We are Assembly Four, a fast growing, purpose-driven technology company dedicated to fostering positive change within the sex work, human rights, LGBTQIA+, and intersecting communities.
We operate on the belief that impact is as important as profit, and work in collaboration with sex workers from around the globe to develop products and services that empower them to thrive, not just survive.
Everyone should have the autonomy to make decisions about their bodies and sexual lives without fear of violence or discrimination. This is a fundamental human right – and one that sex workers are still fighting for.
If you're eager to join a remote-first team with diverse representation from sex worker, neurodivergent, disabled, and LGBTQIA+ communities, committed to advancing sex worker autonomy and liberation through advocacy and innovative products, read on.

- Monitor and support the flow of design work, proactively identifying blockers, gaps in understanding, or missed opportunities for user engagement.
Cross-functional collaboration
- Enabling the team to collaborate closely with product managers and front-end engineers to ensure high-quality handoff, feasibility, and alignment between design and development.
- Work closely with Product Managers, Engineers, and other stakeholders to align on problem spaces, scope, and priorities.
- Engage with internal (e.g., CX, Trust and Safety, Marketing) and external (e.g., users, partner orgs) stakeholders to ensure real-world user context and community values are considered in design decisions.
Your background and skills:
- Experience as a Product Designer delivering digital products, platforms or SaaS solutions.
- You hold deep technical expertise of UX and UI design tools and best practice with a track record of clear, useful, visually compelling work

- Comfortable with project management tools such as Notion and Linear
- Confident communicator who can adapt technical explanations for different audiences and turn complex problems into clear briefs
- Comfortable working async with a distributed team
- You have a high level of ambiguity tolerance and can adapt to changing needs
- Experience or genuine interest in designing for marginalised or stigmatised communities, with a strong sense of empathy, privacy, and safety-first thinking
In an ideal world, you would also have:
- Previous experience engaging with and a willingness to learn about marginalised communities, particularly sex workers, neurodivergent individuals, and people with disability.
- Experience in or a strong understanding of sex work.
- Experience working in both startup environments and fully remote work settings.
