The role
This role places a senior product designer inside compact, self-directed squads alongside engineers and product partners, owning work from early exploration through to release. The position also covers refining core screens, flows, and small polish issues, and helping grow the design team through critique and hiring.
What you would do
- Partner directly with engineers and product managers to start and finish roadmap work without passing it off between stages.
- Spot chances to rework important screens and flows, plus fix minor rough edges encountered while using the product.
- Produce mockups, interactive prototypes, and polished visuals that convey concepts and how they should be built.
- Mentor other designers by running constructive reviews of work still in progress.
- Apply and improve the team's lightweight design system components.
- Take part in recruiting to bring in strong future colleagues.
What they asked for
- Seven or more years of professional experience designing software.
- Willingness to ask hard questions, test ideas, and push for a position you believe in.
- Openness to critique and readiness to revise your thinking through repeated iteration.
- Proficiency prototyping in Figma, plus experience with AI tools, HTML/CSS, or Origami.
- Skill at reducing complex problems and feedback into focused design decisions.
- Strong written and spoken communication, since much of the collaboration happens asynchronously.
