The warranty industry looks like it was designed in 1990. Because it was.

Confusing flows. Dense legalese. Dashboards that tell partners nothing useful. We're changing what auto warranties feel like from the inside out, and that starts with design that actually respects the people using it.

Fair Warranty is a Series A startup. We have a working platform, real partners, and real customers. What we don't have yet is a design voice that matches the product we're building. That's where you come in.

This starts as a contract engagement. If it's the right fit on both sides, we want you here full-time.

What you'll work on

Our product spans two audiences: everyday drivers who need to understand their coverage without a law degree, and B2B partners who need to configure, sell, and manage that coverage through our platform. Both deserve better design than the industry has ever given them.

You'll own the design layer across:

  • Partner and admin dashboards. Configuration UIs, reporting views, onboarding flows. Complex workflows that need to feel simple
  • Customer-facing product. Quote to bind to pay. Coverage explanations. Claims. Drip Campaigns. The moments where trust is either earned or lost
  • Developer-facing surfaces. API documentation, sandbox tooling, integration guides. Yes, developers need good UX too
  • Design system. We need one. You'll help build it

What this actually looks like day to day

You'll work closely with the CEO, the Platform Lead, Sr Frontend engineer and our TPM. You'll move fast and make real decisions. We're not looking for someone to make things pretty after the fact. We need a designer in the room when flows are being defined, when edge cases surface, when a partner says "this is confusing."

You're fluent in both strategy and craft. You can map a user journey and then go design the screen. You can push back on a requirement that creates a bad experience and propose something better.

What you bring (Must haves)

  • 4+ years of UX/UI design experience shipping real production products, not just concepts
  • A portfolio that shows you can handle complexity. Multi-step flows, data-heavy interfaces, products used by more than one type of user
  • Strong visual design fundamentals. Typography, spacing, hierarchy, color. You sweat the details because the details matter
  • Figma fluency. This is our tool
  • Ability to work autonomously on a small team without a lot of structure handed to you
  • Clear communication. You can explain your decisions, take feedback, and move fast

What stands out

  • Experience designing fintech, insurtech, or B2B SaaS products
  • Experience building or contributing to a design system from scratch
  • Comfort designing developer-facing surfaces (docs, portals, API tooling)
  • Familiarity with React component thinking. You don't need to code, but you understand how your designs get built

What the first 90 days look like

You get deep on the product fast. You identify the highest-leverage design gaps and start closing them. Partners and customers start having experiences that feel like Fair actually thought about them. The team has a design voice they can rely on.

If we're doing this right, the conversation about going full-time starts before 90 days is up.
