Remote is hiring a Senior Staff Product Designer to be one of the strongest individual contributors in the company. This is a craft-first, systems-minded role for someone who likes the messy problems: ambiguity, scale and real-world constraints.

You’ll shape how we build product at Remote: the patterns we repeat, the systems we rely on, and how we use AI and prototyping to move from idea to something real. You’ll take on company-wide initiatives, special projects with high visibility, and help push our all of our products forward.

Key responsibilities

  • Prototype like it matters. You’ll lead by showing, not telling. High-fidelity prototypes, functional flows, code when it helps, AI when it speeds up exploration. You’ll bridge vision and feasibility without losing craft.
  • Build systems that scale. Spot patterns before they fragment. Create reusable frameworks and abstractions that keep the product coherent across domains and teams.
  • Make AI useful, not gimmicky. Help the org use AI in practical ways: faster exploration, better documentation, tighter workflows, less busywork. Set the standard for what “good” looks like.
  • Influence across the company. Partner with execs and VPs on direction and experimentation. Navigate complexity, align teams, and keep the work grounded in user value.
  • Raise the bar. Mentor at a mastery level. Shape rituals, playbooks, and how we critique work so design quality consistently goes up.

What you bring

  • Leader scope and judgment. You’re strong across user centricity, craft, vision, communication, and leadership as an IC.
  • Serious craft. Your portfolio shows excellent interaction + visual design. You can design without a system or create a system from your designs.
  • Technical depth. You know how to prototype for real, build for scale, and sweat performance and details. You’re fluent with AI-assisted design.
  • You’re good in the undefined. You can take a vague goal and turn it into a concrete, high-quality product direction with minimal hand-holding.
  • Strong communicator. Clear, strong storytelling, and the ability to bring people along without turning it into theatre.

Practicals

  • You'll report to: VP, Design
  • Team: Design
  • Team size: This is an individual contributor role
  • Location: anywhere
  • Start date: As soon as possible

Roughly 5-6 hours across 5 weeks

  2. Interview with future manager
  3. Async case study presentation (craft + prototyping)
