[Hiring] Product Designer II @Bestow

Role Description

Bestow is seeking a Product Designer II to own design execution for the Agent Experience — turning agent, wholesaler, and distribution workflows into experiences that are fast, clear, and credible to the professionals who use them and the partners who evaluate them.

• Own end-to-end design for assigned initiatives — from problem framing and research through prototyping, validation, and implementation partnership.
• Design for multiple distinct user types in one system — independent agents, wholesalers, and internal back-office teams — including role-based permissions and data import workflows.
• Conduct and synthesize research through user interviews, usability testing, and data analysis, including moderated sessions with external agents.
• Shape solutions in partnership with product managers — helping define problems, outline approaches, and establish success criteria when requirements are still forming.
• Create user flows, diagrams, Figma designs, and coded prototypes that communicate direction clearly to stakeholders, engineering, and external partners.
• Navigate and collaborate in shared code repositories — reading existing prototypes, iterating in an IDE with AI assistance, and partnering with engineers during implementation.
• Design integration experiences where the product surface is partly determined by a partner’s system — single sign-on, pre-fill, status, and quoting APIs.
• Partner with engineering to protect design integrity while balancing technical constraints.
• Contribute to design critiques and help elevate quality across the team.
• Champion user-centered design in a regulated product — where trust, accuracy, and compliance matter as much as polish.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience.
• 3–5 years of product design experience, ideally on complex or regulated products (fintech, healthcare, enterprise B2B, insurance, or similar).
• Portfolio demonstrating systems thinking, research-to-shipping discipline, and attention to interaction and visual detail.
• Track record of delivering product work with measurable impact — even when the path from research to production isn’t linear.
• Proficiency in Figma and modern prototyping approaches.

Requirements

• Hands-on experience building or iterating on designs in an IDE or code-based environment (e.g., Cursor, VS Code with AI assistants, Claude Code) — not only watching engineers prototype.
• Strong preference: Comfort reading and navigating coded prototypes and collaborating in repos with engineering and product partners.
• Strong preference: Demonstrated use of AI in your daily design practice — with specific examples of what you automate, what you keep human, and what failed.
• Comfortable presenting work to stakeholders and holding a point of view in the room.
• Experience contributing to or working within design systems and component libraries.
• Strong analytical skills; comfortable using qualitative and quantitative inputs to inform decisions.
• Excellent communication skills and a track record of productive cross-functional partnership.
• Ability to operate in ambiguity and making progress with incomplete information.
• Works well inside a shared design direction — gives and receives critique proactively, and treats a senior partner as leverage rather than oversight.

Benefits

• Competitive salary and equity based on role.
• Policies and managers that support work/life balance, like our flexible paid time off and parental leave programs.
• 100% paid-premium option for medical, dental, and vision insurance.
• Lifestyle stipend to support your physical, emotional, and financial wellbeing.
• Flexible work-from-home policy and open to remote.
• Remote and WFH options, as well as a beautiful, state-of-the-art office in Dallas’ Deep Ellum, for those who prefer an office setting.
• Employee-led diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.
