Senior Product Designer

The role

You will own design for defined workflows in developer tools from discovery through shipping. You will partner with engineers and PMs to shape products, scope v1s, and contribute to the design system.

What you will do

• Own design for defined workflows in developer tools, from discovery through shipped experience.
• Partner day to day with engineers and PMs to shape what gets built.
• Scope v1s that deliver value quickly, then iterate based on usage and feedback.
• Design for the details that make technical products trustworthy: states, edge cases, errors, and permissions.
• Contribute reusable patterns and components to our design system.
• Use AI tools to prototype and test ideas quickly.
• Run lightweight usability tests when the cost of being wrong is high.
• Tie work to outcomes such as task completion, developer activation, or fewer support tickets.

Required qualifications

• 5+ years designing software, with a focus on product or UX design.
• A portfolio of shipped work.
• Experience designing complex products, ideally for technical users: developer tools, infrastructure, data, security, identity, or APIs.
• A track record of owning features or workflows end to end, from discovery through shipping.
• Strong visual design, interaction, and craft skills.
• Comfortable working through ambiguity within a defined problem area.

Nice to have

• Have shipped developer-focused experiences, API tooling, or agent experiences.
• Experience contributing to a design system, and knowing when to work outside it.
• Use AI tools to prototype and explore ideas faster.
• An engineering background, or comfort working in code.
• Curious about developer tools and AI agents.
• Equally comfortable thinking through a whole user journey and sweating the interaction details.
