Design Engineer -- Crunched (Oslo)

Location: Oslo, Norway

Type: Full-time, on-site

Compensation: Top Salary package in Norway + equity + ARR-based compensation model

Design the interface of the world's most advanced AI analyst

Crunched builds autonomous AI systems that operate inside Excel to automate strategy, modelling and financial workflows. Already used by professionals at BCG, Nordover Capital, Insead, Harvard, Explore, Arkwright, Connaught, and Placepoint.

We're backed by YC, raised 55M NOK, and just completed months in San Francisco. We're now assembling the core Oslo team -- and we're hiring a Design Engineer who will own how users interact with our AI analyst.

This is a rare role where design, engineering, and product thinking merge.

What you'll do
• Design and ship production UI/UX for autonomous Excel workflows
• Prototype rapidly with engineering and iterate daily based on real user feedback
• Create intuitive interfaces for complex financial and analytical tasks
• Own everything from concept → prototype → production
• Shape the visual identity, interaction patterns and product direction
• Work directly with founders, engineers and top-tier users across Europe and the US

Who you are

You're a hybrid designer--engineer with a strong product sense and a track record of shipping. You care deeply about clarity, speed, and reducing complexity for users doing advanced work.

You likely have:
• Strong frontend fundamentals (React/TypeScript)
• Proven design portfolios (UI/UX, data-heavy interfaces, dashboards, B2B tools)
• Experience shipping full features end-to-end
• Ability to convert messy workflows into crisp, intuitive interfaces
• High tempo, ownership mindset, and comfort in intense startup environments

You don't just design -- you build.

Working model

We work as one team, in the same room, moving fast.

This role is 5 days per week on-site in Oslo.

We're looking for people who want to push hard, learn fast, and be part of a rare window of opportunity.

Compensation

We hire world-class people and compensate accordingly.
• Top salary Package
• Over 1M NOK in equity from day one
• ARR-based compensation ladder where you choose between major salary increases or more equity
• Best possible strike price allowed by legal counsel
• Standard 4-year vesting with 1-year cliff

If you want real ownership and real upside, this is it.
We compensate well - and we expect people with the same growth ambitions and time investment required to build something truly big.
