Role Overview
A position is available for a Senior Product Designer to join a small, fast-moving team of AI builders shipping production-grade internal tools for a content organization. This role will be the sole designer across multiple product surfaces, including dashboards, workflow automation tools, CRM systems, and AI-powered reporting. The objective is to ensure a consistent, high-quality experience while building from the ground up.

Collaborate directly with senior engineers in a pod-based model, emphasizing fast iteration with minimal heavy process.

Simplify complex, multi-source data views into single-screen experiences that eliminate context-switching.

Conduct user research and usability testing with internal stakeholders.

Engage in rapid prototyping and iteration on new tool concepts.

A portfolio demonstrating relevant work is required. Candidates should have 5+ years of experience designing complex internal tools, enterprise SaaS, or developer platforms. A proven ability to operate as the sole designer on an engineering-heavy team is necessary.

Technical Skills:

The portfolio must demonstrate experience in simplifying complex workflows through strong interaction design and information architecture.

Preferred Qualifications

Front-end development skills (React, TypeScript) with the ability to implement designs directly.

Experience designing for AI/ML-powered features or agentic systems.

Experience building and maintaining shared component libraries for design systems.
