Staff Product Designer - Foundry

We’re seeking a Staff Product Designer to join a new team at HubSpot, Foundry. 

Where You’ll Work

• Location: Remote - Seattle, SF 
• Alternate location: Remote / Hybrid
• Travel: Approximately monthly to Seattle/SF for in-person team or AI industry events. 

About the Role

As a Product Designer on the Foundry team, you will design emerging products that solve real GTM jobs for small businesses - fast. 

You will build and experiment at the edge of what AI makes possible, putting early versions in front of real founders to find what works, and scaling what resonates into products that earn a place in every SMB’s stack.

You’ll ship working products to real users weekly, work directly with AI models and APIs, and make design decisions that prioritize learning velocity over perfection.

This is a full-stack, AI-native building role. You’ll design systems that combine deterministic workflows with agentic reasoning, build products that handle unstructured data and messy real-world inputs, and iterate based on what customers actually do. You should be as comfortable prompting a model as you are designing a feature.

About Foundry

HubSpot Foundry is a small, focused team with a singular mission: win the next generation of small businesses by building where small businesses start. The Foundry team operates autonomously, with a builder mindset, weekly shipping, and founder-level ownership. 

We are building and experimenting at the edge of what AI makes possible, putting early versions in front of real founders to find what works, and scaling what resonates into products that earn a place in every SMB’s stack.

We build standalone modules that solve single go-to-market jobs exceptionally well, deliver value in minutes, and expand naturally into the full HubSpot platform. Foundry builds a portfolio of modules for critical go-to-market use cases - including creating agent teammates that help teams get discovered in the AI era, find and qualify prospects, and automate human tasks.

What We Look for Across All Foundry Roles

Foundry is for builders who want to move fast, learn from customers, and thrive in ambiguity to get things done. Regardless of your role, you should bring:

• AI-native fluency. You use AI daily,  not as a novelty, but as infrastructure. You have a deep understanding of what models can and can’t do, where they break, and how to design around those limits. You’ve built with LLMs, agents, or AI-powered products and have strong intuitions about product building. 
• A hacker spirit. You prototype before you plan. You’d rather test an idea with real users this week than spend a month getting alignment. You love solving puzzles and are comfortable writing code, hacking together demos, or getting your hands dirty with data.
• First-principles thinking. You navigate ambiguity by going back to what’s true, not what’s been done before. You find simple, easy-to-understand solutions to complex problems and you’re willing to throw out playbooks when the situation demands it.
• Deep user empathy for small businesses. You understand what it’s like to wear multiple hats, to be the same person qualifying leads, running sales calls, and managing the website. You are passionate about building for small businesses or founders, and helping them grow. 
• Intellectual curiosity without ego. You’re comfortable asking questions and learning independently. You think creatively about the risks and benefits of new technologies, moving beyond past checklists. You’d rather be right than be the one who was right.
• Founder-level ownership. You don’t wait for permission. You experiment, you ship products, you get things done. You get energy from ambiguity and rapid change. You’ve built something from zero before or you’ve been the person who made something work when nobody had the answer.

 

As a Staff Product Designer, you’ll:

• Design end-to-end product experiences—from initial concept through launch and iteration<
