Senior Product Designer
About The Position
The Product Design team at CircleCI makes the complexities of CI/CD understandable, trustworthy, and efficient for developers and platform teams. The team works to understand developer and agentic workflows for configuring, troubleshooting, and managing pipelines at scale, and influences design and product decisions to help customers shorten the distance between idea and delivery. Senior Product Designers turn business context into design strategy that product and engineering teams can rally around, then translate that strategy into products for developers. The role builds expertise in developer tooling while balancing shifting priorities in a highly technical domain. It is hands-on in delivering high-impact solutions to real-world problems and includes coaching designers to maintain a high bar for craft without slowing delivery. This is a hybrid role based in San Francisco, requiring two days per week in the office.
