Join us in reshaping global trade in a fast-growing startup!
We are traide AI – a VC-backed, B2B deep tech startup based in Berlin, using AI to solve one of the most overlooked yet critical challenges in international trade: compliance. Our software automates product classification, reduces regulatory errors, and helps customers save up to 83% of their time on a process that is critical to get right. 
Trusted by leading brands like BMW, RIMOWA, OBI, Edeka, we've achieved 3x growth over the past 12 months – and we're just getting started.

• Own the full loop. Take a user problem from rough idea to shipped interface: partner or write the brief, design the flow, prototype it, partner with engineering, ship it with as few handoffs as possible.
• Use AI as a force multiplier. Explore and prototype with AI tools, Figma, or code, whatever gets there fastest. Your taste is the editorial layer: you know when AI-generated UI is wrong even when it looks right, and you fix it.
• Solve from first principles. Reason about the right interaction for the user problem instead of reaching for a component library.
• Sweat the final 10%. Craft the details others miss, the ones that make a compliance product feel trustworthy.
• Work in small, focused pods. No layers, no waiting. You'll work closely with two or three others who share the same model.
• Be accountable to outcomes. Know the metric your team is moving. Measure your week by what changed for users, not by screens delivered.
• Stretch beyond design. Read the API spec, engage users directly, build in code when it's faster than Figma.

Craft is the baseline here, not a nice-to-have. What sets you apart is range and judgment: you know what good looks like, you know when something looks right but feels wrong, and you can get a team there with you.

• Fluency in English (C1+) is required. German (C1) is a plus, but not a must-have.
• Genuine design craft with a track record: you've shipped interfaces real users navigated without explanation, and you can point to the metric that moved.
• Strong visual sensibility, high standards, and an eye for detail.
• Range across Design, Product, and Engineering: you've gone from user problem to testable prototype without waiting for a brief, and used AI coding tools to build something real. You're not dependent on an engineer to realize your vision.
• You've built personal AI workflows that make you meaningfully faster, and you know when to trust, edit, or reject AI output.
• Comfortable in ambiguity: you ship, collect signal, and iterate rather than waiting for full clarity.
• You are excited to show your work (portfolio or examples).
• Ideally you've worked on products where getting it wrong has real consequences (fintech, healthtech, logistics, compliance), but that's not a must-have.
• Berlin-based or willing to relocate.

• You want a PM to define the problem and an engineer to implement the solution.
• You resist working in code or with AI.
• You hand off polished Figma files and believe your job is done.
• You judge yourself on taste alone, not outcomes.
