About the role

We are looking for a Senior Product Designer with strong craft, sharp attention to detail, and build effective and  intuitive, high-quality solutions.This role is a key backfill position and crucial for delivering on our 2026 Product & Tech ambitions. We’re looking for a senior designer who wants to build — someone energized by crafting and shipping meaningful experiences. You’re comfortable understanding the broader strategy, but you’re most motivated by turning it into tangible, elegant solutions with strong execution.

You’ll join a tight-knit team of four designers within a strong Product & Tech organization, where the foundation is solid and the ambition is to raise the bar even higher. You’ll own initiatives end-to-end, working closely with Product and Engineering to shape and ship thoughtful, high-quality experiences. We’re looking for someone proactive and hands-on — a designer who turns ambiguity into clear, elegant solutions and takes pride in what goes live.

Design already plays an important role in our product development process, and we are continuing to strengthen its influence. We’re looking for someone who can articulate design decisions clearly, build trust through collaboration, and help elevate design’s voice by contributing actively and pragmatically alongside Product and Engineering.

We intentionally build time into our projects for experimentation with new AI tools and workflows, and we expect designers to actively explore how emerging technologies can improve both the product experience and how we work.

This is a senior individual contributor role. In our small design team, growth is measured by impact and influence rather than titles or management tracks. We value depth of craft, ownership, and the ability to consistently raise the bar.

The role includes

• Own the end-to-end user experience — from discovery and concept development to final implementation.
  

• Translate insights into clear, evidence-based design decisions, and confidently communicate and advocate them across teams.
  

• Craft high-quality, accessible UI aligned with our Digital Identity and Design System, supported by thoughtful interaction and prototyping.
  

• Collaborate closely with Product Managers and Engineers to shape, build, and ship impactful solutions.
  

• Drive innovative yet feasible design solutions that balance user value, business goals, and technical constraints.
  

• Ensure strong design execution during implementation by working hands-on with developers.
  

• Measure and evaluate shipped solutions, using data and insights to continuously refine and improve the experience.
  

• Facilitate workshops and design discussions to align stakeholders and move initiatives forward.
  

About you

• You have solid experience designing and shipping digital products, with ownership from discovery through implementation. You’re comfortable turning ambiguity into clear, well-crafted solutions.

• You think beyond individual features and understand how design decisions connect to business goals, technical constraints, and long-term product quality.

• You communicate your thinking clearly and confidently, adapting your message to engineers, product managers, and stakeholders. You collaborate well and know how to move work forward.

• You bring strong craft and attention to detail, with advanced skills in Figma and prototyping tools — but your value lies in your judgment, not just your tools.

• You’re comfortable in a fast-paced environment and adapt your methods to the problem and team at hand.

• You actively seek and give constructive feedback. You’re comfortable having your work challenged and don’t take critique personally — your focus is on creating the best possible outcome. 

• You’re curious, open to new perspectives, and motivated to continuously improve your craft and explore new ways of working.

• You take initiative and ownership. You don’t wait to be told what to work on — you identify opportunities, surface problems worth solving, and proactively drive improvements. You are motivated by impact and naturally look for where you can add the most value.
