Responsibilities
- Work on features spanning builder experiences, platform capabilities, data orchestration, and API management.
- Translate technical depth into clarity, helping both technical and non-technical users build sophisticated automations with confidence.
- Partner with product managers, engineers, researchers, and other designers to define the vision for product areas.
- Lead design end-to-end for complex features, from early problem framing through detailed specs, implementation support, and iteration post-launch.
- Identify opportunities and shape solutions for intuitive interfaces in technically complex workflows.
- Navigate ambiguity confidently and make progress when requirements are undefined, asking the right questions, and knowing when to push for clarity versus moving forward.
- Frame the right questions with researchers to understand user needs and validate design decisions with appropriate rigor.
- Collaborate with other designers to give and receive feedback, contributing to a culture of craft and continuous improvement, and raising standards for execution.
- Incorporate AI-assisted capabilities into features thoughtfully, helping users leverage AI where it adds value, in both invisible and visible ways.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience designing digital products, with significant time spent in enterprise SaaS, developer tools, or technically complex domains.
- A portfolio demonstrating ownership of complex problems end-to-end, with bonus points for work involving workflows, data pipelines, integrations, or technical configuration interfaces.
- Deep technical fluency: comfortable working on features involving concepts like data transformations, API configurations, schema mapping, and automation logic; understanding how systems connect and able to go deep with engineers on implementation tradeoffs.
- A track record of driving projects with autonomy, defining the approach, managing complexity, and delivering quality work without close oversight.
- Proficiency in Figma for design and prototyping, with experience in tools like Framer, Cursor, or code-based prototyping being a plus.
- Familiarity with design systems and how to contribute to and extend them thoughtfully.
