• Translate ownership and protection- fingerprinting, C2PA provenance, ownership certificates, and rights status — into clear, calm product experiences
• Own the client review experience, including frame-accurate comments, voice notes, and guest review links that work without an account
• Own pricing, checkout, subscription, and creator payout experiences, with clarity and trust at every payment moment
• Design and build the licensing and consent experience, including per-file opt-in for AI training licensing, licensing collections, and creator earnings
• Create and maintain a reusable design system and component patterns across the platform

• Production experience with Stripe, including Checkout, Subscriptions, and Webhooks
• Experience designing API-first products, with a strong understanding of objects, permissions, states, webhooks, and integrations
• Experience with image and video processing workflows, including transcoding, thumbnails and previews, metadata extraction, fingerprinting, and adaptive playback
• Experience designing for trust, security, and privacy, including secure sharing, signed links, role-based access, workspace permissions, and abuse prevention
• Expert-level Figma skills and production front-end skills in modern React and TypeScript, with component systems such as Tailwind or equivalent
• A portfolio of live, shipped products, supported by live code, GitHub, or other builds that you both designed and built
• A strong systems mindset, with the ability to make complex concepts such as rights, provenance, and licensing feel simple for creators
• you have spent five to ten years inside a large, design-led technology, creator platform, or entertainment company building products at scale where craft, storytelling, privacy, and simplicity mattered
• ideally Stripe Connect and split payouts or revenue share
• Experience at a design-led creator platform, a major media or entertainment studio, or a privacy-focused consumer technology company is a strong plus
