[Hiring] Senior Product & Brand Designer II @Dispel

Role Description

Dispel builds secure remote access for critical infrastructure: utilities, manufacturing plants, and essential services that keep modern life running. Our customers operate in high-stakes environments where reliability, security, and clarity all matter. Design is how we earn their trust, both in the product they use every day and in how we present ourselves to the market.

We are an AI-first company, and that shapes how the design team works. AI tools are part of our daily craft, not a side experiment, and we expect everyone here to use them to ship more and ship better. The designers who thrive at Dispel have already built AI into how they design, research, and produce.

We are also a company of builders. Designers at Dispel do not throw mockups over the wall. You ship. You prototype in code when it is faster than Figma. You build interactive proofs instead of static comps. You fix the spacing in the PR yourself rather than filing a ticket. The line between design and engineering is intentionally blurry, and we hire people who are comfortable on both sides of it.

As a Senior Product & Brand Designer II (IC5), you will work across the entire product and across the brand and web platform, splitting your time roughly evenly between the two. This is a senior hybrid IC role for someone who has already proven they can drive design at depth on both sides. You will execute within the systems set by our Staff Brand & Web Designer and Staff Product Designer, extending those systems with precision and bringing your own craft to bear on whatever the company needs next.

You will partner closely with the Chief Design Officer, the Staff Brand & Web Designer, the Staff Product Designer, senior PMs, and engineers. You move between the dashboard and dispel.com, between a complex workflow problem and a campaign system, without losing craft on either.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of design experience with demonstrated range across both product design and brand/web design.
• A portfolio that holds up on both axes at a senior level, not strong at one and passable at the other.
• AI fluency as table stakes; you already use Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Figma AI, Midjourney, v0, or similar tools daily.
• A builder mentality; you ship in code when it is the right move.
• Track record of working at depth across multiple product surfaces and brand surfaces.
• Strong ability to work within design systems set by others.
• Relentless attention to detail: spacing, alignment, color, hierarchy, production quality.
• Working comfort with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and React.
• Working knowledge of motion design and video editing.
• Proficiency with Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, and a modern CMS (Framer, HubSpot, or similar).
• Strong communicator who can align across engineering, product, marketing, and leadership in a remote-first setting.
• Bias toward shipping; you would rather get something rough out the door this week and iterate than polish in private for a month.

Requirements

• Lead end-to-end design across the product, including the admin dashboard, native applications, and core platform workflows.
• Build, do not just mock; use AI to generate working prototypes, test ideas in real code, and ship explorations that engineers can pick up and run with.
• Use AI to compress the discovery cycle: synthesize research, generate variations, pressure-test flows, and validate concepts in hours instead of weeks.
• Partner with PMs and engineering leads to navigate technical constraints and make informed trade-offs.
• Work within the product design system; apply patterns, surface gaps, and propose refinements through critique and review.
• Drive accessibility improvements in the work you ship, working toward WCAG-aligned patterns and inclusive design.
• Contribute to roadmap planning with a design perspective grounded in what users actually need.
• Review developed work to make sure implementation matches design; close gaps with engineering directly, in code where appropriate.
• Work across the full brand and web surface, from dispel.com to campaigns to events to internal communications.
• Operate AI as core production infrastructure; run prompt libraries, custom workflows, and your own tooling to scale brand output.
• Execute within the brand system led by our Staff Brand & Web Designer; extend it with taste and precision.
• Lead substantial sections of dispel.com end-to-end: information architecture, design, motion, and shipped implementation.
• Produce pixel-perfect brand assets across channels: campaign visuals, conference materials, signage, tear sheets, whitepapers, presentations, digital ads, and complex event experiences.
• Contribute to brand libraries: components, patterns, usage documentation.
• Build motion and interactive systems and produce short-form video for campaigns, social, and event recaps.
• Partner with SEO leads on information architecture, content modules, and measurable performance outcomes.
