About The Position

As a Senior Product Designer at Affinity, you’ll have the opportunity to fundamentally change the way people leverage their relationships to do business. You’ll be working on complex, data-rich SaaS products to make them intuitive, useful, and delightful. We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer to join our small, growing design team. In this role, we are looking for a true generalist who is excited about the entire product design lifecycle. You will fully own your research, from early discovery and customer interviews to usability testing. You will then translate those insights into elegant, high-fidelity user experiences. As we continue to push the boundaries of relationship intelligence, you will design innovative experiences for AI-augmented product surfaces. We want a designer who isn't just comfortable designing for AI, but who is also excited to use AI and modern design tools, including basic front-end code or vibe-coding, to prototype and bring ideas to life. Most importantly, we're looking for someone who is excited to roll up their sleeves, tackle ambiguous SaaS and data challenges, and contribute to the design culture here at Affinity.
