DesignProduct Designer

This is an opportunity to join a small, senior design team shaping a fast-moving B2B platform built for engineers and technical teams working with AI-assisted software development. You will own complex product problems across coding agents, developer tooling, desktop experiences, and infrastructure and spend management interfaces. The role combines end-to-end product design, independent user research, product strategy, and hands-on prototyping. You will work closely with engineers and other designers, bringing a strong point of view while navigating ambiguity and technical constraints. AI-assisted development is an important part of the workflow, with opportunities to prototype directly in code rather than relying solely on traditional design tools. In a remote-first international environment, your work will directly influence how technical teams build, manage, and scale AI-powered development workflows.

Own product problems end-to-end across CLI, desktop applications, inference and spend consoles, and developer tooling, from initial research through shipped designs and measurable outcomes.
Lead user research independently by planning studies, conducting research, synthesizing findings, and translating insights into recommendations for product direction.
Prototype directly in code when appropriate, using AI-assisted development workflows to test and validate ideas within the product.
Contribute a clear point of view to product strategy discussions, supported by product usage, research evidence, competitive awareness, and an understanding of user needs.
Collaborate with engineers and other designers to develop solutions that balance user experience, technical constraints, architecture, and business objectives.
Participate in cross-team design reviews to identify overlap, maintain consistency, raise the quality bar, and stay aligned with broader product initiatives.
Monitor design debt within your area and advocate for improvements when usability risks, technical constraints, or user feedback make them a priority.
Communicate design decisions and research findings clearly through concise documentation and effective collaboration across a distributed organization.

Senior-level product design experience demonstrated through a strong portfolio or case studies focused on developer tools, AI/LLM products, coding agents, or other technical and data-heavy SaaS platforms.
Proven ability to own user research end-to-end and use research findings to influence product direction rather than simply contributing to studies led by others.
Hands-on experience with AI-assisted development workflows such as Claude Code, Cursor, or similar tools, combined with genuine interest in working directly with code and the product.
Strong ability to form, communicate, and defend design decisions in ambiguous environments without relying on predefined processes.
Experience designing for technical or engineering-focused users, with the confidence to discuss APIs, architecture, system constraints, and technical trade-offs with engineers.
Strong asynchronous communication skills, including the ability to create concise documentation and make compelling cases through writing.
Experience working independently across the full product design lifecycle, from research and discovery through prototyping, delivery, and measuring outcomes.
Nice to have: experience designing CLI or terminal-based interfaces, familiarity with desktop applications, or experience presenting design and research findings to executive stakeholders.
Strong curiosity, ownership, and willingness to work hands-on in a fast-moving product environment.
