Job Level
About the role
- Own the end-to-end design process for a complex enterprise product used by thousands of organizations
- Ruthlessly simplify: identify and eliminate unnecessary cognitive load in workflows, navigation, and UI patterns
- Build and evolve our design system—ensuring every component, pattern, and guideline serves users and scales with the product
- Get close to users: conduct research sessions, watch session recordings, analyze support tickets, and turn insights into designs
- Partner with engineering on implementation—you'll review PRs, provide feedback, and commit your own HTML/CSS fixes when it's faster
- Make strategic design decisions independently while keeping stakeholders informed
- Balance consistency with pragmatism: know when to follow the system and when the system needs to evolve
- Advocate for users without losing sight of business goals and technical realities
Requirements
- 7+ years designing products (preferably B2B, SaaS, or enterprise software)
- You've been the only designer before—at a startup, on a product team, or in a similar high-autonomy role
- Portfolio showing how you've tamed complexity: clear before/after examples, thought process, and measurable impact
- Comfortable with code: you can read HTML/CSS, navigate Git, and make basic commits without hand-holding
- Research-driven: you've planned and conducted user interviews, usability tests, or contextual inquiries
- Design systems experience: you've built, maintained, or significantly contributed to a component library or style guide
- Tool-agnostic but proficient in at least one modern design tool (Figma, Sketch, etc.)
- Experience working remotely with in-person teams, or you're based in Denver
