About TierZero
TierZero builds tools that help engineering teams manage code in production. While AI has sped up code creation, deploying that code still brings challenges. TierZero focuses on faster incident response, clear operational visibility, and better knowledge sharing among engineers.
With $7M in funding from investors including Accel and SV Angel, TierZero supports high-scale systems for companies such as Discord, Drata, and Framer. The goal: help teams build strong infrastructure for an AI-driven engineering world.
Role Overview: Founding Product Designer
This is a hands-on role shaping TierZero’s core product experience from the ground up. As the first product designer, work directly with the CEO, CTO, and engineering team. Expect close collaboration with customers to ensure design choices are not just visually appealing, but essential to how the system works and builds user trust.
What You Will Do
- Design workflows and dashboards for AI agents involved in incident investigations and production troubleshooting.
- Turn complex system behaviors into clear, dependable user experiences.
- Set guidelines and patterns so automation remains safe, reversible, and predictable.
- Partner with engineers to shape product decisions, defaults, and how failures are handled, not just the visuals.
- Create dense, information-rich interfaces for engineers working under time pressure.
- Define how humans interact with, monitor, and collaborate alongside AI agents.
- Develop interaction models for multi-step workflows that involve both people and AI.
- Iterate quickly on designs using feedback from real incidents and on-call use cases.
- Contribute across the company, from product strategy to sales demos and onboarding flows.
Why Join TierZero?
- Work with a team led by a CEO with multiple successful exits and a CTO who spent a decade at Databricks leading AI efforts. The engineering team includes staff-level talent from Databricks, Brex, LinkedIn, Niantic, Nextdoor, and 11x.
