Requirements
• 5+ years of product design experience, with a portfolio that shows you've owned complex work end-to-end, not just executed on it • Experience with technically sophisticated B2B or infrastructure products.

Responsibilities
• Own discovery and design on problems that don't always come with a clear brief, from early framing through delivery and QA. • Work closely with engineers and PMs to move from a fuzzy problem to something well-reasoned and shippable. • Deliver across surfaces, GUI and CLI alike, and stay engaged through implementation, not just handoff. • Treat feedback as part of the work, not a checkpoint. Seek it out from peers, your team, and your manager, and use it to make the work better. • Take initiative in how you collaborate and push for clarity, even on projects you're not leading. • Understand the product areas you touch well enough to know when a decision has implications beyond the immediate problem. • Use AI tools where they actually help, synthesizing research, exploring directions faster, pressure-testing ideas.
