We measure how effectively AI is applied to deliver results, and consistent, creative use of the latest AI capabilities is key to success here. Candidates should be comfortable adopting new models and modes quickly, integrating AI into their workflows, and continuously pushing the boundaries of what these technologies can do.Additionally, we move at the pace of AI. Change is rapid, and you can expect your day-to-day work to evolve just as quickly. This may not be the right role if you're not excited to experiment, adapt, think on your feet, and learn constantly, or if you're seeking something highly prescriptive with a traditional 9-to-5.Note: This is a remote role based in Pacific Time, with a preference for candidates located in San Francisco.About The RolePlayground and Console are where developers meet Deepgram for the first time. Our redesigns are shipping into development now, and both surfaces have steady, real UI work ahead of them.We're looking for a Product Designer to own that execution. You'll work alongside our senior designers on feature-level work, take assigned pieces end to end once the direction is set, and float to whichever surface needs design hours that week. The work is well-defined and it matters: it is the first impression of the product for most of the people who use it.This role is deliberately flexible. You'll build fluency in our design system, our developer audience, and our product faster than you would sitting on one surface for a year, and you'll be the reason senior designers get to stay on the problems only they can solve.You'll report directly to the Director of Product Design.Your first chapterfeature-level UI across Playground and Console, running on Cosmos, our design system.What You'll DoDesign and refine UI across the Playground and Console experiences, working from a defined problem and a general solution directionSupport senior designers on feature work, taking assigned pieces end to end with minimal guidance once the approach is setPick up design work wherever capacity is needed, across product surfacesApply Cosmos consistently, and exercise judgment on the edge cases the system does not answer yetDocument the why alongside the what, so your decisions are legible to the team and to engineeringGive regular updates, present your rationale in critique, and give your peers feedback worth havingUse our AI and design tooling in your day-to-day work, and share what you learn with the teamYou'll Love This Role If YouTake pride in execution, and care whether the spacing is rightWant range early, across multiple surfaces and problem types, rather than one narrow laneLike designing for developers, and find technical products more interesting than intimidatingWant to learn from senior designers by working next to them on real workAre excited to move at the pace of AI and figure out where these tools genuinely helpIt's Important To Us That You HaveWe care more about expertise and leadership than years of experience.Strong UI craft, with a portfolio that shows clear visual and interaction judgmentExperience taking feature-level work end to end, from direction through production handoffFluency working inside a design system, and the judgment to know when a pattern does not fitClear written communication, including the reasoning behind your decisionsComfort with technical or abstract product surfacesAI tools already in your daily practice, with a view on where they helpIt Would Be Great If You HadExperience designing for developers or technical users, including APIs, SDKs, documentation, or console workflowsExposure to B2B SaaS with both self-serve and enterprise motionsPrototyping skills beyond static screensExperience contributing to a design system rather than only consuming oneCuriosity about voice, audio, or real-time productsJ-18808-Ljbffr Deepgram
