Product Designer

The Product Designer will deliver design solutions for medium-sized projects largely independently, shaping experiences that simplify scientific complexity. They will collaborate with cross-functional teams to execute tasks and contribute to the design system.

Responsibilities

• Deliver design solutions for projects of medium-sized scope and complexity, working largely independently.
• Deliver designs for all stages of product development as needed (user flows, wireframes, mockups, AI-generated and interactive prototypes, handover specifications, journey maps) that meet or exceed user needs and have a sense of craftsmanship.
• Embrace and advance AI-first design practices, using generative AI and rapid prototyping tools to accelerate exploration, test assumptions early, and push the boundaries of what's possible in our product experience.
• Go beyond best practices in your design solutions, uncovering novel and unexpected yet viable solutions.
• Guide the UX direction in your product area by familiarizing yourself with user problems for your product area, business goals, and mapping the relevant user journeys.

Requirements

• 2+ years of experience in product design or equivalent, with a portfolio showing high-quality work on complex products.
• Undergraduate degree or equivalent combination of continued education and experience in a related field (i.e. design, human-computer interaction, UX design, software engineering, etc.).
• Demonstrated ability to contribute to UX within a product area and deliver user-centric solutions in collaboration with cross-functional peers.
• Strong visual, interaction, and systems thinking skills, with proficiency in low- to high-fidelity prototyping.
• Demonstrated experience using AI prototyping tools (e.g., Claude, Cursor, v0, or similar) to accelerate design exploration and validation.
• Comfort in navigating ambiguity and using experimentation to validate design direction.
• Experience contributing to design systems, patterns, and guidelines at a product or design org level would be an asset.
• Skilled communication, able to explain rationale, influence stakeholders, and mentor others.
