Founding Designer
At emfas, we are building the future of AI-driven product catalog management. We aim to do this by gathering a small team of exceptional individuals who are all obsessed over building an amazing product. We are now looking for a founding designer to play a key role in building this team.
Who we are looking for
We're seeking candidates who:
- Are obsessed with understanding user needs and solving real problems, not just making things look pretty
- Can work end-to-end from user research and wireframes to high-fidelity designs and implementation support
- Think systematically about information architecture, workflows, and complex data interactions
- Communicate effectively with customers to uncover pain points and validate solutions
- Ship quickly and iterate based on real user feedback rather than waiting for pixel-perfect designs
- Have a strong portfolio demonstrating experience designing complex B2B or data-heavy applications
- Are comfortable with ambiguity and excel at defining problems before solving them
The role
As a founding designer, you will work side-by-side with the founders in building our design culture and product experience. You will have the opportunity to shape the future of AI in e-commerce by:
- Conducting user research to deeply understand the workflows and pain points of e-commerce teams managing product catalogs
- Designing intuitive interfaces that make complex AI-driven automation feel like superpowers
- Designing AI interactions that earn trust—confidence states, human-in-the-loop reviews, batch actions, fallbacks, and clear explainability when the model is unsure
- Creating and evolving our design system to ensure consistency as we scale
- Collaborating directly with engineers to ensure designs are implemented with high fidelity
- Contributing to product strategy and roadmap planning
- Setting design standards and practices for future design team members
Other
- Tools: Figma, with willingness to get hands-on with HTML/CSS when needed
- Location: In-person at our office in central Stockholm
- Compensation: We provide a competitive salary + significant stock options program
- Locations

About Emfas
We're building the future of AI-driven product information management (PIM). We're reimagining how e-commerce brands manage and optimize their product data by placing AI workflows at the core of our product. Our mission is to transform the traditional PIM space with intelligent automation that helps companies scale their product catalogs efficiently.
We are growing extremely quickly in the Nordics and UK despite having launched early 2025. Leading brands such as Nudie Jeans, Djerf Avenue and A Retro Tale use our platform to leverage AI at scale. Now we are looking to grow our team to keep expanding globally.
