Product Designer I
Togetherwork, Austin, TX, United States
Overview
Many of our products were built over time across distributed teams and evolving standards. We are modernizing these applications to create clearer, more accessible, and more scalable user experiences. Role: Product Designer I (Associate)
Department: Product Reports To: VP of Design & Usability Location: Austin, TX (Hybrid Required) We are also rethinking how design work gets done. AI is not a side tool on this team — it is embedded in how we research, prototype, build, and deliver. We expect every designer to actively use AI across their workflow, push its limits, and share what they learn. This is an early-career role with real ownership. You will work on meaningful product problems, contribute to shared design systems, and experiment with AI-augmented workflows daily. The pace is fast, the problems are ambiguous, and the tools are still being invented. This is not a pixel-polishing role. This is not a role with rigid process and predictable deliverables. This is a foundational product design role in an environment where experimentation is the expectation. What You\'ll Do
A Collaborative Partner to Product and Engineering Own UX for specific features or defined product areas within the Togetherwork portfolio, from discovery through delivery Improve clarity, usability, and accessibility within existing workflows — using AI-assisted analysis to identify issues and validate solutions faster Contribute to shared design system components by applying established patterns and proposing improvements Collaborate closely with product managers and engineers, translating ambiguous requirements into testable design directions Use AI tools daily — for research synthesis, competitive analysis, rapid prototyping, copy generation, accessibility checks, and workflow automation Experiment with emerging AI capabilities and share findings with the team; your discoveries will shape how we work Iterate on designs based on feedback from senior designers, cross-functional partners, and real usage data Participate in modernization efforts across legacy workflows, bringing fresh perspective and modern tooling to established products You will work in an environment where teams are being built, processes are maturing, and standards are evolving. You will gain exposure to systems thinking, scalable UX practices, and AI-augmented design workflows as part of your growth. Qualifications
Required Qualifications
2–4 years of product design experience (internships or relevant experience included) Experience working on SaaS products or complex workflows (academic or professional) Foundational understanding of UX principles and interaction design Strong communication skills and openness to feedback Demonstrated, active use of AI tools in your design workflow — not just awareness, but regular practice across research, prototyping, or building A portfolio showing clear problem framing, thoughtful design decisions, and AI-augmented work Portfolio Requirements
Clear articulation of the problem and constraints Evidence of iteration based on feedback Thoughtful application of usability principles Concrete examples of AI tools in your process — what you used, how it changed your approach, and what you learned As part of the interview process, candidates will be asked to present work and discuss their problem framing, design decisions, and how they incorporated feedback.
