Sr. Product Designer - Consumer Mobile

We're looking for an exceptional **Senior AI Product Designer** to help design the next generation of **consumer mobile products.** This is **not a traditional UI/UX role** where success means producing polished Figma screens and handing them off to engineering. We want someone who can go from: **Idea -> UX -> prototype -> real user test -> iteration** **in days, not weeks.** **You should be deeply comfortable designing consumer mobile experiences, but also be highly fluent with the new generation of AI tools that are changing how products are designed and built.** What You'll Do -------------- You'll own product design across key parts of our consumer mobile experience, working closely with product, engineering, growth, and leadership. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ You will: * Design intuitive, beautiful consumer mobile experiences from concept through production * Turn rough ideas into interactive prototypes extremely quickly * Use **Figma + AI coding/prototyping tools** to test ideas beyond static mockups * Build functional prototypes using tools like **Claude / Claude Code, Codex, Lovable, Cursor, Replit, or similar** * **Prototype real product behavior, interactions, animations, AI conversations, onboarding flows, and personalization** * **Work directly with engineers to ship high-quality experiences** * **Test prototypes with users before significant engineering resources are committed** * **Use AI throughout your workflow to dramatically increase the speed and quality of product iteration** * **Think through the underlying product problemnot just how the interface should look** * **Help determine what we should build**, not simply design what someone else specifies What We're Looking For ---------------------- **Strong consumer mobile product experience** You have designed products used by real consumers at meaningful scale. You understand: * Mobile UX patterns * Onboarding and activation * Habit formation and retention * Subscription/paywall experiences * Personalization * Gamification * AI-native UX * Designing for speed, simplicity, and delight Experience with consumer subscription apps, education, wellness, fitness, social, productivity, or other high-frequency consumer products is especially relevant. **You are AI-native** Using AI should already be a fundamental part of how you work. We expect you to be actively experimenting with tools such as: * Claude / Claude Code * OpenAI Codex * Lovable * Cursor * Replit * Figma AI * AI image/video generation tools * Emerging prototyping and agentic development tools You don't need to be a production engineer. But you **should be capable of building functional prototypes yourself**. If your workflow still looks like: **requirements -> wireframes -> Figma -> developer handoff** **you are probably not the right fit.** **We are looking for someone whose workflow increasingly looks like:** **problem -> prototype -> test -> learn -> iterate -> ship** **Strong product thinking** The strongest candidates think like a designer **and** a product manager. You should naturally ask: * What user problem are we solving? * Is this actually valuable? * What is the simplest version we can test? * What behavior are we trying to change? * How will we know if this worked? * Can we prototype this before engineering builds it? * What happens after the first session? * Why would someone come back tomorrow? You should be comfortable challenging assumptions and proposing better product solutions rather than simply executing a brief. **Big Plus: Motion & Interaction Design** Motion design experience is a major advantage. We want our products to feel alive, especially as AI makes software increasingly conversational, personalized, and dynamic. Experience with any of the following is valuable: * Rive * After Effects * Principle * ProtoPie * Framer * Lottie * Advanced Figma prototyping * Native mobile animation patterns * Microinteractions and gesture design You don't need to be a dedicated motion designer, but having strong instincts around **movement, interaction, and delight** will make you stand out. You Might Be a Great Fit If... * You obsess over consumer products and constantly notice why certain experiences feel dramatically better than others * You are equally comfortable thinking about the **product concept** and the **last 10% of visual polish** * **You have already changed your workflow significantly because of AI** * **You prototype ideas yourself rather than waiting for engineers** * **You move unusually fast without sacrificing taste** * **You understand that the best prototype isn't necessarily a Figma prototypeit might be something a user can actually interact with** * **You care about outcomes, not design deliverables** * **You have strong opinions but change your mind quickly when the data or user feedback says otherwise** * **You're excited about designing products where AI itself is a core part of the user experience** **What We Don't Want** This role is probably not a fit if: * Your primary strength is creating beautiful static screens * You rely on engineers for every functional prototype * You haven't meaningfully incorporated AI tools into your workflow * You prefer receiving detailed product requirements instead of helping define the product * You optimize primarily for design-process artifacts rather than shipped user outcomes **Being great at Figma is table stakes. It is not enough.** **Ideal Background** There is no single required background, but strong candidates will often have some combination of: * 4+ years of product design experience * Significant consumer mobile app experience * Experience shipping products used by hundreds of thousands or millions of users * Strong visual/UI design skills * Experience designing AI-powered product experiences * Experience building working prototypes with AI coding tools * Product management or founder experience * Motion/interaction design experience * Experience working in a high-growth startup or product-led company **Portfolio** When applying, please send: 1. **23 consumer mobile products you've designed** and explain specifically what you owned 2. **A functional prototype you've built yourself**, ideally using AI coding/prototyping tools 3. An example of how **AI has changed your product design workflow** 4. **Your portfolio** 5. **Your favorite consumer mobile product right now and one thing you would improve about it** We care much more about **what you've actually built and how you think** than your title, degree, or years of experience.
