Product Designer

• Own end-to-end design for product surfaces: flows, wireframes, final UI
• Build and maintain a design system that seven products can share
• Design data-dense screens, like stream catalogues, latency dashboards and dataset browsers, that stay scannable
• Work directly with engineers and ship alongside them, not ahead of them
• Talk to customers and turn what you hear into concrete design changes
• Raise the bar on docs, onboarding and empty states, where developer products are won
• Keep marketing surfaces honest and consistent with the products

• A portfolio of shipped product design work, ideally developer tools, fintech or data products
• Fluency in modern design tooling and enough HTML and CSS literacy to design what can be built
• Strong typography and information-hierarchy fundamentals
• Comfort designing from real data and edge cases, not lorem ipsum
• Clear reasoning: you can explain why a design is right without pointing at a trend
• Able to work from our Toronto office part of the week

• Experience designing for technical audiences: consoles, CLIs, docs, APIs
• Experience with design systems used by more than one team
• Basic familiarity with React, enough to prototype or pair with engineers
• Writing skill; UX copy in our products is design work

• You think removing an element is usually the better redesign
• You would rather watch a user struggle than guess what they need
• You defend the user in reviews and defend engineering constraints to yourself
• You finish things: states, errors and edge cases included
• You want your work shipped, not framed
