Sr. Product Designer

POSITION SUMMARY

Additional responsibilities include:

• Own design from discovery through delivery across one or more product areas.

• Conduct user research and usability testing with technically sophisticated enterprise users.
• Define and track design quality metrics and use them to drive iteration.
• Prototype rapidly to explore and communicate ideas.
• Collaborate closely with product managers, engineers, and other designers throughout the full development cycle.
• Contribute to design culture and process on a small, high-ownership team.

• Hands-on experience with user research, usability testing, and measuring design outcomes.
• Proficiency in Figma
• Active use of AI tools in design and prototyping workflows
• The ability to operate independently, drive decisions, and move fast without waiting for direction.

• Portfolio required, demonstrating shipped product work and the thinking behind design decisions.
• Experience working on small design teams or as the primary designer for a product area.
• Background in a growth-stage technology company, preferably in developer tools or data. Infrastructure, analytics, security, or a related technical domain.
• No specific degree required; demonstrated skill and experience are what matter.
