You’ll own design for one of the most important product areas. That means you define the problem, shape the direction, and ship the experience—not wait for a brief. The specific area will be determined based on your strengths and company priorities.
You’ll report into the product design organization and work as the most senior design IC on your product area, partnering directly with product managers, engineers, and design leadership. You’ll also work alongside other Leads across the product surface. As the team grows, you’ll be expected to raise the bar for the designers around you.
Responsibilities
Own a product area end-to-end: identify opportunities, frame the problem, set design direction, and ship—operating as a peer to Product and Engineering, not a downstream executor
Design complex, multi-step product flows that serve multiple user types—balancing creator needs against member experience, and making sophisticated behavior feel simple
Prototype and test at speed—using AI-assisted tools, code-generation workflows, and whatever gets you to a testable concept fastest
Influence product strategy beyond your own surface: contribute to roadmap conversations, flag opportunities other teams miss, and connect dots across the product
Drive the craft standard on your area—interaction design, visual quality, and the small details that separate polished product from “good enough”
Collaborate closely with engineers and design engineers to turn concepts into working, shippable experiences—not hand off specs and hope
Raise the bar for the broader design team through feedback, shared frameworks, and the quality of your own output
