Job Description

About FiledFiled is building the first AI tax preparer trusted by America’s accounting firms. This industry might seem boring—but it’s a $70B backbone of the economy that’s breaking under a talent shortage no one has solved. We’re fixing it—fast.In just 9 months, we’ve hit strong product-market fit, are generating fast-growing, sticky revenue, and are backed by top-tier investors. We’re not a tool—we’re the missing workforce firms have been sounding the alarm for. We’re building the future with expanding our already 30 person team, with those who want to say “I was there when it all started.”⸻What We Should Tell You About The RoleWe’re looking for a Product Designer who loves diving deep into complex user problems, finding the real issue at the core, and exploring smart, fast solutions. You’re outcome-driven, allergic to endless wireframing, and happiest when you’re getting real feedback from real users.As our second design hire, you’ll co-own the full product experience from rough ideas to live prototypes with the team that’s redefining how tax professionals work. You’ll collaborate closely with engineering, machine learning, and users to make the impossible feel obvious.Our product and engineering team is based in Stockholm.Here’s why this is a terrible jobIf you need complete clarity before you act, or a month of research before every decision, this will be chaos. We move fast—week to week, sometimes day to day. You’ll ship things that aren’t perfect. Sometimes you’ll be wrong. That’s okay; we learn fast, adjust, and move again.You’ll have to balance quality with speed. Spending days polishing a Figma flow while the team’s waiting on you won’t work here. This is not the place for lone wolves. Every win here is shared. Every mistake, too.…and why it’s the best career choice you’ll makeYou’ll get to design something foundational—an entirely new way of doing accounting work. You’ll be one of the few people in the world who can say they helped reshape a $70B industry.You’ll work directly with founders, engineers, and users. You’ll move fast, grow faster, and see your work impact thousands of professionals who never thought their jobs could feel modern, efficient, or even fun.You’ll have the autonomy to explore, ship, and learn at startup speed—but with the support of a team that deeply cares about the craft.The teammate we’re looking forYou’ve worked at an early-stage startup and love the energy, ambiguity, and ownership it bringsYou’re a strong collaborator who thrives when engineers and designers work side by sideYou’ve got front-end knowledge to prototype your ideas (we’re trying out Lovable for this)You love talking to users and do it oftenYou take accountability for your work and your decisionsYou can navigate messy problem spaces with a structured, practical mindsetWhat you’ll be responsible forCo-owning the end-to-end user experience across Filed’s platformTranslating ambiguous problems into clear, elegant solutionsRapidly prototyping ideas and testing them with usersPartnering with engineers and PMs to ship experiences that feel effortlessBalancing speed with usability, always keeping the user at the centerEnsuring accessibility and usability best practices are baked into everything you designIf you want to build something real, fast, and far beyond pretty UI, this is it.Filed is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
