Product Designer

About the role

The person shaping these surfaces needs to be designing and shipping, not waiting for handoffs.

Responsibilities

• Own the design of customer-facing and internal product surfaces across Patch's platform, from environmental commodity research workflows to portfolio dashboards to transaction infrastructure
• Ship code. Prototype in production. You don't need an engineer to validate an idea.
• Embed with our climate strategists and customers to observe real workflows.
• The question we ask constantly: what did a strategist do manually today that should be a platform capability tomorrow?
• Act as DRI on design initiatives, from scoping through delivery
• Design interfaces where AI does material work: summarizing diligence, constructing portfolios, surfacing market signals.
• Make the AI's contributions visible, trustworthy, and useful
• Continue to mature Patch's design language and component system.

Requirements

• Product ownership: You define the problem, design the solution, and ship it. You don't wait for a brief.
• Code fluency: You've committed production code and you liked it. You can prototype and build in a codebase, not just in Figma.
• AI-native workflow: You use AI tools daily in your design process. Generative design, AI-assisted prototyping, AI coding tools. This isn't aspirational for you, it's how you already work
• Systems thinking: You can look at a complex domain (markets, transactions, organizations, inventory) and design interfaces that make the structure clear without dumbing it down
• Operational design chops: Experience designing information-dense, workflow-heavy tools (fintech, enterprise, data platforms). This is not a consumer app
• Collaborative accountability: Direct communication, strong opinions loosely held, preference for being a DRI over a contributor
• Comfort with ambiguity: The domain and markets we operate within are evolving rapidly. You find that exciting, not paralyzing
