This is a hands-on individual contributor role for a senior product designer who can independently own design work from early exploration through prototyping, validation, and iteration. The role is not focused on people leadership or high-level design strategy.

The ideal candidate is comfortable designing for technical and partner-facing audiences, working within an established design system, and using AI-assisted tools to accelerate prototyping and design exploration.

Enterprise experience strongly preferred.

  • Design clear, intuitive product experiences for employer and ATS partner integrations.

  • Translate complex technical systems and partner workflows into usable product experiences.

  • Create user flows, wireframes, interaction designs, visual designs, and interactive prototypes.

  • Work hands-on in Figma throughout the design process.

  • Use AI-assisted design and prototyping tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, or similar tools.

  • Design within an established design system and follow existing component and interaction standards.

  • Plan or support usability testing and apply findings to design iterations.

  • Support A/B testing by creating design variants and incorporating experiment results.

  • Take ownership of assigned design work with limited oversight.

  • Communicate design decisions clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

  • Experience with A/B testing.

  • Ability to design complex, technical, or partner-facing product workflows.

  • Portfolio demonstrating relevant product UX design work.

  • Ability to work independently and take ownership from the beginning of the engagement.

Nice-to-Have Skills

  • Experience with applicant tracking systems, recruiting technology, or HR technology.

  • Experience designing developer-facing or API-facing products.

  • Experience designing for two-sided marketplace platforms.

  • Experience with job seeker and employer marketplace products.

  • Experience applying WCAG 2.2 accessibility standards.

  • Experience with inclusive design principles.
