Your Impact Starts Here

We're looking for a Senior Product Designer, Foundations who thrives at the intersection of systems thinking and product craft. You'll be a design partner for our foundations team—shaping foundational experiences that every user touches, but few teams own: authentication, billing, permissions, compliance, and more—across iOS, Android, and web.

  • Work closely with our design manager, Principal Designer (Design Systems), our UX Engineer, and multiple Product Managers across surfaces—contributing to the design system while also owning end-to-end design for critical platform experiences.
  • Tackle platform experiences end-to-end: Design for critical horizontal surfaces—auth flows, billing & subscriptions, account settings, permissions, team management, and compliance touchpoints—with a strong emphasis on native mobile experiences (iOS and Android), ensuring patterns feel intuitive, polished, and platform-appropriate.
  • Partner with PMs across these areas to ship work that matters.
  • Turn "necessary" into "delightful": Transform utilitarian platform experiences into moments that reinforce trust and reflect our brand.
  • Bridge design and engineering: Partner closely with platform engineers and our UX Engineer, using prototypes and specs to validate decisions and ensure implementation matches intent.
  • Be the connective tissue: Work across product teams to ensure platform experiences feel cohesive across all surfaces and that your design system contributions serve real needs—not hypothetical ones.
  • Flex where the team needs you: Platform work is varied by nature. You'll shift between beautiful UI design, systems contributions, and product work based on what's highest impact, embracing the breadth rather than resisting it.

These are the experiences and strengths that will set you up for success in this role:

  • 4–7 years designing digital products, with demonstrated strength in visual/interaction design and growing systems thinking.
  • You're building toward mastery of both.
  • Exposure to design systems: You've contributed to design systems—building components, using tokens, writing documentation, or collaborating closely with a systems team. You understand the tradeoffs between flexibility and consistency.
  • Platform or infrastructure design experience (a plus): You've designed for auth, billing, settings, admin tools, or other "horizontal" product areas—or you're excited to dive into this space.
  • Technical curiosity: You can collaborate effectively with engineers. Whether that means understanding constraints, prototyping with real interactions in Figma, or reviewing implementations—you bridge the gap.
  • Exceptional craft: Your work demonstrates a high level of polish—strong typography, spacing, hierarchy, and interaction design. You care deeply about the details that make products feel great.
  • Comfort with range and context-switching: You enjoy moving between different types of problems—system work, product design, and UI refinement—and can maintain quality across all of them.
  • Clear communication: You can articulate design rationale, give and receive feedback gracefully, and document your decisions for teammates present and future.
  • Cross-platform design chops: Your portfolio includes iOS, Android, and web work. You know when to honor platform conventions and when to unify for brand consistency.
