About Point-out

Every day, millions of people ask AI what to buy, whom to believe and how to stay informed. AI assistants' answers have become a new medium where knowledge takes shape and choices are guided. We want to understand how that happens.

We're a team born of the friction between physics, economics and communication. We build intelligence products that measure, and make legible, how the media, AI models and AI agents select their sources and portray companies and people.

Our platform for GEO (generative engine optimization) and GEA (generative engine advertising) measures how a brand and its competitors appear in AI searches on ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude. It identifies what to do about it across owned channels, earned media and paid investments, and helps marketing and communication teams act within the tools they already use. SEO took two decades to become an industry; GEO is taking shape now.

We're building from Italy with expansion to other European markets planned. We recently closed our first funding round and are preparing the next.

The role

You'll independently lead discovery, design and validation, set up a rigorous design practice, and use AI to speed up exploration and prototyping. You'll work closely with our founder CTO and the other founders. Together you'll take ambiguous customer and business problems through research, UX/UI design and working prototypes to shipped features, balancing user needs, commercial priorities and technical constraints.

You'll set the direction and quality bar for design. As we grow, you'll help hire and develop designers, with scope to become Head of Design.

What you'll do





- Shape the product with the founders: understand their vision in depth and challenge it where needed. You're a sparring partner, not an executor.
- Know the market: track competitors, market standards and sector regulation, and bring that knowledge into what we build
- Talk to users: interview the marketing and communication professionals who use our product, map how they work and turn gaps into actionable insights
- Design the features: user workflows, analytics views and how people interact with the agentic AI capabilities at the heart of the product
- Prototype quickly: go from wireframes to working prototypes with tools like Claude Design and Lovable, so real users can test before engineering builds
- Learn from what ships: monitor how people actually use the product and feed that into the next iteration
- Build the design function: research repository, design system, decision records. None of this exists yet, and you'll define it.

What we're looking for A talent who can work independently from day one while collaborating closely with the CTO, founders and customers.

- Substantial product design experience: typically 3+ years designing and shipping digital products, including significant work on B2B SaaS or similarly complex workflow products. Scope and impact matter more than degree or tenure.
- Ownership from discovery to launch: a portfolio of shipped products that shows how you framed ambiguous problems, tested assumptions,



made trade-offs with engineers and improved the experience after release. It should include something you helped build from its earliest stages.
- Strong craft and systems thinking: advanced Figma (or equivalent); interaction design, information architecture and visual design; reusable components and patterns; attention to accessibility, responsive behaviour, error states and implementation quality.
- AI-assisted prototyping: hands-on use of Claude Design, Lovable or equivalents to build and test interactive prototypes, with the judgement to tell a useful prototype from production-ready software.
- Independent user research: you plan and run interviews and usability tests, recruit participants, synthesise evidence and choose methods proportionate to the decision.
- Analytics and experimentation: you define success measures, interpret funnels and usage data, design practical experiments and make complex data understandable in dashboards and reports.
- Clear communication in Italian and English: you can lead customer interviews, facilitate workshops and document decisions with technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Nice to have

- Experience as first designer or design lead at an early-stage startup, including recruiting and mentoring designers.
- Knowledge of SEO, GEO/GEA or marketing technology, and of the B2B tools marketing and communication teams use.
- Hands-on experience with Supabase, Vercel or similar, and enough frontend knowledge to build coded prototypes.
- A design practice built across multiple products, markets or languages.

What we offer

- €40–50k gross per year, depending on experience.
- 10% annual bonus (50% on personal performance, 50% on company performance).
- Permanent, full-time contract, fully remote.
- A founding role with real ownership and a path to Head of Design.
