🌟 Join us as a
Founding Product Designer
in a brand-new Factorial product!
We’re building a
completely new startup inside Factorial
. We’re on a mission to rethink how companies manage
workflows, org charts, policies, and analytics
, the core of what defines Factorial.
This new team has one goal:
take the product from €0 to €100M in revenue by 2030
. That's not a typo, and yes, we know how hard that sounds. If a target like that makes you want to run instead of sign up, this probably isn't your role. If it makes you lean in, keep reading.
The good news?
We’re not starting from scratch
. With
+15,000 existing customers
, we have a massive opportunity for
immediate upselling
, supported by a
dedicated GTM team
.
You’ll be joining
from day 0
, in an environment where the tech stack matters far less than your ability to build fast, adapt quickly, and shape something entirely new.
Expect a different pace than the rest of Factorial:
fast, high-energy, full of things to create, fix, and define
. If you thrive in creative chaos, love building from the ground up, and enjoy the vibe of small, scrappy startups more than corporate settings, you’re going to feel right at home.
We’re particularly interested in candidates with strong experience designing
end-to-end product experiences
, from early discovery and research through to high-fidelity designs and implementation with engineering. You should be comfortable working closely with Product Managers and Engineers to turn ambiguous problems into simple, elegant solutions.
That said, we’re not looking for a long list of tools or frameworks. What matters most is your excitement to
build products from scratch
,
shape the foundations of a design practice
, and have a
real impact
on both users and the business.
The Product Design team at large 🙌🏼
At Factorial, we have a team of +30 very talented Product Designers.
We look for smart people who are curious, proactive and have great communication skills.

How We Work (Barcelona Office) 💻

office-first, flexible approach (80%-20%)
