Lead Product Designer

What you'll be doing

• 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
