About The Position

Cinder is seeking a second senior designer to own significant product surfaces end to end as its product, agent-facing workflows, product lines, brand, and go-to-market presence expand. The designer will work as a co-lead and thought partner with the current designer, owning assigned surfaces, helping shape design direction and craft standards, and participating in direct, two-way critique. The role calls for quickly developing fluency in Cinder’s product and operating independently. The designer will partner directly with product and engineering, conduct discovery with Trust & Safety customers and users, translate findings into design direction and actionable Linear tickets, and prototype flows at high fidelity before engineering begins implementation. They will also contribute to the design system and take on broader design projects such as brand, go-to-market materials, decks, the website, and marketing. The role is based in NYC, with relocation available for the right candidate, and emphasizes working together in person.

Responsibilities

Own end-to-end design for assigned surfaces, from problem framing through shipped UI, working directly with product and engineering.
Run discovery with Trust & Safety customers and users, and turn findings into design direction and Linear tickets engineers can build from.

Contribute to and help maintain the design system as the product scales.
