Kota - Senior Product Designer - Embed

• A designer who has worked inside a complex product (ideally B2B, double ideally it was API-driven), understands why the data model constrains the interface, and finds that constraint interesting rather than annoying. • You've shipped something with invisible complexity. Not a marketing site, not a dashboard with toggles. You succeeded, and you can explain how you thought through it. • Research methods at sprint cadence. 5-user tests, rapid Figma Make/Cursor/Paper prototyping, Datadog/Mixpanel log analysis, facilitating internal design reviews. You also know when to skip research and ship. The mantra: "rough data is better than no data; you can't remove uncertainty - triage it" • Outcomes-over-outputs discipline. Lock down problem / assumptions / success criteria before agreeing to a solution. • Systems thinking - promoting patterns to primitives. Recurring interaction surfaces become design-system components. • UX influence work. Getting devs/stakeholders to attend usability sessions. Building and facilitating ceremonies (standups, retros, backlog grooming) so design becomes shared team context, not an isolated artifact. • Craft fundamentals. Type, spacing, rhythm, hierarchy. The basics, worked at 400% zoom - quality and speed aren't opposites. • Builder craft. Cursor / Claude Code comfort. Treating prototypes as spec means producing working prototypes is the design output. Closing the gap between design and engineering rather than widening it. • THINGS YOU MIGHT KNOW ABOUT OR BE INTERESTED IN • Embedded financial products. • Fintech, financial services, insurance, or benefits platforms. • Developer product experiences, understanding of how to design for technical users and embedded/integration-heavy products. • Have Integrity. We care deeply about our why and it won’t jeopardise our how. • Care Deeply. Our products are our story, we look at the details, go the extra mile to delight customers. • Own Your Ship. Ask why, do the work, get the data, solve the problem, be an owner. • Raise the Bar. We continuously look to push past good enough. Expect more, move faster, and never stop raising your and the team’s standards. • Play to Win. We exist because we decided to say no to the norm – now we do this everyday. • And of course....
