Staff Product Designer, Admin

Own the end-to-end design of the Admin Platform, including settings, IAM, billing, and policy surfaces across all Docker products. Ensure a coherent administrator experience while mentoring junior designers and partnering with Engineering and PM teams.

Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end design for the Admin Platform: settings, identity and access management, billing, policy surfaces, and cross-product admin workflows
• Ensure that administrators can manage their organizations and achieve their goals across every Docker product surface without hitting seams or contradictions
• Identify UX debt across the admin domain and drive it into the roadmap; you're accountable for the overall quality of the experience, not just the next sprint
• Partner closely with Engineering and PM to define how new products and features integrate with the admin platform in a way that feels coherent, not bolted on
• Use AI tools actively throughout the design process for prototyping, synthesis, and iteration
• Collaborate across stakeholders (product, engineering, sales, security, and legal) to build a shared design direction for how Docker serves its administrators
• Mentor and elevate more junior designers; your work should be the reference that others study and pull from

Requirements

• Proven track record designing admin, settings, or operations-facing surfaces: IAM, billing, policy management, audit and compliance UIs, org management, or similar
• Experience designing cross-product systems, not just screens, but the connective tissue between surfaces that has to stay coherent as the product grows
• Deep familiarity with developer tools, platforms, or infrastructure products; you understand the developer context even when designing primarily for the admin
• Solid grasp of qualitative and quantitative research methods; ability to synthesize across multiple evidence streams (telemetry, support, qualitative research, sales conversations) into a coherent point of view
• Fluency with prototyping and iterative development; you show thinking early and work it out in the open
• Ability to develop strong, informed opinions about new technology domains quickly, including areas like AI tooling and containerized environments you may not have designed for before
• Experience mentoring or coaching product designers; this role shapes design practice across the team, not just output within a single surface

Benefits

• Freedom & flexibility; fit your work around your life
• Designated quarterly Whaleness Days plus end of year Whaleness break
• Home office setup; we want you comfortable while you work
• 16 weeks of paid Parental leave (after 6 months of employment)
• Technology stipend equivalent to $100 USD net/month
• PTO plan that encourages you to take time to do the things you enjoy
• Training stipend for conferences, courses and classes
• Equity; we are a growing start-up and want all employees to have a share in the success of the company
