Founding Product Designer

About Trestle

We build incredible software products that obviously do a lot of good. We do this by getting close to the issue, prototyping quickly, and and acting with:

  1. Love,

  2. Humility,

  3. Taste, and

  4. Urgency

Today, we’re building Ledger.

About Ledger

Nonprofits called human service organizations (HSOs) contract with government to deliver social services like homeless shelters, after school programs, and community health programs. (HSOs earn ~$350B in revenue each year.)

Every time they provide a service, HSOs must enter data into government-built platforms. These platforms aren’t user friendly: frontline staff spend 20–30% of their time struggling to enter and re-enter information, while administrators have little visibility into or control over what data is being captured.

Ledger is a data management system purpose-built for collecting and reporting data to government. It automates data re-entry into government systems, reimagines collection through seamless workflows, and gives administrators control over collection methods. The result: a dramatic reduction in administrative burden, freeing HSOs to focus on meeting their communities’ most pressing needs.

About the role

We are seeking a founding designer who will:

  • Work with engineers to rapidly iterate on prototypes that validate and refine ideas

  • Collaborate with our design partner and the rest of the team to shape our product roadmap

  • Continuously improve how we plan, track, and execute software development

  • Assume autonomy and ownership over the design and branding of products

The best candidates

  • Act with love, humility, taste, and urgency.

  • Are genuinely energized by the opportunity to do good.

  • Have 2-5 years of experience designing products from idea to high-fidelity

Compensation range

$130K to $165K base, 0.1% to 0.25% equity
