Senior Product Designer - Consumer Tech (SF Bay Area)
Our client, an early-stage consumer AI startup founded by experienced entrepreneurs (ex-Google, Twitter,), is looking for a Senior Product Designer with a deep consumer focus. This well-funded company, backed by a top-tier VC, is targeting hundreds of millions of global users with an ambitious product.
Key Requirements:
- Consumer Design Expertise : Must have 3+ years of consumer-focused experience, with strong intuition about how consumers think and behave.
- App & Website Product Design : At least 5+ years of hands-on design experience across all stages, from visual to interaction.
- Figma Expert : Ability to quickly translate ideas into clickable prototypes in minutes.
- Full Design Ownership : Willing to handle all aspects of design (visual, interaction, content, etc.) with the autonomy to hire for any areas outside their direct expertise.
- Startup Environment Experience : Proven track record of working in ultra-fast-paced environments and collaborating with smart engineers.
- SF Bay Area Based : Must be located in or near the SF Bay Area and able to be in the office (Mountain View) at least four days a week.
- Hands-On Designer : Ideally at L4 - L5 level, but must be highly hands-on.
- Ambiguity Navigator : Able to manage uncertainty with a positive, proactive approach.
Nice-to-Have Skills:
- Leadership Experience : Leadership skills are a bonus, though not required, as the role is initially focused on individual contributions.
- Consumer-Facing Product Experience : Ideally has experience working on at least one product feature with tens of millions of global users.
- AI Knowledge : Willing to dive deep into AI and learn about it.
- Basic Coding : Willing to learn to use IDE/Git to commit style changes.
Not a Fit:
- Candidates with only enterprise or developer-focused design experience.
This is an exciting opportunity to shape the design of a product that aims to reach a massive global audience while being part of a tight-knit, dynamic team. If you are a hands-on designer ready to make an impact in the consumer tech space, this could be the role for you!
