[Hiring] Product Designer @Lightyear

Role Description

As a Product Designer at Lightyear, you will work directly with our Head of Product Design to ship product features across our platform while flexing into marketing and brand work as needed. You'll partner closely with PMs and engineers on day-to-day product work, and you'll contribute to and refine our design system in both Figma and our codebase. The role is roughly 85% product design and 15% marketing design support.

Responsibilities:

• Ship product features end-to-end across established product areas, partnering with PMs and engineers from brief to launch.
• Run design reviews, give and receive critique, and iterate fast based on feedback from customers, PMs, and engineering.
• Contribute to and refine our design system in Figma, and open PRs directly in our codebase for design system updates.
• Flex into marketing design as needed: marketing site updates, LinkedIn and Reddit ad creative, slide deck templates, event collateral, and asset creation in support of internal teams.
• Use AI tooling (Claude, Cursor, v0, Figma AI, and whatever comes next) to accelerate ideation, research, prototyping, and asset creation across both product and marketing work.
• Help us figure out where AI sharpens design output and where it doesn't, and bring those learnings back to the team.

Qualifications

• 3 to 5 years of professional product design experience.
• B2B SaaS background. Fintech, devtools, vertical SaaS, or other workflow-heavy enterprise products are all strong fits.
• Mostly 1-to-N experience (improving and scaling existing product surfaces) with at least some 0-to-1 work in your portfolio.
• Visual range across product and brand. Your portfolio shows shipped marketing-adjacent work (landing pages, ad creative, decks, brand systems) alongside product UI.
• AI is already part of how you work, not a thing you're planning to try.
• Code-fluent collaboration. You read frontend code comfortably and can make small, scoped changes directly.
• High craft, low ego. You sweat the pixels and the tokens, and you're the first to spot what's off in your own work.
• Curious and stays at the edge of the field without chasing trends.
• BA/BFA in Design (graphic, web, interaction, HCI, or related), or equivalent professional experience.

Requirements

• Familiarity with the telecom industry (Bonus).

Benefits

• This position will be full-time and salaried with competitive cash and equity compensation.
• The total cash compensation range is estimated to be within $120k-$150k.
• This position is fully remote.
