ClickHouse is one of the fastest-growing databases in the world, and they are seeking a Product Designer to own the core platform experience. The role involves designing and improving the frontend quality of the platform, collaborating closely with product managers and engineers, and using AI tools to enhance workflow.
Responsibilities:
- Owning the design and frontend quality of core platform areas, from initial concept through to production
- Jumping into the codebase to fix UI bugs and ship polish directly
- Communicating designs through wireframes, prototypes, and visual mockups, and iterating quickly based on feedback
- Partnering closely with product managers and engineers as a trusted, embedded collaborator, not a separate creative function
- Using AI tools to accelerate your workflow, automate repetitive tasks, and improve code quality
- Contributing to design feedback sessions with internal and external stakeholders to validate assumptions
- Advocating for product quality and user experience, even when you have to create the guardrails yourself
Requirements:
- Proven experience designing for complex software applications, ideally in B2B SaaS or developer tools
- Genuine frontend engineering skills: you write React, TypeScript, and CSS, and you're comfortable in a real codebase
- Strong visual design fundamentals and a sharp eye for UI quality and craft
- Experience owning products end-to-end, working directly with developers and Product Managers
- Advanced proficiency in Figma, including components, prototyping, and design systems
- Enthusiasm for AI tools and an active practice of using them in design, engineering, workflows, or all of the above
- You are energized by the startup pace, including the ambiguity and shifting priorities that come with scaling and growing a company with as much potential as ClickHouse
- Experience with SQL consoles, data products, or technical developer tooling
- Familiarity with AI-assisted design or engineering workflows (Cursor, Copilot, Figma MCP, v0, etc.)
- Open source contributions or an active GitHub presence
- Experience in a fast-moving, globally distributed startup environment
