Senior Product Designer

About Nearby AI

The problem you will own

Responsibilities

• Own product design end to end for the consumer and professional experiences: research, information architecture, interaction design, visual design, and the copy that carries them.
• Establish and maintain the design system so that multiple front ends stay one coherent product, and so engineering can move quickly without design debt.
• Design the decision, consent, and verification-disclosure patterns that are central to the product, and make trust legible without relying on badges or claims.
• Set the accessibility and inclusive-design standard for the company and hold every release to it.
• Run continuous discovery and usability research with real users, and turn findings into shipped changes on short cycles.
• Partner closely with product, engineering, and the AI team so that model behavior and interface behavior are designed together.
• Over time, shape the design function: hire, mentor, or remain a senior individual contributor with others around you.

Qualifications

• Required
• 6+ years of product design experience for Senior; 9+ years, including time at a staff or lead level, for Staff.
• Multiple consumer products shipped end to end, from research through launch, where you were the primary designer.
• A portfolio that shows a consistent, repeatable framework for how you approach problems, with outcomes stated. We will ask you to walk us through the framework, not only the screens.
• Ownership of a design system used by multiple engineers or teams.
• Fluency with AI-assisted design and prototyping tools as a daily production method, while retaining ownership of the judgment.
• Hands-on user research and usability testing that you planned and ran yourself, recently.
• Experience designing conversion-critical flows such as onboarding, forms, or transactions where user error carries real cost, with measured results.
• Strong writing. Interface copy is part of the design, and plain language is a requirement.
• Preferred
• Utility or tool products where the value lies in getting the user to a correct answer efficiently.
• High-stakes consumer flows in regulated or trust-sensitive domains such as financial services, insurance, healthcare, or public services.
• Two-sided marketplaces or products with both a consumer and a professional side.
• Shipped work that met a recognized accessibility standard and was tested with users of varying ability.
• Experience as the first or only designer at a company.
