Apply now and define the future of work!</p> <p>Remote is hiring a <strong>Senior Staff Product Designer</strong> 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.</p> <p>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.</p> <h2>Key responsibilities</h2> <ul> <li><strong>Prototype like it matters.</strong> 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.</li> <li><strong>Build systems that scale.</strong> Spot patterns before they fragment. Create reusable frameworks and abstractions that keep the product coherent across domains and teams.</li> <li><strong>Make AI useful, not gimmicky.</strong> Help the org use AI in practical ways: faster exploration, better documentation, tighter workflows, less busywork. Set the standard for what “good” looks like.</li> <li><strong>Influence across the company.</strong> Partner with execs and VPs on direction and experimentation. Navigate complexity, align teams, and keep the work grounded in user value.</li> <li><strong>Raise the bar.</strong> Mentor at a mastery level. Shape rituals, playbooks, and how we critique work so design quality consistently goes up.</li> </ul> <h2>What you bring</h2> <ul> <li><strong>Leader scope and judgment.</strong> You’re strong across user centricity, craft, vision, communication, and leadership as an IC.</li> <li><strong>Serious craft.</strong> Your portfolio shows excellent interaction + visual design. You can design without a system or create a system from your designs.</li> <li><strong>Technical depth.</strong> You know how to prototype for real, build for scale, and sweat performance and details. You’re fluent with AI-assisted design.</li> <li><strong>You’re good in the undefined.</strong> You can take a vague goal and turn it into a concrete, high-quality product direction with minimal hand-holding.</li> <li><strong>Strong communicator.</strong> Clear, strong storytelling, and the ability to bring people along without turning it into theatre.</li> <li><strong>Demonstrates strong automation and AI capabilities and AI fluency.</strong></li></ul> <h2>Practicals</h2> <ul> <li><strong>You'll report to:</strong> VP, Design</li> <li><strong>Team:</strong> Design</li> <li><strong>Team size:</strong> This is an individual contributor role</li> <li><strong>Location</strong>: anywhere</li> <li><strong>Start date:</strong> As soon as possible</li> </ul> <h2><strong>Application process</strong></h2> <p>Roughly 5-6 hours across 5 weeks</p> <ol> <li>Interview with recruiter</li> <li>Interview with future manager</li> <li>Async case study presentation (craft + prototyping)</li> <li>Team / cross-functional interview</li> <li>Bar Raiser interview</li> <li>Executive interview</li> <li><a href="https://www.notion.so/96e108c037b8423cbd4c3f07a1f9b38b?pvs=21">Prior employment verification check</a></li> </ol> <p>#LI-DNP</p><div class="content-pay-transparency"><div class="pay-input"><div class="description"><p>Remote's <a href="https://www.notion.so/remotecom/people-Total-Rewards-1945bce8d3924ece9421ba8630f57b0c">Total Rewards philosophy</a> is to ensure fair, unbiased compensation and fair <span class="link-annotation-unknown-block-id-1691622878">equity</span><span class="discussion-level-1 discussion-id-f2a82bc4-09e4-4a71-ad93-755b1d26a690 notion-enable-hover" data-token-index="3"> pay </span>along with competitive benefits in all locations in which we operate.
