Senior Product Designer (Fully Remote - anywhere in South America)

The Role We Need: PadSplit is hiring a Senior Product Designer to shape and improve experiences across our two-sided housing marketplace. Working on a growth-focused product team, you’ll tackle meaningful, complex problems for members and hosts, helping make it easier to find, access, and provide affordable housing. You’ll play a central role in designing intuitive, human, and scalable experiences that create measurable impact for our customers and business. The Person We Are Looking For: We’re looking for a senior-level designer who blends strong product intuition, systems thinking, deep empathy for users, and growth-minded experimentation. You thrive in complex problem spaces, move fluidly between big-picture strategy and pixel-level detail, and can clearly connect design decisions to customer needs and business outcomes. Above all, you are authentic, collaborative, and energized by solving meaningful problems with cross-functional teams. Here’s What You’ll Be Doing Day-to-Day: - Own End-to-End Product Design – Lead design from early problem definition and exploration through prototyping, launch, and iteration across PadSplit’s marketplace. - Simplify Complex Experiences – Turn complicated workflows, rules, and marketplace dynamics into experiences that feel clear, intuitive, and approachable. - Conduct User Research – Interview, observe, and gather insights from members and hosts to deeply understand their needs and translate them into stronger products. - Drive Product Strategy – Partner with PMs to identify opportunities, shape solutions, and connect customer needs with measurable business outcomes. - Experiment & Iterate – Use data, customer feedback, prototypes, and experiments to test assumptions and continuously improve experiences. - Collaborate Cross-Functionally – Work closely with PMs, engineers, marketers, operations, and data partners to develop and deliver cohesive solutions. - Craft High-Quality UI – Build responsive, polished interfaces in Figma using thoughtful components, interaction patterns, and PadSplit’s design system. - Build AI-Infused Experiences – Prototype and design intelligent workflows and AI-powered features alongside our engineering, ML, and AI teams. Here’s What You’ll Need to Be Successful: - Proven Experience – 4+ years designing digital products, ideally with complex acquisition funnels or marketplace environments.

- Deep UX Skills – Strong research abilities and comfort engaging directly with users to uncover pain points and opportunities. - Business Fluency – Ability to connect design decisions to metrics, revenue, and real estate economics like rent, ROI, and occupancy. - Workflow Mastery – Experience designing multi-step processes, complex service environments, and edge-case-heavy workflows. - UI Excellence – Expertise in Figma and interaction design across web and mobile, with strong systems thinking and component reuse. - Data Orientation – Familiarity with A/B testing, experimentation frameworks, and interpreting both qual and quant insights. - AI Capability – Demonstrated experience designing AI-powered features and leveraging modern AI tools in your design practice. - Authentic Collaboration – A humble, kind, curious, and mission-driven approach that elevates the team and the user experience. The Interview Process: - NO BOTS HERE: your resume will be reviewed by live humans from PeopleOps and the hiring manager. - If we’re interested, the next step would be a video screen with a member of the PeopleOps team for about thirty (30) minutes. - If warranted, the next steps would be a project review with the hiring manager (1) hour. - If warranted, the next step would be a design case study with key Design stakeholders at PadSplit for one (1) hour. - If warranted, the final step would be a design craft exercise with key stakeholders at PadSplit for one-and-a-half (1. 5) hours. - If warranted, then we move to offer!
