About Henry Labs:

Henry Labs is building the infrastructure layer for agentic commerce — enabling AI agents and affiliate platforms to complete purchases on behalf of users through real merchant checkout flows.

Our core product is an embedded checkout experience (think Shop Pay / Stripe Link, but designed for AI-initiated transactions) that prioritizes trust, speed, and clarity across thousands of merchants.

Design is central to our moat. We’re looking for a designer who can help us define how checkout should feel in a world where AI acts on a user’s behalf.

The Role:

We’re looking for a Product Designer to own the design of our checkout modal and core product surfaces. This is not a “make it pretty” role — you’ll be shaping flows that sit at the intersection of payments, trust, automation, and UX.

You’ll work closely with the founders and front-end engineers to go from PRD → research → concepts → production-ready designs, and help define design patterns that scale across merchants and use cases.

What You’ll Do:

• Design the Henry Labs checkout modal, drawing inspiration from products like Shop Pay and Stripe Link while pushing toward a more modern, elegant, and agent-native experience

• Own design end-to-end: research, ideation, wireframes, high-fidelity UI, interaction states, and edge cases

• Translate PRDs into thoughtful UX flows, while also challenging assumptions and proposing better solutions

• Conduct lightweight design research (competitive analysis, user journey mapping, trust cues, UX heuristics)

• Partner closely with front-end engineers to ensure designs are technically feasible and production-ready

• Define and evolve design systems, components, and interaction patterns as the product matures

• Design for complex constraints: security, trust, payments, latency, and automation — without sacrificing elegance

What We’re Looking For:

• Strong product intuition and deep understanding of user experience, especially in high-trust flows (checkout, payments, authentication, onboarding)

• Ability to work independently from a PRD, sourcing your own inspiration and forming clear design opinions

• High bar for visual design, typography, spacing, and interaction polish

• Technically fluent — comfortable discussing implementation details with front-end engineers and understanding constraints

• Experience designing production software (B2B, fintech, consumer, or infra-adjacent products is a plus)

• Clear communicator who can explain design decisions and tradeoffs

Nice to Have:

• Experience designing checkout, payments, fintech, or identity flows

• Familiarity with design systems and component-driven design

• Experience working at startups or on early-stage products

• Comfort designing for both consumer and developer-adjacent surfaces

Tools

• Figma (required)

• Comfort collaborating with engineers using modern front-end stacks (React, component libraries, etc.)

Why This Role Is Interesting

• You’ll help define a new category of checkout UX for AI-driven commerce

• High ownership and direct access to founders

• Designs you ship will be used across thousands of merchants

• Opportunity to grow into a lead designer / design owner role as the company scales
