[Hiring] Senior Product Designer @Phaidra

Role Description

As a Senior Product Designer, you’ll own end-to-end design across major surfaces of Phaidra's platform, from early concept to shipped, production-ready UX working closely with Product and Engineering to turn complex systems into interfaces people trust.

• Own end-to-end design for your product surfaces: discovery, flows, interaction design, visual polish, and what happens after launch.
• Translate customer and internal requirements into detailed process flows, wireframes, and product designs, accounting for user and product ecosystems, workflow patterns, and business needs.
• Use research, experimentation, analytics, and user feedback to understand what people need and where the product can improve.
• Build working prototypes in Figma and in code, vibecoding with Claude, Cursor or similar daily to explore and validate ideas quickly, and know where AI helps and where craft must lead.
• Partner directly with engineering to refine interactions, iterate quickly, and ship high-quality work.
• Simplify complex workflows into interfaces that feel simple and obvious, even when the underlying logic isn't.
• Think in terms of systems, not just screens, and if necessary, use that mindset to contribute to new patterns or evolving existing ones in Phaidra’s design system, keeping them consistent and scalable across teams.
• Facilitate design reviews, communicate the reasoning behind your decisions clearly, and gain alignment with stakeholders.
• Mentor other designers, give and take critique, and help raise the bar for craft across the team.
• Care about outcomes, not just output: adoption, usability, and the real-world impact of what you ship.
• Design with accessibility in mind, making sure interfaces work for people with different abilities and needs.

Qualifications

• 6-8 years of product design experience, with a portfolio showing strong visual craft and real business impact.
• Figma power user: deep comfort with component systems, auto layout, and prototyping.
• Experience contributing to and evolving a design system.
• A high standard for usability and accessibility, with the pixel-level craft to match.
• Experience using or willingness to use AI tools (Claude, Cursor, v0, or similar) as part of your design workflow, with good judgment on where AI adds value and where human craft still matters.
• Comfortable across the full design stack: UI, interaction design, information architecture, research, and design strategy.
• Experience conducting usability tests and customer research and translating insight into concrete design decisions.
• Strong communicator, able to articulate design rationale and adapt the story for different stakeholders, from the floor to the boardroom, in an all-remote setting.
• Alignment with Phaidra's values: Agency, Velocity, Craft, and Truth.

Requirements

• Domain experience in data centers, critical infrastructure, industrial, or energy systems.
• Experience working with AI tools.
• Experience designing for LLMs or dashboards.

Benefits

• Fast-paced, team-oriented environment where your work directly shapes the company’s direction.
• 100% remote company.
• Competitive compensation & meaningful equity.
• Outsized responsibilities & professional development.
• Training is foundational; functional, customer immersion, and development training.
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance (exact benefits vary by region).
• Unlimited paid time off, with a required minimum of 20 days per year.
• Paid parental leave (exact benefits vary by region).
• Flexible stipends to support your workspace, well-being, and continued professional development.
• Company MacBook.
