Product Designer (Growth)

About the Role

The Product Design team at Tailscale is looking for an experienced Designer to join our dedicated Product Growth team. You will be the second designer on an existing cross-functional team and work to propel initiatives around activation, onboarding, monetization, user expansion, and the referral flywheel. Working closely with Product, UX Research, and Engineering, this role will focus on delivering minimum-viable solutions intended to test a hypothesis. We're looking for someone who enjoys the cadence of regular delivery, learning from experiments, and upholding a high craft bar. This role will work closely with an experienced Product Designer within the Growth space and will report to the Product Design Manager.

Key Responsibilities

• Draft & propose product changes that intend to move the needle on existing growth initiatives
• Participate in the experimentation lifecycle, learning from research and iterating based on feedback
• Contribute to a backlog of experiment ideas, generating multiple ways to address friction areas and influence user behavior through interaction design and prototyping
• Understand what our users are trying to do and advocate for product changes that support their best interests
• Uphold a high quality standard for what ships, balancing the need for experimentation with a high bar for permanent changes
• Partner with your PM, researcher, fellow designer, and engineers to define problems, define experiment goals as they relate to solutions proposed, and measure impact through experimentation

What We Are Looking For

• 3-5+ years of product design experience, ideally with time spent on onboarding, growth, or monetization work
• Hands-on experience with common growth tooling and approaches such as A/B testing and behavioral analytics tooling (Amplitude, Pendo, etc.)
• Experience with self-serve, product-led SaaS business motions
• Comfort working with experiment results and interpreting findings that will guide design decisions
• Skilled at balancing speed and quality of deliverable designs
• Experience and skill working in distributed, async environments

Nice to Have

• Hands-on experience with Tailscale, or working familiarity with networking concepts such as DNS, VPNs, or traffic routing
• Experience and opinion on thoughtful LLM tool usage within the design workflow, especially for prototyping and user testing
