Senior Product Designer

Squer 🇦🇹 Vienna, Austria

Hybrid $63,000 - $80,000 Full-time Senior

Own the end-to-end design process from problem discovery and human-centered research to high-fidelity prototyping and implementation. Collaborate with engineers and stakeholders to ensure product vision alignment and translate design decisions into scalable design system rules.

Responsibilities

  • Product Discovery: Run human-centered research and usability tests to understand behaviors, pain points, and expectations, and turn findings into a clear point of view on which problem is worth solving
  • Build interactive, high-fidelity prototypes to explore ideas and validate them early, increasingly in code-based tools rather than static mockups
  • Design Execution: Own design across the lifecycle from discovery to implementation with autonomy and high quality, keeping consistency and alignment with the product vision
  • AI-assisted Work: Use AI tools to free yourself from execution work, so your attention goes to the decisions AI cannot make for you
  • Capturing Context: Turn design decisions into reusable context, constraints, and design-system rules the team and its tooling can build on, instead of one-off handover specs
  • Collaboration and Alignment: Partner with engineers, product owners, and stakeholders, and explain your design rationale confidently to clients and decision makers
  • Enabling Engineers: Help engineers take on a product-focused perspective through shared discovery and human-centred methods, so the team builds the right thing, not just builds faster

Requirements

  • Proven Design Practice: A track record of shipped products over 4+ years and across contexts (B2B, SaaS, or complex domain products a plus)
  • Tool Fluency: Proficient in Figma and Adobe Cloud, and fluent with prompt-driven UI tools (Claude Design, v0, Lovable)
  • Basic understanding of HTML, CSS, and React is a strong plus
  • Design System Literacy: Experience building and evolving design systems that scale across products
  • Product Judgment: You reason about whether the team is solving the right problem, not only whether the interface works
  • Communication: You explain design decisions clearly and bring people with you
  • Appetite for a Changing Role: You are drawn to a role that will keep shifting as AI takes over more of the production work
  • Consulting Mindset: Hands-on, pragmatic, solution-oriented, and able to thrive in dynamic client projects
  • Languages: Fluent in English and German

Benefits

  • Ownership & Responsibility: Empowering our team with flat hierarchies
  • Learn & Grow: € 5.000 annual training budget and in-house Leadership Academy
  • Exciting Challenges & Real Impact: Diverse projects where your work truly makes a difference
  • Flexibility for Performance: Hybrid work options, flexible hours, workations within the EU, and additional vacation days
  • Tailored Tools for Success: Choose your preferred hardware configuration
  • We Value You: Competitive annual salary to recognize your exceptional contributions
  • Be Part of a Thriving Team Culture: Collaboration and connection are at the heart of what we do
  • A Perks-Packed Workplace: Free lunch, MyClubs sports membership, free "Wiener Linien" ticket or partial contribution to the "Klimaticket", free massages, referral bonuses, Corporate Benefits, and JobRad
  • Annual employee presents and a monthly team breakfast
