Staff Product Designer

Within is seeking a Staff Product Designer to operate as a senior individual contributor, leading multiple complex design efforts from early problem definition through shipped, real-world experiences. This role also sets the direction for systems-level product and design-to-code practices, while shaping AI-native enterprise UX patterns that support dependable human-in-the-loop workflows.

What you will do

• Own a product area end to end: Lead complex, strategic design problems from problem framing to a real, shipped experience.
• Set the systems vision: Keep the whole product coherent as it scales by anticipating how flows, data, and product areas connect, including cross-area collisions that can happen before they do.
• Define how design and code work together: Partner with engineering to bring designs into the product, using AI tools fluently (including Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex) and establishing prototyping and shipping practices the team can adopt.
• Own AI-native UX patterns: Lead end-to-end UX for AI-native and agentic workflows, including human oversight, transparency, trust calibration, and evaluation criteria for what good AI output looks like, helping set the patterns used across the product.
• Ground decisions in users and outcomes: Drive discovery and user research using qualitative signals (interviews, usability testing) and quantitative data (product analytics, metrics, experiments), defining and measuring outcomes your work is accountable for.
• Drive design-system strategy in the AI era: Own the design system including components, tokens, patterns, and governance so it scales across design and code, enabling consistent, accessible, on-brand UI production. Set guardrails that keep AI-assisted UI on-brand and coherent as the team and product grow.
• Level up the team: Raise the craft bar through mentorship, feedback, and knowledge-sharing.

What you bring

• A designer who ships and multiplies: Strong design foundation, with a track record of building your own work and improving the designers around you.
• AI-native thinking: AI is already central to how you work and reason about problems.
• Exceptional craft and taste: Deep strength in interaction, hierarchy, states, and edge cases, including setting the quality bar others calibrate to.
• A systems thinker at product scale: Understanding of how components, flows, and data combine into one coherent experience across a complex enterprise product, with the ability to spot cross-area collisions in advance.
• Comfort with ambiguity and high agency: Ability to identify high-value problems, commit to direction, and move strategy and people even without authority.
• Additional fit markers: Extensive experience designing complex software, leading ambiguous high-impact work end to end, and examples of raising the bar across a team.

Tools you will use

• Claude Code, Cursor, Codex
• React, TypeScript
