Senior Product Designer (B2B SaaS Startup)

• Own the full loop. Take a user problem from rough idea to shipped interface: partner or write the brief, design the flow, prototype it, partner with engineering, ship it with as few handoffs as possible
• Use AI as a force multiplier. Explore and prototype with AI tools, Figma, or code, whatever gets there fastest. Your taste is the editorial layer: you know when AI-generated UI is wrong even when it looks right, and you fix it
• Solve from first principles. Reason about the right interaction for the user problem instead of reaching for a component library
• Sweat the final 10%. Craft the details others miss, the ones that make a compliance product feel trustworthy
• Work in small, focused pods. No layers, no waiting. You’ll work closely with two or three others who share the same model
• Be accountable to outcomes. Know the metric your team is moving. Measure your week by what changed for users, not by screens delivered
• Stretch beyond design. Read the API spec, engage users directly, build in code when it’s faster than Figma

Comfortable in ambiguity: you ship, collect signal, and iterate rather than waiting for full clarityRange across Design, Product, and Engineering: you’ve gone from user problem to testable prototype without waiting for a brief, and used AI coding tools to build something real. You’re not dependent on an engineer to realize your visionIdeally you’ve worked on products where getting it wrong has real consequences (fintech, healthtech, logistics, compliance), but that’s not a must-haveYou’ve built personal AI workflows that make you meaningfully faster, and you know when to trust, edit, or reject AI outputFluency in English (C1+) is required.

German (C1) is a plus, but not a must-haveStrong visual sensibility, high standards, and an eye for detailGenuine design craft with a track record: you’ve shipped interfaces real users navigated without explanation, and you can point to the metric that movedBerlin-based or willing to relocateCraft is the baseline here, not a nice-to-have. What sets you apart is range and judgment: you know what good looks like, you know when something looks right but feels wrong, and you can get a team there with youYou are excited to show your work (portfolio or examples)
