Senior Product Designer
Overview

Job Description
We’re hiring a Senior Product Designer to own core product surfaces end to end, from the first sketch to a prototype running in the browser.
Responsibilities
- - Own core product surfaces from concept through working prototype: booking flows, scheduling primitives, team and enterprise surfaces
- - Build and test working prototypes with whatever answers the question fastest, whether that’s Figma, Claude Code, Cursor, or v0
- - Hand off prototypes that engineers can build from directly. Correct semantics, real states, composed from our primitives, no shortcuts that fall apart in production
- - Continually improve coss ui. Audit what exists, close the gaps, refine the primitives, and land new components in the library rather than one-off in the app
- - Keep the system honest: tokens, spacing, states, dark mode, motion. Every new surface should make the library better, not route around it
- - Pressure-test the architecture alongside Design Engineering: data shape, state boundaries, what’s a primitive vs. a one-off
- - Own the outcome, not just the artifact. Frame the hypothesis, define what success looks like, stay with it through implementation, and read the results
- - Hold the accessibility bar: keyboard paths, focus management, semantics, contrast, motion preferences. Non-negotiable, not a QA pass at the end
- - Sweat the last 10%. Empty states, error copy, loading behavior, motion. The details that separate a good product from one people love
- - Work in the open with the Head of Product and Design Engineer. Share early, invite the critique, and let other people’s constraints change your design
- - Write your thinking down. Async means the doc, the Loom, and the prototype are the meeting
Required Skills
- - Senior-level product design experience. You’ve owned complex, ambiguous product areas from problem framing through launch and iteration
- - Exceptional craft. Your portfolio holds up at 400% zoom, and you care about the details most people never name
- - You build interactive prototypes independently, in code. HTML, CSS, TypeScript, React. You don’t need an engineer to make an idea real
- - You work in the AI tooling daily (Claude Code, Cursor, v0) and you have opinions about where it helps and where it lies
- - Deep familiarity with web standards and platform primitives. You know what the browser already does before you reach for a library
- - Real design systems experience. You’ve built and maintained one, not just consumed one. You know the difference between a component and a primitive, and when a pattern has earned its place in the library
- - Fluency with headless primitive composition (Base UI, Radix, or similar). Direct coss ui or Base UI experience is a strong plus
- - Real accessibility knowledge. WCAG, ARIA, assistive tech, and the judgment to know when the spec isn’t enough
- - You understand the architecture of what you’re designing: APIs, data models, state, and the constraints they impose
- - Comfort with evidence. You can form a hypothesis, pick a measure, and read what the data says even when it disagrees with the design
- - Collaborative by default. You show unfinished work, take critique well, and give it directly. Strong opinions, genuinely held loosely
- - Strong written communication (clarity > formality)
- - High trust, high autonomy mindset. Thrives async, without going quiet
Benefits
- - Work from anywhere, anytime, fully remote & async
- - Earn the same salary no matter where you live
- - No standups, no micromanagement, no unnecessary calls
- - Real flexibility, take time for life stuff, no approval needed
- - Work in your own flow, pajamas welcome
- - 30 paid OOO days per year (wherever you are in the world)
- - Yearly team retreats in beautiful locations
- - People-first culture, stable, family-friendly, kind
