Hiring: Product Designer Company: Adapt.com Location: San Francisco, CA Job Posted Time: 2026-09-03 04:28:20 Target Skills & Keywords : CSS, Design System, Emotion, Figma, HTML, Make, Move, OpenAPI, REST, React, Slack About the job Experience: •7+ years of professional product design experience, ideally in AI, developer tools, infrastructure, enterprise software, or data products Required Skills: •We are particularly seeking a designer who cares deeply about taste, craft, and shipping, with the agency to turn ambiguous problems into clear, high-quality product experiences. You should be comfortable building a design system and prototyping or shipping in code when that's the fastest way to make progress. •The role of leadership is to cultivate a sense of excellence on the team and in individuals on the team that reflect it. A simple way to frame it is a three-part framework: •What is the job to be done (see above) •What is excellence in that job •Holding accountable to excellence (that's both your job and mine!) •You establish excellence in this role by doing the following: •In the first 30 days you independently ship requested and impactful product design work with some guidance and direction. •In the next 30 days, you're moving more towards fuller independence, proposing ideas and talking to customers to gain conviction as to why they're worth investing in (and also shipping them), and you've started laying the foundations of the design system. Qualifications: •Years aren't all equal (startup years are like dog years, as an example) and they're not the best predictor of success. That being said, you probably exhibit most of these characteristics: •4-7+ years of professional product design experience, ideally in AI, developer tools, infrastructure, enterprise software, or data products •Experience working at an early stage (seed, Series A, Series B) startup, or a strong portfolio of personal/side projects that shows range •Expertise in Figma, with fluency in modern prototyping methods •Comfort writing front-end code — HTML/CSS/Tailwind at minimum, ideally React — and shipping your own work to production with engineers (or directly) •A portfolio that shows shipped product work, complex systems made understandable, and end-to-end ownership from the customer problem through implementation •Strong interest in many of the latest and greatest AI tools and models, and an opinion on what AI products should feel like •Consistent track-record of design work that you drove end-to-end — from the customer problem through the final shipped pixel •Demonstrated capacity to break down a vague, ambiguous problem into something concrete and shippable (you may have found yourself saying "the fastest way to decide this is to prototype it") •Care deeply about users — you've got receipts of customer-driven design decisions, and when something you designed frustrates someone, you feel it Compensation: •Inclusive healthcare packages (medical, dental, vision) Interested candidates, please apply directly through the job posting on company's career page or try via AI auto apply on this platform.
