Lead Product Designer, Marketplace
Circle is building the world’s leading AI-powered, all-in-one platform for digital businesses. We make it possible for creators, coaches, educators, and businesses to bring together their audience with engaging discussions, live streams, events, chat, courses, and payments — all in one place, all under their own brand.
We’re proud to be a fully remote company of around 270 (and growing!) team members from 30+ countries around the world. We seek exceptional individuals around the world, set them up to do the best work of their lives, and in turn, create a meaningful impact in their own lives. We don't track hours, but we do manage for high expectations very closely. We collaborate across time zones, are highly async, and like to document a lot.
Twice a year, we bring the whole company together in beautiful places around the world for our company offsites. So far, we’ve hosted offsites in Turkey, Portugal, Mexico, Thailand, Colombia, Italy, Ireland, and more, with still more to come!

People are looking for more than content. They're looking for growth, connection, and transformation — experiences that change how they see themselves and the world. Circle is where they find that. Not another platform optimizing for clicks and consumption — a place built around becoming something.
Discover is where Circle becomes visible to the world — the surface where creators get found and people find experiences worth their time. It's a two-sided marketplace problem spanning communities, courses, events, and more. And it's one of the most genuinely interesting design challenges on the platform.
You'll own Discover end-to-end as the lead designer: identifying opportunities, setting design direction, and shipping work that raises the bar for how discovery feels at Circle. You'll work closely with a founder-led product team that has strong vision and high standards — and you'll bring the craft, the systems thinking, and the bottom-up ideas that make that vision real.
You'll be joining a design team where context is shared openly, ownership is real, and talented people are trusted to do their best work.
This role is for designers with deep experience in consumer marketplace products — owning discovery, ranking, and engagement at scale; if your background is primarily in internal tools, CMS platforms, or growth systems, this role will not be a fit — please apply to our Core Product role instead.
Discovery is one of the hardest design problems. You're serving two audiences with opposing needs simultaneously: creators who need visibility, trust signals, and growth; and consumers who need signal through noise, confidence to commit, and experiences that deliver on their promise.
What makes this genuinely novel is AI as the core interaction model — not a filter or a recommendation widget, but the primary way Discover understands intent and surfaces what's worth someone's time. How does an AI-driven experience build trust in a marketplace? How do you make an AI-driven surface feel like a trusted recommendation from someone who knows you, not a ranked list from a system that doesn't? These are real open questions, and the quality of the answers will show up directly in the product.
We are hiring at a Lead level for this role; however, we may consider offering this position at the Senior level depending on a candidate’s experience level alignment with the role. In either case, the offer would fall within the published compensation range.
Circle offers U.S.-benchmarked compensation globally, equity in the company with ongoing refresh grants, and 35 days of paid time off each year.
We’re a remote-only team that comes together twice a year for company retreats in incredible destinations around the world. Alongside incredible flexibility and autonomy, we offer a benefits package that supports health, wellbeing, and professional growth. Learn more in our Candidate Hub.

Full-time team members receive 35 working days of paid time off each year. They may roll over up to 18 unused days into the following year.
US employees are offered Cigna coverage through Remote PEO, with Circle covering up to $2,670 per month for medical plans and fully covering dental and vision. Outside the US, monthly reimbursement limits are $250 for an individual, $500 with one dependent, and $750 with two or more dependents.
Circle provides a technology and home-office stipend of $3,000 for technical roles and $2,150 for nontechnical roles, renewed every three years. It also provides up to $500 per year for role-related books, subscriptions, courses, and learning materials.
Circle provides 12 weeks of paid leave for birthing parents, 6 weeks for bonding parents, and 3 additional days of bereavement leave. After five years, team members earn 2 additional weeks of paid leave for a sabbatical, usable within two years of the anniversary.
Circle says it benchmarks compensation to US rates regardless of where an employee lives. New hires also receive equity, with refresh grants available after two years and additional grants tied to performance or promotion.
Circle says candidates receive $500 to $1,000 for assessments expected to require at least five hours, depending on the time commitment.
