expected to engage flexibly across initiatives. Project execution — own the day-to-day of executing projects across feature sets, especially the challenging design problems, at a high quality bar with limited oversight. Design system management — contribute to maintaining and extending our component library (both atoms and bits), and help scale agentic design — rules, skills, etc. — for agents building Arda features. Platform design — information architecture, core patterns, and tending to the Arda design garden as a whole so individual features strengthen the system rather than fragment it. Ship in code — Arda designers work in an agentic, AI-native way and are comfortable shipping code. Not expected to always own end-to-end implementation, but should be fluent enough to prototype in code and contribute production changes rather than handing off static mocks. Characteristics SF or NYC-based — should be willing to travel a bit and interested in getting onsite, but no more than ~10% High agency / thrives with limited oversight — can be handed a hard, underspecified problem and drive it to a high-quality shipped outcome without close direction. Strong interaction design — Arda is tricky software with many surfaces and patterns; handles that gracefully with attention to state, flow, and edge cases. Systems thinking — understands how a design system and platform IA hold together, and designs individual features so they reinforce the whole. Strong taste and quality bar — sweats the details that make dense enterprise software feel clear and inevitable rather than complicated. Comfort with ambiguity — energized rather than stalled by open-ended, fast-moving problem spaces. Appetite to grow — we’re in a brave new design world, and we’ll need someone willing to reinvent their processes, workflow, etc. to accommodate an agentic world Potential backgrounds Product designer at a high-velocity B2B/enterprise startup who's owned complex, stateful surfaces end to end Palantir (or similar) designer used to shipping dense enterprise software fast, wanting more ownership Probably not: agency designer, pure-visual/brand designer, or consumer/mobile app designer Interview process Round 1 Pierce 30 min behavioral screen Pierce 1 hr portfolio review Round 2 Alex 1 hr behavioral screen 2-day work trial Work trial that will revolve around a scoped but ambiguous design challenge Arda is seeking senior product designers to help build the future of manufacturing in the USA.

Growth Lead Location: London (5 days a week in the office) | Full-time, permanent | Competitive salary and equity About LightWork LightWork is building the AI system of action for UK lettings and estate agencies. We sit on top of the agent's CRM and run the operational work (prospecting, viewings, maintenance, compliance, arrears). A lot of that work runs through Felicity, our voice agent, who answers the phone when the branch can't. The Role This is our founding Growth hire. You own the growth function and build the team behind you. The product works. The market doesn't know yet. Residential agents are busy, sceptical, and they have been pitched twelve "AI" tools this year that all overclaimed. The job is to cut through that: find the message that makes an agent lean in, build the engine that puts LightWork in front of every agency in the country, and make it the first name they say when they think about AI for their business. This is a build-it role, not a run-the-machine role. If you want a finished playbook and a budget to deploy, this isn't it. If you want to author the demand and the story for a company building a category, it is for you. What You'll Do • Set the positioning and the message that makes a busy, sceptical letting agent lean in, and prove it lands. • Build the demand engine: content, events, organic, founder-led and paid social. You'll have significant autonomy to define our GTM approach as well as execute it. • Own the funnel from first touch to qualified demo, and hand sales a consistent flow they can work on. • Get close to the customer: talk to agents, sit on sales calls, and turn what you hear into the message and the campaigns that drive results. • Every channel you build gets measured. You know what's working, why, and what to do about it. • Hire and build a small team behind you once the motion is working and the playbook is there. Who You Are • You've built demand from near-zero in a vertical or SMB B2B market, and you can point to the direct contributions that led to success. • You're comfortable selling something the market doesn't yet know it needs, to a non-technical, time-poor, sceptical buyer. • You move fast and run lean, with the initiative to solve the problems that come up. • Hands-on with AI. You've actually used LLMs or agents in your own work: a Custom GPT, a Zapier flow with an LLM step, a prompt-engineered workflow, a side project. If not yet, you'll get there before you start and show us by week 2. Don't Apply If You need a big budget and a team in place before you can perform; you've only ever tuned an existing funnel; you'd rather manage agencies and vendors than make the work; or "the playbook isn't written yet" is a dealbreaker. This is a from-scratch founding seat. That's the whole point, and it should be what excites you. LightWork AI | Growth Lead | 1 of 2 The Deal This is a permanent, full-time, ground-floor role, based in our London office five days a week. We're live and generating revenue, but early, and honest about it: you're here to build the growth and marketing side, not to inherit one. Compensation is discussed and finalised at offer. What Good Looks Like • Month 1: you know the market as well as we do, or better. Twenty agents spoken to, sales calls sat on, and the one sentence that makes an agent care, proven to land. • Month 3: new positioning and site narrative live, and a repeatable, measurable flow of qualified agency demos sales can work. • Month 6: marketing-sourced pipeline is a measurable share of new business, with payback you can show on the first paying cohorts. • Month 12: LightWork is a name agents recognise, a small team is in place, and we pull demand rather than push it.
