About The Position

Cinder is hiring a Senior Product Designer as its product surface expands across agent-facing workflows, multiple product lines, and a growing brand and go-to-market footprint. The designer will serve as a co-lead and thought partner with the current designer, own significant product surfaces end to end, help shape design direction and craft standards, and contribute to defining how design operates at Cinder. The role involves close collaboration with product and engineering, direct customer discovery, high-fidelity prototyping, design-system work, and broader brand and marketing design when needed.

Expertise in Figma, including wireframing, flows, prototyping, and production-grade delivery.
Fluency with AI coding agents such as Cursor, Claude, and Codex for design and prototyping.
Ability to work through ambiguity, create clarity, and make decisions without a finished PRD or research.
Proactive approach, including identifying and fixing design debt without being asked.
Comfort speaking directly with customers and translating what they hear into product opportunities.
Strong systems thinking and ability to understand how changes in one part of a product affect other parts.
Experience building or maintaining a design system, including component libraries or patterns.
Front-end fluency, including comfort prototyping in code and taking on interim engineer-designer work.
Experience designing SaaS products, especially multi-product platforms and information-dense interfaces.
Empathy for the Trust & Safety problem space.

Nice To Haves

Experience designing AI or agentic products.
Motion design skills or a sense for delightful detail.
Familiarity with website CMS builders for brand and marketing support.
Interest in building design-team culture and rituals from scratch, such as critiques, standups, and lunch-and-learns.
A design background or lineage that brings range to the existing team.

Responsibilities

Own end-to-end design for assigned surfaces, from framing problems through shipped UI, working directly with product and engineering.
Conduct discovery with product by speaking with Trust & Safety customers and users, then translate findings into design direction and Linear tickets engineers can build from.
Create high-fidelity prototypes to pressure-test flows and align engineering before implementation.
Contribute to and help maintain the design system as the product scales.
Proactively own design projects beyond the core product, which may include brand, go-to-market materials, decks, the website, and marketing.
Participate in critique with the design lead, give and receive direct feedback, and help maintain a high bar for craft.
Help shape design direction and craft standards in partnership with the current designer.
