Role Overview

The Junior Product Designer plays a key role within the product design team, crafting intuitive and well-planned user experiences across our software offerings. Collaborating closely with Product Managers and Engineers in a Discovery Trio, this role spans the complete design lifecycle—from initial research and defining problems to delivering design specifications and assisting during implementation.

The position prioritizes developing a product designer's mindset over producing visual designs—understanding user challenges, framing problems effectively, and making product functionality user-friendly and accessible.

Key Responsibilities

• Take part in discovery meetings alongside PMs and Engineers, bringing a user-focused approach.
• Develop wireframes, prototypes, and design documents that clearly express intent and facilitate decision-making.
• Learn to differentiate surface user requests from deeper user needs.
• Create interaction flows, interfaces, and components consistent with our design system.
• Design comprehensive states including ideal user flows, error handling, empty states, and loading conditions.
• Ensure designs adapt fluidly to various screen sizes and device types.
• Consistently apply and help refine design system patterns.
• Engage in user research activities such as usability tests and interviews under senior designers' guidance.
• Observe support calls and training sessions to gain firsthand insight into user interactions.
• Analyze support tickets and feature requests to detect usage patterns.
• Gain a deep understanding of user requirements through direct observation.
• Continuously learn product features, workflows, and integration points by hands-on usage and reviewing release notes.
• Collaborate with engineering to understand technical limitations and possibilities.
• Participate actively in design reviews, sprint planning, and other cross-team processes.
• Adapt based on feedback and iterate designs swiftly.
• Work with senior designers and management to evolve the design system and its components.
• Effectively communicate design rationale to PMs and engineering teams.

Required Qualifications

• Between zero and three years of experience in product, UX, or related design fields.
• A portfolio that highlights a user-centered approach, detailed interaction design, and problem-solving skills in digital products.
• Proficiency with Figma or comparable contemporary prototyping and design tools.
• Basic understanding of UX research methods and eagerness to contribute to research efforts.
• Keen attention to detail with a strong commitment to quality design.
• Curiosity about product workings including technical, business, and user perspectives.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in agile or scrum development environments.
• Familiarity with design systems and component-oriented design methodologies.
• Understanding of accessibility standards such as WCAG.
• Prior collaboration experience with product management teams.
• Basic knowledge of HTML and CSS aiding effective communication with front-end developers.
