Requires 6+ years of experience in Product Design, with experience in building design systems and strong communication skills. Preferred experience in B2B SaaS, enterprise software, and fintech.
**This is a full-time role to be a Senior Product Designer, located onsite in New York, NY.**
### **Design @ Hadrius**
Like many other fields in tech, how design teams operate is shifting dramatically. That means [Figma is being used less and less](https://jonnyburch.com/life-after-figma), while [agents](https://agentation.dev/) are being used more and more. Counter-intuitively though, this means that designers with hard-skills (light coding, speed, design craft) are needed more than ever. At Hadrius, we’re leaning into this:
* Design is integrated into the codebase, with engineers
* The feedback loop on designs is very fast (24 hours is a long time!)
* [mercury.com](http://mercury.com) sets the bar for us on craft and design excellence
As a Senior Product Designer at Hadrius, you’ll be expected to raise the bar on these ideas.
### **What You'll Do & Your Impact Timeline**
**Within your first week:**
* Get a walkthrough of the platform, Figma files, and Design system from our Founding Product Designer, [Anushriya](https://www.linkedin.com/in/anushriyabhardwaj/).
* Get your coding environment set up (IDE, coding agent, MCPs, etc.).
* Lead your first customer call to gain firsthand insight into user challenges.
* Dive deep into a core module of the Hadrius platform to understand its current state.
* Get up to speed on our core problem, ideal customer profile (ICP), value proposition, and product roadmap.
**Within your first month:**
* Ship your first major design project, setting a new bar for quality and user-centricity.
* Create, document, and begin implementing the Hadrius Design System to accelerate our product development velocity.
* Establish the core design rituals and processes (critiques, user research cadence, etc.) that will allow us to scale.
* Become the go-to partner for the CTO on product strategy, roadmap planning, and defining what we build next.
**Within your first 3 months and beyond:**
* Own the end-to-end design of complex, ambiguous, 0-to-1 product initiatives.
* Scale the design function and play a key role in hiring future members of the team
* Act as the primary voice of the customer in strategic conversations, ensuring user needs drive company priorities.
* Visibly raise the bar for product quality across the entire company, holding engineering and product accountable for delivering exceptional user experiences.
### **About You**
* **A Master of Your Craft:** You are a highly competent and seasoned designer. Your portfolio demonstrates strategic, systems-level thinking and exceptional visual and interaction design skills. With many years of experience, you have both breadth and depth.
* **Strategic Partner & Mentor:** You don't just execute on a vision; you help create it. You are a player-coach who elevates the work of everyone around you.
* **Thrives in Ambiguity:** You are energized by complex, loosely defined problems and have a track record of creating clarity and direction from chaos.
* **All-In:** This is not a 9-5. You understand that building a category-defining company requires immense focus and commitment. We are optimizing for the best, and we compensate generously for it.
* **Strategic Ownership:** You take complete ownership of the user experience and its impact on the business, from high-level strategy down to the individual pixels on the screen.
### **Qualifications**
* 6+ years of professional experience in Product Design, with a portfolio/experience showcasing your work on complex, shipped products.
* Proven experience leading the design of products from 0-to-1 or navigating significant product redesigns.
* Experience building and maintaining design systems that accelerate development.
* An expert communicator who can articulate design strategy and rationale to engineers, executives, and customers with equal clarity.
* Deep proficiency in Figma and other modern design and prototyping tools.
* (Preferred) Experience in B2B SaaS, enterprise software and fintech.
### **Benefits & Perks**
* Competitive salary and a significant equity package.
* 401(k) with 100% match up to 6%.
* Premium healthcare, dental, and vision insurance.
* The opportunity to build the design function and culture at a world-class company.
* 18k/yr housing stipend if you live near the office / lower manhattan
