You will be responsible for translating technical and complex workflows into intuitive experiences for our users. Having a strong understanding of enterprise software concepts, such as SSO, permissions management, API integrations, and security protocols will be helpful in this role. You'll be responsible for bridging the gap between engineering constraints and user needs, making sophisticated administrative capabilities accessible to users of varying technical expertise.

In this role, you will:

• Balance technical complexity and constraints with intuitive user experience while holding a high craft and quality bar. Partner closely with engineering throughout implementation to provide feedback and make pragmatic tradeoffs that preserve user value.

• Communicate design rationale effectively to diverse stakeholders, from technical teams to executive leadership, building alignment around user-driven solutions.

You're likely a good fit if you have:

• Product Design Experience: 4+ years designing digital products with a strong portfolio that demonstrates your process, systems thinking, and measurable impact on user outcomes.

• Cross-Functional Partnership: A collaborative approach to product development—working closely with Product Managers to identify opportunities, with Engineers to navigate technical constraints and review implementations, and with stakeholders across the organization to align on solutions.

• User-Centered Approach: A deep commitment to understanding user needs through research and direct engagement. You drive research initiatives, translate findings into design decisions, and stay informed on industry trends and AI developments that shape the product landscape.

• Craft Excellence: Meticulous attention to craft and detail. You're proficient in Figma, build scalable component systems, and consistently elevate the quality of everything you touch. Bonus points for strong visual design skills in typography, layout, color, and composition.
