Staff Product Designer

We are partnering with an innovative AI tech company building intelligent software for real-world environments. Its platform combines computer vision, real-time video, sensor data, and advanced machine learning to help organizations identify patterns, understand complex information, and make better decisions. The company develops technically challenging solutions for enterprise customers across industries including logistics, manufacturing, security, and defense. About the Role We are looking for an experienced, hands‑on Lead Product Designer. This is a player‑coach position. You will mentor and guide two team members while remaining actively involved in designing, prototyping, and delivering products yourself. You will work closely with frontend engineers, machine learning teams, and product leadership to turn complex AI capabilities into intuitive, polished products. This is not a traditional design management position. We are looking for someone who enjoys being hands‑on, can move comfortably between Figma and code, and takes ownership from initial concept through implementation. Key Responsibilities Lead, mentor, and support a team of two while remaining a hands‑on contributor to product design. Own product design across AI and computer vision applications, including dashboards, maps, timelines, model training interfaces, and agentic AI workflows. Translate machine learning prototypes into intuitive, user-friendly, production‑ready applications. Define product requirements, user flows, interaction states, edge cases, and acceptance criteria. Prototype and iterate directly in the application using React, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS. Own and evolve the design system, including reusable components, design tokens, and visual consistency across applications. Collaborate closely with engineering, machine learning, and product leadership. Maintain a high standard of visual design, usability, accessibility, motion, and consistency. Use AI‑powered design and development tools to accelerate product development. Balance team leadership responsibilities with hands‑on design and delivery. Requirements 7+ years of product design experience, preferably with complex B2B, data‑intensive, or technical products. Previous experience leading, mentoring, or guiding other designers while remaining hands‑on. A strong portfolio of shipped products demonstrating end‑to‑end design ownership and the ability to simplify complex workflows. Strong proficiency in Figma, with the ability to read and modify React, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS. Experience using AI design and coding tools in daily workflows. Experience building and maintaining design systems, reusable components, and design tokens. Ability to translate product concepts into clear specifications that engineering teams can implement. Strong visual design skills and attention to detail. Comfortable working in a fast‑paced environment with a high degree of ownership. Must be a U.S. citizen. Who Will Succeed in This Role? We are looking for a designer who enjoys both leading people and building great products. You will be a strong fit if you: Enjoy mentoring others while remaining deeply involved in hands‑on product design. Can take complex technical concepts and turn them into intuitive user experiences. Are comfortable working in both Figma and code. Prefer building and shipping products rather than focusing primarily on design management. Can provide design direction while also taking ownership of your own deliverables. Thrive in a collaborative, fast-moving environment. 100% employer‑paid medical insurance premiums for employees and dependents. Dental and vision coverage. 401(k) and disability benefits. Flexible remote and work‑from‑home options. #J-18808-Ljbffr
