Responsibilities
• As Senior Product Designer, you'll own the design of Playlab surfaces, from prototype through shipped product. • Craft: Your work has a clear point of view, is pertinent, and production-grade. You have good instincts for when to ship fast to keep us learning, and when to slow down for things that need more care. • Product sense: You form well-reasoned points of view on core product questions because you stay close to the problems Playlab is solving, and you bring that perspective into decisions about the work you own. You can hold unresolved questions and keep moving through the ambiguity. • Initiative: Given a fuzzy goal or problem, you can define the design space, gather the right context, and drive it through prototyping and iteration to a shipped solution. You think ahead of dependencies, edge cases, and second-order questions. You proactively bring leadership along to validate decisions as you build. • Technical fluency: You build with and on AI. You have enough technical understanding to judge what's worth building. You stay current with where AI is heading and build or curate custom tooling to work faster. • Taste: You have a clear, articulable point of view on what makes something good across visual, interaction, and communication design, including the restraint to know when a rough edge serves the work better. • YOU ARE A FIT IF ... • 1. You have at least 5 years of experience as a strong design generalist with a home base in product design and a track record in one or more other design disciplines. • 2. You can lead design on the projects you own while collaborating closely across the team. • 3. You have broad knowledge of creative tools and workflows, including the ones that leverage AI, and you build or curate tooling to speed up your own work. • 4. You care about learning and enjoy spending time in learning environments and with the people who create them (teachers, students, school leaders, etc.). • 5. You find joy in getting technical and working with engineers. You might even push some code yourself.
