Matterworks, Inc. - Product Designer/Sr. Product Designer

• We care more about portfolio depth than years of experience. Typical Product Designer candidates have 3+ years; Senior Product Designer candidates have 6+, with significant time in a senior IC role. • A portfolio that demonstrates end-to-end ownership of complex product surfaces alongside systems thinking (reusable patterns, components, or design primitives). Please include a portfolio link with your application. • Genuine love for the craft of design. You sweat the details because you can't help yourself, study products you admire, and find joy in the work itself. • Strong self-direction. You can take a brief, run with it independently, and come back with credible progress without close supervision. • Experience designing data-dense interfaces (tables, plots, dashboards). • Curiosity about scientific domains. You don't need a biology background, but you should be excited to learn about mass spectrometry, omics, and the workflows of lab scientists. • Comfort pairing with engineers through implementation, not just at handoff. • Comfort with ambiguity and a bias for shipping. You'd rather get something in front of users in a day and iterate than design in isolation for a week. • Fluency in Figma, rapid-prototyping tools (Claude, v0, Cursor, or similar), and clear written communication. • Experience designing AI-powered, agentic, or model-driven products is a plus, especially work that spans multiple surfaces or modalities. • WORKING AT MATTERWORKS • Given the cross-disciplinary and innovative nature of our work, effective collaboration and communication are critical to our progress. We operate in a flexible hybrid model that accommodates both fully remote team members and those who work full-time from our Somerville, MA office. While some positions may require regular in-person presence for hands-on work or local collaboration, many roles can be performed remotely with team members distributed across various locations.
