Remote Senior NA Developer Tools Product Designer

Requirements

• 5+ years designing software, with a focus on product or UX design. • A portfolio of shipped work. • Experience designing complex products, ideally for technical users: developer tools, infrastructure, data, security, identity, or APIs. • A track record of owning features or workflows end to end, from discovery through shipping. • Strong visual design, interaction, and craft skills. • Comfortable working through ambiguity within a defined problem area. • Have shipped developer-focused experiences, API tooling, or agent experiences. • Experience contributing to a design system, and knowing when to work outside it. • Use AI tools to prototype and explore ideas faster. • An engineering background, or comfort working in code. • Curious about developer tools and AI agents. • Equally comfortable thinking through a whole user journey and sweating the interaction details. • San Francisco Bay Area preferred

Responsibilities

• Own design for defined workflows in our developer tools, from discovery through shipped experience. • Partner day to day with engineers and PMs to shape what gets built, and bring a point of view on scope and trade-offs. • Scope v1s that deliver value quickly, then iterate based on usage and feedback. • Design for the details that make technical products trustworthy: states, edge cases, errors, and permissions. • Contribute reusable patterns and components to our design system, and help migrate product surfaces onto it. • Use AI tools to prototype and test ideas quickly, and run lightweight usability tests when the cost of being wrong is high. • Tie your work to outcomes such as task completion, developer activation, or fewer support tickets from confusing flows.
