Job Description

Hybrid role in Austin, TX where you’ll design end-to-end product experiences for maintenance engineers, field service technicians, and operations planners. This Principal Product Designer position combines ownership, research, AI and emerging technology thinking, and practical design system work, with an emphasis on accessibility and measurable impact in the field.

What you’ll get

Flexible paid time off, including sick and holiday
Medical, dental, & vision insurance
401K with company contribution
Flexible spending accounts
Life insurance and disability benefits
Tuition assistance
Community involvement and volunteering events

IFS supports flexibility and hybrid work to fit diverse needs and lifestyles, while building inclusive workplace experiences through community, connection, and belonging.

Responsibilities

Own design for defined feature areas end-to-end, from problem framing through production-ready Figma files, with clear rationale for decisions
Partner in a cross-functional squad with engineers and PMs, making real decisions together instead of executing on someone else’s brief
Present design thinking confidently to stakeholders, addressing pushback with evidence
Plan and run user interviews, JTBD analysis, and journey mapping independently, translating findings into clear design direction
Use both quantitative signals and qualitative insight to drive iteration
Design AI-driven features with an understanding of where AI helps and where it introduces risk, including prompts, fallbacks, and human-in-the-loop moments
Bring perspective on how today’s interfaces may become obsolete and what should replace them
Contribute to the IFS design system by proposing reusable components and patterns, not one-off UI
Apply WCAG 2.1+ accessibility standards from the start, including edge cases, error states, and real-world data

Requirements

8+ years of end-to-end product design experience (discovery through shipped product) with evidence of real ownership
Comfort running research end-to-end: planning the study, conducting interviews, synthesising findings, and shaping design direction
Experience working in cross-functional squads with engineers and PMs, making decisions collaboratively
Strong Figma skills and visual craft that supports your thinking
Accessibility treated as a design constraint from the start, not a late-stage checklist
Thoughtful understanding of what AI means for interfaces, beyond adding an AI feature to changing the design problem
Ability to measure impact using signals like task success rates, support ticket volume, and adoption to guide the next iteration

Tools & standards you’ll use

Figma
WCAG 2.1+

Strong signals (optional)

Experience shipping AI-driven features (prompts, fallbacks, human-in-the-loop moments)
Familiarity with design tokens, contribution models, and designing for systems rather than individual screens
Exposure to quantitative signals such as task success rates, funnel data, or A/B results, with a habit of using them

Salary: USD 133,000 - 170,000 per year.
