# Senior Product Designer

**Company:** [Alchemy](https://hotfix.jobs/companies/alchemy)
**Location:** San Francisco, CA
**Role:** Product Design
**Salary:** $180k – $210k/yr
**Skills:** React, TypeScript, Design Systems, Storybook, Prototyping, Ui Components, Accessibility, Figma, Animation, Tokens
**Posted:** 2026-02-10

> Builds production prototypes, owns and evolves design systems using React/TypeScript, and collaborates with designers/engineers to ship high-quality UI for AI-native products. Requires strong front-end skills, systems thinking, and design craft.

## Job Description

## What You'll Do
- Build production-quality prototypes (and, when appropriate, ship production front-end code) to validate UX direction quickly—often on tight timelines.
- Own and evolve Alchemy’s design system in practice: build and maintain reusable components, patterns, and interaction primitives that scale across products.
- Translate design intent into high-quality **React/TypeScript** UI, with attention to spacing, hierarchy, motion, and interaction polish.
- Drive system scalability: identify gaps, propose improvements, and ship additions that make the product ecosystem more consistent and faster to build.
- Partner closely with product designers to improve the craft and feasibility of design work—bringing an engineer’s pragmatism and a designer’s taste.
- Collaborate tightly with product engineers to reduce rework and make the path from prototype → implementation smoother.
- Improve “how we build UI” muscle across teams: documentation, examples, and workflow improvements that raise the baseline.
- Build for an AI-native product future: create interaction patterns and UI foundations that support rapid experimentation and iteration in AI-driven experiences.
- Contribute to design-system adoption and quality: tokens/components/docs, accessibility standards, and tooling (e.g., **Storybook**) when needed.
- Help teams iterate in short cycles (e.g., ~5–10 day “idea → prototype → decision” loops), bringing clarity to what’s possible and what’s worth building.

## What We're Looking For
- Strong front-end fundamentals and comfort building interactive UI (e.g., **React + TypeScript**; equivalent stacks welcome).
- Systems-minded builder: you’ve shipped and maintained component libraries / design systems (tokens, components, documentation, adoption).
- A designer’s eye: you care about hierarchy, spacing, typography, interaction details, and visual polish.
- Proven ability to prototype quickly without sacrificing craft—and to choose the right fidelity for the question at hand.
- Ability to operate in ambiguity and move fast with high ownership.
- Clear communicator across disciplines; you can translate between design intent and technical constraints.

**Bonus**: accessibility fluency, **Storybook** (or similar), motion/animation experience, and experience scaling design systems across multiple product surfaces.

## Benefits and Perks
- Medical, Dental, & Vision
- Gym Reimbursement
- Home Office Build-out Budget
- In-Office Group Meals
- Wellbeing & Mental Health Perks
- Learning & Development Stipend
- Company Sponsored Conferences & Events
- HSA and FSA Plans
- Fertility Benefits

**Compensation**: Base salary range $180,000 - $210,000 annually (does not include bonus, equity, or benefits).
