[Hiring] Senior Product Designer @ClickHouse

Role Description

ClickHouse is one of the fastest-growing databases in the world, and our design team is at an inflection point. As we expand into new solution areas, we’re looking for a designer who codes. You’ll own the design side of Click UI, ClickHouse’s open source design system. As a member of a solution-oriented product team, you’ll see those system-level design decisions through to end users. If you think of design systems as a way to bake good design into technical products, fix bugs yourself instead of filing tickets, and use AI to stay ahead of the curve, we’d love to hear from you.

• Own the design system in Figma and the design decisions that determine how components look and feel across the ClickHouse ecosystem.
• Work directly with contributors and consumers of Click UI to improve the system and drive adoption of new and existing components.
• Communicate designs through wireframes, prototypes, and visual mockups, iterating quickly on feedback.
• Partner closely with a product team, including product managers and engineers, as a trusted, embedded collaborator rather than a separate creative function.
• Use AI tools to accelerate your workflow, automate repetitive tasks, and improve both code and design quality.
• Contribute to design feedback sessions with internal and external stakeholders to validate assumptions.
• Advocate for product quality and user experience, even when you have to create the guardrails yourself.

Qualifications

• Strong visual design fundamentals and experience building and maintaining a design system.
• Proven experience designing for complex software applications, ideally in B2B SaaS or developer tools.
• Advanced proficiency in Figma, including components, prototyping, and design systems.
• Frontend engineering skills: you write CSS, React, and TypeScript, and you’re comfortable in a real codebase.
• Experience owning products end to end, working directly with developers and product managers.
• Enthusiasm for AI tools and an active practice of using them in design, engineering, workflows, or all of the above.
• Energy for the startup pace, including the ambiguity and shifting priorities that come with scaling a company with as much potential as ClickHouse.

Requirements

• Experience owning multi-brand design systems or the same design system across multiple tech stacks; experience designing IDEs, data products, or other technical developer tooling.
• Familiarity with AI-assisted design or engineering workflows (Cursor, Copilot, Figma MCP, v0, etc.), open source contributions or an active GitHub presence, and experience in a fast-moving, globally distributed startup.

Benefits

• Flexible work environment - ClickHouse is a globally distributed company and remote-friendly. We currently operate in over 25 countries.
• Healthcare - Employer contributions towards your healthcare.
• Equity in the company - Every new team member who joins our company receives stock options.
• Time off - Flexible time off in the US, generous entitlement in other countries.
• A USD$500 Home office setup if you’re a remote employee.
• Global Gatherings – We believe in the power of in-person connection and offer opportunities to engage with colleagues at company-wide offsites.
• Culture - We All Shape It - As part of a rapidly scaling start-up, you will be instrumental in shaping our culture.
