About Maximor
Maximor is building the AI-powered finance team for the next generation of scaling companies – think Ramp or Perplexity, but with AI agents that close books, reconcile cash, forecast revenue, and prep board decks – all auditable, explainable, and real-time.
These agents don’t need system migrations. They plug into messy, real-world finance stacks and reason across fragmented data to deliver clean outputs instantly. No rebuilds. Just outcomes.
We are building the first unified system of action & intelligence for finance.
We’re not building another SaaS layer. We’re going after the $1T+ financial back-office problem, with infra that feels like magic and holds up to audit.
Why It’s Compelling
Raised $8.5M seed round from tier-1 VCs, the CEO of Perplexity, the authors of the GPT paper, and finance leaders from Ramp, SAP, Gusto, and others
Founded by Ajay (ACM-ICPC World Finalist, ex-Microsoft founding engineer who scaled Azure’s DNS and finance infra to handle trillions of queries and $200B+ in revenue) and Ramnandan (2x exit founder, ex-Microsoft product leader who scaled Azure data & AI products from $1M to $200M+ ARR).
What You’ll Do
As our Founding Product Designer, your fingerprints will shape the core product. This is not about following existing UX patterns but creating new ones that solve real-world challenges. If you thrive in ambiguity, have a strong point of view on product design, and can define a vision while executing fast, this is the opportunity to be a core part of something groundbreaking.
Lead the end-to-end design process for Maximor’s core product, from concept to production.
Work closely with the Founder, CPO and engineers to craft elegant UI that solves compound 0 to 1 problems
Define the information architecture for a product that has no direct comparisons, requiring first-principles thinking and innovation.
Prototype and iterate rapidly, testing ideas with design partners and customers in a fast-paced environment.
What We’re Looking For
5+ years of experience in product design, ideally in B2B SaaS, fintech, or AI.
Experience in early-stage or 0→1 product development, where there’s no playbook, and you have to define the path.
Ability to work at a systems level, designing dashboards, information architecture, and workflows that solve real customer challenges.
Strong opinions on design, coupled with the ability to challenge assumptions and think beyond existing patterns.
Ability to work cross-functionally with engineers, the CPO and founders in an iterative, feedback-driven environment.
A portfolio showcasing strong UX, product thinking, and an ability to solve complex problems through design.
Bonus Points
Experience designing for AI-driven products, fintech, or payments platforms.
Background in data visualization, dashboards, or information-heavy UX.
Exposure to AI monetization, LLMs, or agent-based technologies.
Familiarity with startups selling to other startups (where expectations for design are extremely high).
Knowledge of AI tools like v0.dev or lovable.dev
What Success Looks Like
Deeply understand the problem space, participate in customer conversations, and prototype initial flows.
Create foundational UX/UI patterns, deliver early iterations of core product interfaces, and validate designs with customers.
Own the design vision for the product, working closely with founders and engineers to launch an MVP with real-world usage.
