Why Join Bubble Now?

The rise of AI-generated software has validated everything Bubble has been building toward for over a decade. But pure AI-generated code is fragile, hard to debug, and rarely production-ready.

• 5+ years experience leading design teams, ideally having scaled teams in a high-growth startup environment

• Track record of recruiting world-class senior talent and developing high-performing teams
• Deep experience guiding teams through user research, design exploration & refinement, and iteration
• Ability to make pragmatic prioritization, scope, and design decisions while balancing user needs, design vision, and business objectives
