Very is a fully distributed technology firm that creates efficient, scalable solutions for various clients. They are seeking a Senior Product Designer to manage the full arc of product design, from undefined problems to launched products, while collaborating closely with clients and engineering teams.

Responsibilities:

• You will work directly with clients and their teams, from early discovery through launch, running the full arc of product design
• You will own design across the full engagement lifecycle, including UX and UI design, interactive prototyping, research, data visualization, and design systems work

• You will also ensure design QA happens and that shipped products reflect the craft and intent behind them

Requirements:

• At least 7 years of relevant design experience
• A track record of launching real products, not just polished concepts. Both zero-to-one and incremental work
• Communication above all. Writing matters, but what matters more is your ability to speak, articulate your thinking, and carry a room
• Self-direction and ownership. You scope your own work, manage its blast radius, and know when to push back or say no
• Comfort with ambiguity, at both the design and business layer
• Design systems thinking as a core competency
• Someone already integrating AI into their practice, and energized rather than threatened by it
• UX and UI design
• Interactive prototyping
• User research
• Data visualization
• Design systems
• Must be authorized to work in the United States of America without sponsorship
• IoT and connected-product experience
• React, HTML, and CSS (our team does this; we can teach it)
• Experience designing for data-heavy or analytical products, where the challenge is making complex information feel clear and actionable
• Experience designing agentic or AI-driven products, you understand how to design for systems that act, not just respond
