Staff Product Designer

Within•San Francisco, CA

About The Position

Within is a Series B company building AI agents for enterprise transformation. Its AI discovers how work happens across teams and applications, structures that information into a living Context Graph, and improves it continuously. The company reports $91 million raised and sevenfold growth last year, and says organizations including OpenAI, Google, DoorDash, and Stripe use its product. The Staff Product Designer is a senior individual contributor and force multiplier across Within’s product. The role leads multiple complex, ambiguous design efforts end to end, sets a high bar for craft and for the collaboration between design and code, and helps the AI-native enterprise product function as a coherent system. The designer brings work to life in working prototypes and the product itself alongside engineering. Within values systems thinking and a record of shipping rather than a degree. Designers at Within work hands-on in close loops with product and engineering, own problems end to end, prototype with AI tools or code, and help ship the product rather than handing off specifications. The team values craft, attention to states and edge cases, and getting work in front of users to iterate. Designing for AI is a core part of the role. The position includes end-to-end ownership of a product area; maintaining product-wide coherence as the product scales; establishing practices for prototyping and shipping with AI tools; owning UX patterns for AI-native and agentic workflows; grounding decisions in research and product outcomes; leading design-system strategy and governance; and mentoring and raising the craft bar across the team. Within offers equity in addition to competitive cash compensation and describes its benefits and office perks below.
