Senior Product Designer, Core

About the role

We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer to shape how Bubble builders create, edit, and ship applications in our core editor experience, owning end-to-end outcomes for substantial parts of the editor and tying design decisions directly to user and business impact.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end design and outcomes for key parts of the Bubble editor and core platform, from problem discovery through shipped experience and follow-up iterations.
• Lead design for complex projects within the Core product area, defining goals up front and ensuring work ties back to clear user and business metrics.
• Turn ambiguous problem spaces into focused problem statements, options, and recommendations that help the team choose the right bets, not just the right UI.
• Partner with PM and engineering as a thought partner, shaping scope and milestones, calling out risks early, and pushing for the right trade-offs when quality or usability is at risk.
• Proactively identify UX issues in your area (through data, research, support tickets, or community input), prioritize them with your partners, and drive them to resolution.
• Produce implementation-ready design specs that anticipate edge cases and technical constraints, and stay close to engineering through launch to protect quality.
• Act as a go-to design voice for your product area, sharing context and rationale with other designers so patterns stay coherent across the editor.
• Contribute to team-level rituals for critique, discovery, and continuous improvement, and model how to give and receive specific, actionable feedback.
• Provide day-to-day mentorship and feedback to other designers working near your area, helping them grow their autonomy and craft.
• Leverage AI to accelerate prototyping, research and validation, design-to-dev hand-off, and more.

Qualifications

• Experience: Typically 6–10+ years of product design experience, with a track record of acting as the primary designer for complex product areas and delivering measurable impact.
• Environment: You’ve worked in product organizations with multiple designers and cross-functional partners, where you’ve had to influence, negotiate trade-offs, and maintain standards—not just ship tickets.
• Background: In-house product design experience in products with real complexity (B2B SaaS, internal tools, workflows, creator tools, or similar).
• Experience in companies with multiple designers and cross-functional teams.
• Portfolio: A portfolio that shows end-to-end ownership of complex product work, clear articulation of problem framing, process and decision-making, and measurable outcomes or learnings.
• Tools: Proficiency with modern product design tools, working in shared design systems. Proficient in leveraging AI tools in your work, such as Claude Code or Figma Make.
• Research: Experience planning and running lightweight user research and usability testing for your own projects.
