About the Role We’re hiring a Senior UX Designer to join the Product Design & Research team and own product areas end‑to‑end. This is a hands‑on, high‑craft role for someone who can take a feature from ambiguity to production with minimal oversight — and who raises the quality bar for everyone around them in the process. You’ll work across our platform and our new AI‑powered product experiences, partnering closely with Product and Engineering to ship intuitive, accessible, high‑confidence design. You’ll also be a core contributor to our design system, helping turn design into a reusable team asset rather than a per‑feature scramble. What You’ll Do Own product design end‑to‑end. Take entire features and product areas from discovery and wireframes through high‑fidelity UI and production‑ready handoff — independently, with strong rationale behind every decision. Contribute to and strengthen the design system. Actively build, maintain, and enforce a consistent component library that accelerates both design and engineering velocity. Partner cross‑functionally. Be an embedded partner to Product and Engineering. Translate ambiguous briefs into clear, defensible design solutions. Integrate UX research into your work. Run usability tests, synthesize behavioral and product analytics (e.g., Fullstory, Pendo), and fold research findings into your design iterations. Design accessibility‑first. Treat WCAG 2.2 compliance as a default standard, not an afterthought. Work AI‑native. Leverage Figma AI, Claude, and emerging tooling to compress design cycles without compromising quality. Required Qualifications 6+ years of product design experience, with a portfolio that shows end‑to‑end ownership of complex features in a software or platform environment. Demonstrated experience building and maintaining design systems and component libraries. Strong fluency in Figma and modern design tooling, including an appetite for AI‑assisted workflows. Hands‑on experience integrating usability testing and product analytics into your design process. Working knowledge of accessibility standards (WCAG 2.2) and a track record of designing to them by default. The ability to operate with autonomy — turning vague problems into shipped, high‑quality solutions without heavy oversight. What Success Looks Like First 30 days — Ramped and embedded. You’ve audited our existing Figma files and design system, identified the top consistency gaps, and shipped your first solo deliverable with minimal review. By 60 days — You own at least one full product area end‑to‑end. Your designs move cleanly through review and into engineering handoff, and you’re actively working through the design system backlog. By 90 days — Your design contributions have shipped to production. The design system has measurably reduced design‑to‑handoff time, and accessibility is embedded in your workflow by default. By 120 days — Design is a shared team asset. Your patterns are documented, reusable, and discoverable in Figma, and Product and Engineering are citing faster, higher‑quality cycles because of how you work. Who You Are Our design & research team has a unique fabric, and we hire for it deliberately – the below aren’t recommendations, they are core cornerstones to how our department functions: You push yourself to do your best work. You hold a high craft bar and you’re motivated by getting things right, not just getting them done. You have a growth mindset. You actively seek out feedback and incorporate it — you treat critique as fuel, not a threat. You care about the people around you. You’re committed to elevating your teammates. We don’t hire for a "rockstar" mentality; we hire people who make the whole team better. You lead with humility. You’re confident in your craft and secure enough to stay open, curious, and collaborative. Benefits Specific to each country, we offer a competitive salary, stock options, health benefits, and unlimited PTO, parental leave, tuition reimbursements, and much more! The estimated total compensation range for this position is $180,000 - $250,000 (base plus bonus).
