Staff Product Designer, Growth
About The Position
We're looking for a Senior Product Designer with a high bar for both product thinking and visual craft. You care deeply about how things work and how they look, and you do not treat those as separate concerns. You are an end-to-end product thinker: systems-fluent, research-informed, and comfortable owning a problem from framing through launch. You also bring a genuine eye for design. Bold typography, purposeful motion, and expressive micro-interactions are part of how you solve problems, not a layer you apply at the end. You set a high bar for yourself and help raise it for the people around you. You notice things, form a point of view, and move. You also treat AI as a core part of your practice and have used it to ship real product.
Requirements
- 6-8 years shipping consumer or B2C digital products, end-to-end: from problem framing and research through detailed UI and launch
- Mastery of Figma, including components, auto layout, variables, and prototyping; strong design systems fluency
- Product strategy chops: you connect user needs to business outcomes and make smart tradeoffs
- Deep user empathy and excellent collaboration skills across product, engineering, data, and marketing
- Curious about AI design tools and actively using them to move faster
