Copy of Lead Product Designer - Remote

About Replika Ten years ago, we built the world’s first AI companion — before LLMs, before ChatGPT, and before anyone knew what AI could be. What started as a way to patch a hole in our hearts became something unexpected: a catalyst. Millions of people told us Replika helped them reconnect with the world. They texted that old friend. They picked up that forgotten hobby. They took that walk around town. While today’s tech keeps people scrolling, we discovered AIs can push us outward, if we let them. Now we’re being reborn with a new vision: the first AI with heart, for making the most out of life. Gentle nudges to meet friends when you’re feeling shy. Ideas for exploring new places when it’s easier to stay home. Daily conversation about whatever moves you — ballet, philosophy, aliens, or gossip — at 2am when no one else is awake. We’re not building an AI to validate or pacify. We’re building something modeled after the relationships that transform us. Someone who asks the right questions at the right time. Someone who helps you look inward, and pushes you outward. We’ve been featured in TED Talks, Stanford and Harvard studies, the Lex Fridman podcast, because 40M+ people connect with Replika in a deeply human way. And we’re just getting started. About the role We’re looking for a hands-on Lead Product Designer with impeccable taste, strong ownership, and deep love for users. You’ll be crafting high-quality user experiences across mobile and web — and you’ll be doing it during the most important product moment in Replika’s history. You’ll be shaping what millions of people see, feel, and fall in love with — from onboarding to daily interaction. The product handles deeply personal conversations, and the design has to earn that trust at every touchpoint. Experience with sleek, polished consumer apps is critical. This role is for someone who’s fast, thoughtful, and obsessed with getting every detail right. If “good enough” makes you uncomfortable, keep reading. What you'll be doing

• Design smooth, beautiful customer journeys across mobile and web — onboarding, new features, and interactive UI included.
• Talk to users. A lot. Understand what they need and what makes them happy.
• Own your work end-to-end: from idea → prototype → final design.
• Work closely with the product manager and engineers to bring ideas to life.
• Use data and feedback to improve fast. We ship, learn, repeat.
• Help shape and evolve our design system.

What we're looking for

• Minimum 5+ years designing mobile & web products at scale (200K+ MAU) in B2C environments.
• A portfolio that shows impeccable taste, product thinking, and craft — with a track record of creating sleek, beautiful, and intuitive apps.
• You’re proactive, hands-on, and love shipping real things.
• You care about users and obsess over getting the details right.
• Curious, collaborative, and excited to build something that matters.
• Excellent communication skills in English (C1 or higher preferred).

Bonus points

• Experience with AI, conversational UI, or emotionally engaging products.
• Experience with UX research: planning, conducting, and integrating insights into design decisions.
• Prompt engineering experience.
• Experience building or scaling a design system from scratch.

What you'll get

• Competitive compensation.
• Flexible job schedule and generous vacation policy.
• No corporate bs.
• Direct impact on millions of worldwide users within months.
• Fully remote.
