HappyCo Product Designer

About the Role

You'll own product experiences end-to-end. From problem framing through delivery and iteration, embedded in a product triad with a PM and Engineering Lead. This is a high-autonomy role for designers who operate independently, think in systems, and are already building with AI – not just aware of it.

We're hiring across two closely connected problem spaces: Inspections and Data. Placement will be based on your strengths and business needs.

Problem Spaces You May Work In

Depending on product priorities and your strengths, you may work in one or more of the following areas:

• Inspections & Property Operations

  Designing mobile and web workflows that help property teams plan, complete, and act on inspections across large multifamily portfolios. This includes efficient field data capture, photos, findings, follow-up work, quality assurance, and coordination across roles and properties.

• Data, Reporting & Insights

  Designing dashboards, reports, analytics, and data exploration experiences that help operators understand performance, identify risks and opportunities, and make confident decisions. This includes turning complex property and portfolio data into clear, actionable insights.

These products are information-dense, highly interconnected, and used by multiple roles across an organization—from people working in the field to portfolio leaders. Increasingly, they also incorporate AI-powered interfaces that allow users to proactively query their data, surface insights, and receive recommendations through agentic, conversational, and voice-enabled interactions. Designing clarity, trust, and usability into these systems, across both traditional interfaces and AI-assisted experiences, is core to the role.

What You'll Do

• Own a product area fully: discovery, design, delivery, analysis, iteration
• Work backwards from real customer problems and translate complexity into clear, scalable solutions
• Make field workflows and data-dense, information-rich interfaces easy to use across mobile and web
• Design dashboards, reporting, and AI-assisted experiences that turn operational data into useful action
• Shape agentic workflows, conversational interfaces, and voice-enabled interactions where they improve outcomes
• Make AI capabilities feel understandable, trustworthy, and usable – not just impressive
• Use AI actively in your own process to move faster and think deeper
• Run lightweight research, synthesize insights, and act as the evidence-backed voice for the customer
• Champion our design system, contribute to craft standards, and raise the bar in every critique

What You Bring

• 5–8 years shipping web-based SaaS or enterprise products at scale
• Demonstrate end-to-end ownership with real shipped work, including AI-assisted experiences
• You are actively using AI tools today. Claude, Cursor, Codex – whatever fits your workflow. This is a hard requirement, not a nice-to-have.
• Strong systems thinking across complex, interconnected product surfaces. Furthermore, knowing when to lean on systems and when to break out of them. You balance rigor with creativity.
• High autonomy. You move work forward without waiting for direction
• Clear communication, comfort with ambiguity

Strongly Valued

• Background in complex domains: field operations, inspections, analytics, reporting, workflow tooling, or similar
• Experience designing across mobile and web surfaces
• Familiarity with agentic experiences
• Comfort working close to code or prototyping with code
• Multifamily or proptech experience is a plus, not a prerequisite
