About the role

We're solving real-time entity resolution at a scale no one else has cracked - fusing dozens of data sources into a single business identity graph and resolving any entity in milliseconds.
It's a graph AI problem, a retrieval problem, and a fraud-modeling problem stacked on top of each other.
There's no layer of process between an idea and shipping it.

Own product design end-to-end - from understanding the problem through research and stakeholder input, to shipping polished UI
Design screens, flows, and interactions for Baselayer's platform using our established design system and component library
Translate complex KYB, risk, and compliance workflows into clear, usable interfacesCollaborate closely with engineering to ensure designs are feasible, consistent, and ready for handoff
Use AI tools alongside Figma to move faster on explorations, prototypes, and design-to-code workflowsIdentify and flag UX inconsistencies across the product
contribute improvements to our design system
Participate in user research and usability testing to validate design decisions
Detail-oriented and organized - you maintain consistency across files, states, and use cases
A proactive communicator who collaborates well with product, design, and engineering
Use AI tools alongside Figma to move faster on explorations, prototypes, and design-to-code workflowsIdentify and flag UX inconsistencies across the product; contribute improvements to our design system
Career rocket fuel: You'll help build the foundation of a high-growth startup, working side by side with experienced founders and team members who've done it before

The technical depth is real.
You'd be joining a small team where the data moat is defensible, the research problems are open, and the infrastructure you build becomes load-bearing for businesses.
Ownership is real.
Velocity is real.
We're at an inflection point - the graph is built, the match rates speak for themselves, and the hardest problems are still ahead: graph embeddings, fraud propagation models across the business network, real-time traversal at sub-100ms latency, and expanding the identity layer beyond finance into every platform that needs to trust a business.
If you want to work on something foundational - the kind of infrastructure that gets built once, and everything else runs on top of - this is it.
