Senior Product Designer

Design Citizen is a human-centered talent management firm focused on creating innovative and sustainable business solutions through design. They are seeking a Senior Product Designer to lead end-to-end design work for a powerful SaaS platform that allows product teams to experiment and refine their software based on user behavior.

Responsibilities:

• Leading end-to-end design work across core product areas, from problem definition to polished execution
• Designing complex, multi-layered product surfaces such as configuration panels, experiment setup flows, permissions, and data-rich dashboards
• Working in a squad model alongside engineers and often a data scientist, helping teams align on requirements and move forward in a PM-light environment
• Translating technical concepts, state logic, and system behavior into workflows that feel understandable and usable
• Making fast, pragmatic UX decisions that balance ideal experience with engineering realities
• Contributing to patterns and interaction models that support consistency across a complex, evolving UI
• Evolving the design system and component library in Figma while collaborating with engineering on how components translate into shipped UI
• Presenting work clearly and practically, focusing on reasoning, tradeoffs, and how decisions support user goals

Requirements:

• 6+ years of product design experience with a portfolio that demonstrates strength in complex, technical, or layered UI, not just consumer or mobile work
• Experience designing for developer tools, data-heavy B2B platforms, admin systems, or other highly configurable products
• Ability to work quickly in ambiguous, engineering-driven environments where requirements evolve through conversation
• Comfort collaborating with engineers who move fast and expect clarity, not perfection
• Evidence of 0→1 product ownership, not just refinement of existing features
• Strong interaction and visual design skills with the ability to break down complexity into clear, learnable workflows with dialed in aesthetic
• Systems thinking that supports product delivery—patterns, consistency, and component logic—without being systems-only
• High autonomy, impeccable and clear communication, and good instincts about when to go deep versus when to ship and iterate
• Experience working with state logic, permissions, configuration-heavy workflows, or multi-step technical flows
• Ability to untangle dense workflows
• Experience with dashboards, data models, multi-step flows
• Comfort designing for technical users (engineers, data scientists)
• Ability to propose alternatives when challenged
