About The Position

Baseten is seeking a Product Designer to shape the next generation of its platform. The designer will join a small design team with substantial ownership and a high bar for craft, working across the product to solve difficult problems for technical users.

The role spans the full design process, from early exploration through production. The designer will establish product-wide patterns, evolve the design system, and help raise product quality as the company scales. They will work closely with engineering, product, and customers, and may work directly in code to ensure the shipped experience reflects the design.

Requirements

• A portfolio demonstrating strong visual and interaction design.
• Experience designing complex, technical, or developer-focused products.
• Ability to understand customer needs, explore multiple approaches, and drive an ambiguous problem toward a strong solution.
• Deep attention to typography, layout, hierarchy, interaction, and systems.
• Experience working directly with engineers and customers.
• A fast, prototype-early working style that uses findings to iterate.
• Ability to improve product-wide patterns and systems beyond individual features.
• Comfort with technical tools such as Git and VS Code, and interest in working directly in React, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, or TypeScript.
• Strong product and design judgment, including the ability to explain what is good, what could be better, and when work is ready to ship.

Responsibilities

• Lead product design end to end, including research, product definition, prototypes, design reviews, specifications, and final implementation.
• Work directly with engineering and product to frame problems, explore solutions, and ship quickly.
• Collaborate with customers to understand their workflows, validate ideas, and test prototypes.
• Improve the visual and interaction quality of the Baseten product across surfaces.
• Create interactions and details that make complex technical workflows clear, fast, and polished.
• Evolve the design system and establish patterns that scale across a growing product.
• Identify opportunities across the product to improve consistency, usability, and overall quality.
• Work with engineers in code to polish the UI and ensure the shipped experience matches the design.
• Help shape the design team's ways of working and raise product quality across the company.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation, including meaningful equity.
• For U.S. employees, 100% coverage of medical, dental, and vision insurance for employees and dependents.
• Flexible PTO policy, including a company-wide Winter Break when offices are closed from Christmas Eve to New Year's Day.
• Paid parental leave.
• Fertility and family-building stipend through Carrot.
• For U.S. employees, a company-facilitated 401(k).
