About Us

Agency Enterprise (AE Studio) is a software development, data science, and design studio based in Los Angeles. We’re 100+ strong, entirely bootstrapped, and proudly free of VC, PE, or outside shareholders. Our model is simple: great people build great things, we turn a profit, and reinvest in our team.

We build software to increase human agency — for clients, employees, and humanity at large. Our work spans startups, Fortune 500s, and everything in between. We’ve incubated agency-driven tech ventures, won international neuroscience competitions, and lead innovation in brain-computer interfaces (BCI).

About the Role

As a Product Designer & Manager, you'll lead cross-functional product development in an Agile environment. You’ll work directly with clients and internal tech leads to define, shape, and deliver best-in-class digital experiences.

Responsibilities

• Lead product discovery, UX mapping, roadmapping, and feature prioritization.
• Co-lead client kickoff meetings and collaborate on product vision.
• Manage product roadmaps and oversee Agile delivery cycles.
• Facilitate sprints, estimations, daily standups, demos, and retrospectives.
• Translate business needs into actionable product requirements.
• Create sitemaps, user flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity mockups.
• Run user feedback and testing sessions.
• Maintain design–dev handoff processes and ensure clear communication.
• Monitor timelines, budgets, and product releases.
• Identify areas for growth and lead experimentation.

About You

• 5+ years experience as a product designer or product manager.
• You bridge UX/UI craft with strategic product thinking.
• Experienced with Agile workflows and tools like Figma, Sketch, Linear, or Pivotal Tracker.
• A strong communicator who gives and receives feedback gracefully.
• Bonus if you have experience in HTML/CSS, startups, consulting, VR… or ice cream.

What We Offer

• Remote flexibility
• Platinum health insurance
• Multi-company equity participation
• Latest-gen hardware + continuous learning resources
• Work with a team of ex-founders, scientists, engineers, and artists
• Creative skunkworks projects with C-suite opportunities
• Weekly team lunches, happy hours, and occasional VR/game nights
• Annual tropical team retreat

Equity Philosophy

We invest millions into Skunkworks ventures and client equity, and pass that value to our team. Equity is priced at $0 at grant for tax purposes, but has real upside. The longer you stay, the more equity you earn. Stay long-term, and you're likely to do extremely well.

• Leave AE on good terms? Retain 20% of your equity.
• Leave to join a Skunkworks project? Keep 100%.

We value people who think long-term. Value creation compounds here in years 3 and 4 — not just years 1 and 2.
