Senior Product Designer

As a Senior Product Designer, you will design high-fidelity interfaces for complex features and collaborate closely with product, engineering, and creative teams. Your role will focus on ensuring usability and aesthetic alignment with the company's creative-first mission.

Responsibilities

• Lead the design of complex, software-style interfaces (e.g., node editors, workflow builders, multi-format editors, drag-and-drop canvases) with a clear focus on usability, visual clarity, and scalability.
• Translate user needs, business goals and technical constraints into intuitive UI/UX flows, wireframes, prototypes and high-fidelity designs.
• Work closely with product managers and engineers to define design requirements, refine feature scopes, iterate on prototypes, and ensure design specs are implemented with fidelity.
• Advocate for the user — conduct (or partner with) usability reviews, gather feedback, iterate design.
• Bring a creative industry mindset: understand how creators (artists, video editors, 3D/interactive designers) think, what their workflows are, and design for that context (not just generic SaaS tools).
• Develop, maintain and evolve design systems/components that support rapid iteration while maintaining visual and interaction consistency.
• Collaborate with brand, motion/animation, and visual design teams to ensure the UI reflects a high-quality, craft-oriented aesthetic.
• Ensure responsiveness, accessibility (where applicable), performance constraints and cross-platform consistency are factored into your designs.
• Communicate design rationale clearly to stakeholders and collaborate with engineering during implementation to maintain design integrity.

Requirements

• 5+ years of UX/UI / product design experience — specifically designing complex software-style tools (not just marketing sites or simple apps).
• Strong portfolio showing work on high-complexity interfaces: e.g., workflow editors, developer tools, creative tools, multi-pane dashboards, drag-drop UIs.
• Proven ability to design for creative industries (artists, designers, multimedia editors) or tooling used by creative professionals.
• Excellent visual design sensibilities: typography, layout, color, spacing, iconography, motion/interaction.
• Proficiency with design & prototyping tools (e.g., Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD, Principle, After Effects) and with handing off to engineering.
• Familiarity with design systems and component-based UI design.
• Strong communication skills — able to articulate design decisions, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and adapt to feedback.
• Self-motivated, comfortable working remotely and in a startup/fast-paced environment with evolving requirements.
