Staff Product Designer
New York, NYHybrid8+ YOE
Summary
Staff Product Designer owns end-to-end app and UI design for Eight Sleep's sleep fitness products, evolves the design system, and translates complex biometric data into premium interfaces. Requires 8-12 years experience, Figma mastery, and AI tool fluency.
About the role
What You'll Own
- End-to-end design of the Eight Sleep app and product UI — from interaction architecture through final visual polish
- Own and evolve the product design system: components, patterns, tokens, and the rules that govern them
- Translate complex health and biometric data into interfaces that feel clear, calm, and premium
- Partner with product, engineering, and brand to ensure the in-app experience is coherent with the broader Eight Sleep aesthetic
- Set the craft bar for the product surface — your output is the reference point for designers, contractors, and cross-functional partners
- Prototype interactions and flows to validate concepts quickly before engineering investment
What You Will Need to Succeed
- 8–12 years in product/UI design, with a portfolio that demonstrates mastery of both interaction design and visual craft
- Experience designing for health, biometrics, or data-rich consumer apps — you know how to make complexity feel simple
- Deep Figma fluency — as a design tool, a prototyping tool, and a system-building tool
- Strong motion sensibility; you think in transitions, not just screens
- Genuine fluency with AI design tools (Cursor, Claude, generative workflows) — not curiosity, actual working practice
- Comfort operating without heavy process scaffolding — you define the process as much as you follow it
- A clear point of view on what makes product design excellent, and the confidence to hold it
