Job description

Pantas builds end-to-end climate software that helps enterprises measure, manage, and disclose carbon emissions and equips institutions with climate AI tools. As an AI-first startup, we operate with the pace and ownership culture of a US-style startup, backed by international investors.

Following a strategic pivot, we are rebuilding our design function from the ground up with an AI-native approach. We're not just filling a role; we're seeking a partner to define the future of our user experience. You will be our sole designer, acting as the critical bridge between product vision and engineering, with the full support of our leadership team to help you grow and succeed. If you are a technical designer who codes or a front-end engineer with a passion for user experience, this is your opportunity to define the future of AI-SaaS interfaces in the climate tech space.

Your Growth & Our Commitment to AI Upskilling

We are committed to making you successful. You won't be learning in a vacuum. You will be part of a structured, hands-on training program designed to make you a leader in AI-first design :

  • Strategic Innovation & AI Workshops : Join monthly (or more frequent) team-wide sessions led by our CEO and CTO to explore the cutting edge of AI, workflow automation, and new technologies in engineering and product development.
  • Hands-On Technical Training : Work directly with our CEO, CTO and engineering team to master AI-powered tools like Claude Code, Cursor and Figma Make to accelerate the design-to-code workflow.
  • Build the Playbook : You will have the autonomy to experiment and establish the AI design processes that will define our company for years to come.

What You’ll Do (Responsibilities)

  • Translate Figma designs into production-ready UI components in React / Bootstrap via AI-assisted tools. Your focus will be on the visual and interactive layer, creating static components that our engineering team will then integrate into the application logic. This is not a full-stack development role.
  • Design, test, and systematize user-facing prompts and interaction flows for our features, establishing best practices for prompt-based UX.
  • Contribute to our design system from a code-first perspective, ensuring components are scalable, consistent, and easy for developers to implement.
  • Collaborate with Product Managers and engineers throughout the entire product development cycle to prototype and ship features from concept to launch.
  • Conduct usability testing and use data to inform both design decisions and interactions, ensuring solutions are effective and intuitive.
  • Requirements (What you bring)

  • 1+ years of experience in product design, UIUX development, or similar role where you have translated design concepts into tangible interfaces (professional or significant personal projects). We prioritize a strong growth mindset and a proactive attitude over years of experience.
  • A portfolio demonstrating a strong user-centered design process and visual craft in Figma.
  • A huge plus : Experience or a keen interest in translating your designs into code with React. Familiarity with Figma MCP or coding tools such as Claude Code and Cursor is beneficial, but not required, we will teach you.
  • You are : A highly organized self-starter, comfortable managing your own projects with the assistance of the Product Manager and communicating proactively in a collaborative, fast-paced startup environment. You have a solid foundation in user-centered design principles and a keen eye for aesthetics.
  • How we work (Tools & rituals)

  • Design & Ideation : We use Figma for initial brainstorming, wireframing, and maintaining our design system’s visual foundation.
  • Code & Implementation : Our design process extends directly into the codebase. You will use tools like Figma MCP, Claude Code or Cursor to translate ideas into functional UI components in our React / Bootstrap front end.
  • Collaboration & Delivery : We work in weekly sprints managed in Jira Software. You'll collaborate daily with engineers and product managers, linking pull requests directly to work items for full traceability.
  • Some of the perks while at Pantas

  • Attractive compensation packages : We offer competitive, fair market rate compensation for your level of experience.
  • Equity : You’ll be entitled to stock options, with terms and conditions.
  • Flexible working hours : No 9-5 structure, work the hours you need to get your tasks done.
  • Hybrid work flexibility : Work wherever you feel most productive every Friday.
  • Health : We provide medical insurance for hospital and surgical needs with annual check-ups.
  • Work Hard, Play Harder : Our culture thrives on connection and a bit of friendly competition. We're constantly hitting the court for monthly badminton and pickleball sessions, exploring new ideas at company off-sites and monthly tech innovation sessions, or sharing stories over team lunches. We celebrate our people's successes, big and small, and yes, that always includes a cake on their birthday.
  • We celebrate diversity at our company and are proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, age, marital status, sexual orientation or disability status.
