Product Designer

Merge•New York, NY

134d•$170,000 - $220,000

About The Position

Merge builds the infrastructure that connects AI agents and B2B products to the rest of the world. We're looking for a designer who is passionate about the craft, genuinely obsessed with how AI is changing what's possible, and who moves fast because of it. You see problems before they're assigned to you, you use every tool available to work through them, and you don't stop until they're solved.

Requirements

2–4 years of product design experience, with at least one product that has real complexity; conditional states, non-deterministic systems, error handling and multiple users
Strong portfolio demonstrating deep systems thinking and visual craft. Case studies demonstrate end-to-end thinking and illustrate business impact. Experience with building and maintaining a design system in Figma and code.
AI-native: you've thoughtfully integrated generative AI into your process and know how to build with a sophisticated, polished UX with prompts. You have a deep understanding of the latest tools and techniques and have a point of view on where it's taking the discipline.
You are a fast, scrappy thinker who'd rather show something rough in two hours than a polished spec in two days. You enjoy thinking on your feet and can adapt your process when timelines and requirements change.
Strong engineering, product, and brand relationships: you speak the language and understand others' goals and constraints. . . You can articulate rationale and ask thoughtful questions that build trust with teammates. You are happy to take things off people's plates and have a can-do attitude.
Genuine obsession: you have opinions about good design outside of work, you've been deeply invested in something before, and you're not just here for a line on your resume

Responsibilities

Navigate ambiguity: Take high-level business goals and fuzzy problems and turn them into concrete, elegant designs that uplevel our products and delight our customers
Operate with high agency: Identify gaps in our product or process before they become issues and drive solutions to completion without needing a roadmap handed to you
Be a cultural force: Act as a highly opinionated advocate for the user, pushing the team to uphold an exceptionally high bar for polish and simplicity
Scale the craft: Contribute to the systems, standards, and rituals that level up the whole team
Move fast: Work closely across the product and engineering teams to unblock decisions and ship daily
