Modern Realty

Founding Designer

San Francisco, US Full-time

About Us

We’re an AI native real estate brokerage that has a small, talent-dense team that is looking to expand.

The Role

As our first design hire, you'll own the visual design and user experience of our marketing pages, landing pages, and client-facing web properties. You'll work directly with our founders to create designs that convert prospects into clients and help our real estate agents close more deals. This is a hands-on role where you'll design, iterate, and ship - no massive design team or endless approval cycles.

What You'll Do

  • Design high-converting landing pages, marketing pages, and web experiences for our real estate platform
  • Create property listing pages, agent profiles, and client portals that showcase our AI-powered approach
  • Design email templates, drip campaign materials, and other communication touchpoints
  • Collaborate directly with our CEO, CTO and founding team to understand business goals and translate them into visual solutions
  • Conduct rapid testing and iteration based on conversion metrics and user feedback
  • Help establish our brand identity and design system as we scale

What We're Looking For

  • A strong portfolio showcasing landing pages and marketing sites
  • Understanding of conversion-focused design principles and best practices
  • HTML/CSS knowledge or willingness to learn - you should be able to collaborate effectively with engineering
  • Data-driven mindset: you care about metrics and are comfortable iterating based on performance
  • Comfortable working independently in a startup environment with minimal design infrastructure
  • Based in or willing to relocate to San Francisco (we work from SoMa)

Nice to have

  • Comfortable with LLMs and have played around with them
  • Front-end development skills
