Senior Design Engineer

Product Designer

Front is the customer operations platform built for B2B complexity, keeping every team, tool, and customer conversation in sync so companies can scale without losing connection. Others handle simple interactions. Front handles the coordination and context behind complex B2B customer relationships. Over 9,000 companies, including Uber Freight, Navan, and Stripe, rely on Front because it's the only one that can run the operational layer that makes customer-facing work actually succeed.

We're looking for a Product Designer to join the Core Product Experience team at a genuine inflection point, where the work happening right now will define what Front becomes over the next few years. This role will be leading design for the core inbox experience, setting the bar for quality and craft as the product grows, and shaping decisions that affect every team and customer that relies on Front every day.

What will you be doing?

• Lead design for Front's core inbox and app experience and set the bar for quality and craft as other product teams build into it.
• Lead user research, reaching out to customers directly, running interviews and usability sessions, and translating what you learn into design direction.
• Partner with Product, Engineering, Data, and Customer Support to define requirements and ship solutions that hold up under real-world use.
• Design across web, desktop, and mobile, meeting users where they work.
• Communicate your vision through mock-ups, documentation, and prototypes, with prototyping as a primary tool for thinking and alignment.
• Represent users in tradeoff, timeline, and experience discussions with the conviction to advocate for the right call.
• Contribute to building and maintaining the design system with clean, usable documentation.
• Help build a team culture where great work is the standard and honest feedback is how you get there.

What skills and experience do you need?

• 5+ years designing and shipping complex products across web and mobile platforms; additional experience designing for enterprise or operations-critical software is a strong plus.
• A portfolio demonstrating a strong end-to-end design process and refined UI/UX skills. Prototypes are required.
• Demonstrated experience designing AI-powered experiences. You understand what AI can and can't do, have built it into products you've shipped, and that work is visible in your portfolio.
• Fluency with AI tools as part of your active design practice, including using AI for prototyping, iteration, and making production-level changes.
• Experience conducting independent user research, including recruiting, interviewing, and translating findings into design direction. Comfort reaching out to customers directly and owning the research process end to end.
• Experience contributing to and maintaining design systems with clean, scalable structure and documentation.
• Being collaborative by default, with low ego, strong communication skills, and the ability to connect design decisions clearly to the problems they solve.
