Product Designer (New Grad)

About the role

We turn messy news data into products people query every day: an API, dashboards, and docs. Your job is to make those surfaces clear, fast, and honest. As an early designer you would own real problems end to end, from first sketch to shipped screen, with a lot of trust and little process.

About NewsMesh

NewsMesh turns the world's news into clean, structured, real-time data. We ingest thousands of sources continuously, enrich every article with category, topics, people, and country relevance, and serve it through an API used by developers and, increasingly, by AI agents that discover and pay for it on their own. We are a small, senior team, and the work is measured by one thing: whether the data is right, current, and easy to use.

What you'll do

• Design flows and interfaces for our API, dashboard, and documentation
• Turn complex data problems into simple, usable screens
• Prototype, test with real users, and iterate quickly on what you learn
• Own the craft: type, spacing, and interaction that make a product feel right
• Work directly with engineers to ship, not just hand off mockups

What we look for

• A portfolio that shows clear thinking, not just polish
• Comfortable in Figma and modern prototyping tools
• Able to reason about real product problems, not only visuals
• New grad or early career; a link to your work beats a resume

Bonus points

• Interest in developer tools, data products, or information design
• Some front-end sense (HTML and CSS) so you can prototype closer to real
• Writing chops; clear copy is part of good design

Compensation

Depending on experience, the expected pay range is $120K–$150K.

What we offer

• Competitive pay, in the range listed above
• Remote across the US
• Real ownership: you will ship work customers depend on
• A small, senior team with high standards and little process

How we hire

We read every application. If there is a fit, expect a short intro call, a practical exercise rooted in the kind of work you would actually do, and a few conversations with the people you would work with. A link to something you have built beats a resume.
