Senior Product Designer

Role Overview

Senior Product Designer at Ashby. You’ll work as a versatile product designer in a team that blends product management, consulting-style problem solving, and design system stewardship.

How the Team Works

• Product teams typically include a product manager, designer, and ~4–5 engineers.
• The PM briefs the designer; the designer produces designs/mocks for engineers to implement.
• Ashby emphasizes a principled approach: design ownership scales with the need of the project (from reusing components and documentation to owning projects end-to-end).
• Design at Ashby is meant to be owned by the product team collectively, with the design org equipping the broader team to make and edit better decisions.

What You’ll Work On

• Help rethink how modern software is designed.
• Tackle some of the biggest design challenges in the product.
• Support and/or manage design system decisions where needed.
• Contribute to building a strong candidate hiring experience, including the recruiting workflows and coordination challenges talent teams face (e.g., availability collection, interview load balancing, and scheduling complexity).

Culture / Environment

• Near seed-stage culture with autonomy, IC-focused work, and almost-no-meeting culture.
• Growth-stage product-market fit and scale, combined with low red tape.
• You’ll report within a founder-led environment (co-founder/CEO mentioned).

Requirements

• Not explicitly listed in the provided text.

Nice-to-Haves

  • Product design for complex, workflow-heavy B2B software
  • Cross-functional collaboration with PMs and engineers
  • Design systems and enabling product teams to make better design decisions
