**Location:** Remote

**Posted:** 2026-05-08
> Designs user experiences for IT admins, DevOps engineers, and security pros using Tailscale's networking product, owning discovery to delivery across GUI and CLI. Requires 5+ years product design experience with B2B/infrastructure focus and comfort in distributed teams.
## Job Description
## Key Responsibilities

- Own discovery and design on problems that don't always come with a clear brief, from early framing through delivery and QA.
- Work closely with engineers and PMs to move from a fuzzy problem to something well-reasoned and shippable.
- Deliver across surfaces, GUI and CLI alike, and stay engaged through implementation, not just handoff.
- Treat feedback as part of the work, not a checkpoint. Seek it out from peers, your team, and your manager, and use it to make the work better.
- Take initiative in how you collaborate and push for clarity, even on projects you're not leading.
- Understand the product areas you touch well enough to know when a decision has implications beyond the immediate problem.
- Use AI tools where they actually help, synthesizing research, exploring directions faster, pressure-testing ideas.

## What We Are Looking For

- **5+ years** of product design experience, with a portfolio that shows you've owned complex work end-to-end, not just executed on it
- Experience with technically sophisticated B2B or infrastructure products. You're comfortable going deep on a domain and know how to lead discovery without waiting for a problem to be handed to you
- A real point of view on users and product quality, and the confidence to act on it
- At ease working alongside engineers and PMs who care a lot about how things actually work
- A clear, direct writer. You can explain a design decision to an engineer and a stakeholder without producing two different documents
- You run your own workload well, can shift between projects as priorities change, and don't need someone else to tell you what matters
- Experienced working distributed and async, and good at it

## Nice to Have

- Hands-on experience with Tailscale, or working familiarity with networking concepts such as **DNS**, **VPNs**, proxies, or traffic routing
- Experience designing for developer or IT administrator audiences
- Data-informed design practice including behavioral analytics or experimentation
- Fluency with **AI tools** as part of your design workflow and curiosity about where AI-assisted experiences fit in technical products
