Job Description:

Описание:


At Productboard, we’re building the first agentic product management system. We’re rethinking how product management is done in a world full of AI agents, and how we help our customers build what matters for their audience. AI is changing what an interface even is: static screens are giving way to conversations, generated artifacts, rich interactive UI, and open-ended workflows, often on the same screen.


Задачи:


Own Productboard’s UX and interaction architecture. The information architecture, navigation model, and object model that make Productboard feel like one product. Define the interaction patterns for an AI-first product. How users meet Spark, build trust in its output, delegate to it, and stay in control. Decide what becomes standard. Which patterns teams adopt, evolve, or retire, and how design-system principles are interpreted across product domains. Set the design direction and design language. Define what Productboard looks and behaves like as one product: the visual language, the interaction vocabulary, and the principles designers work from. Raise the bar for end-to-end usability and cross-product coherence. Define what highly usable means at Productboard, continuously evaluate core product flows against it, and call it when a proposed experience is inconsistent, unclear, or below the usability bar. Be the lead voice in design critique. You are the person in the room who catches when a detail breaks the model, and the person designers come to when a pattern is unclear or a problem doesn’t fit the architecture. Personally carry the hardest design work. Platform-level and foundational problems: the navigation model, object model redesigns, new surfaces, and new interaction primitives for human-agent collaboration. Own them from concept to coded prototype to shipped. Prototype in code by default. When words aren’t settling a design debate, build the thing with AI coding tools. Turn ambiguous interaction and system questions into working prototypes, test them with users, and use them to align stakeholders and unblock engineering.


Требования:


8+ years in product design as a senior individual contributor on complex products, ideally in product-led B2B SaaS with a mature design practice. You have never stopped designing, and your portfolio has recent work in it. Systems thinker: you see a product as a whole, its object model, information architecture, and how the parts relate, and you can hold that structure in your head while designing a single detail within it. Concept models, sitemaps, and flows are second nature, not extra deliverables. Proven bar raiser: you’ve owned the usability of an entire product, not a feature, and there’s a product that is visibly more coherent and more usable because you were there. Agentic systems experience: you’ve designed products where an agent does real work on the user’s behalf and the design problem is trust, control, and cold start, across chat, generated artifacts, and rich UI, not just one of them. You have real opinions on how these products should fit into structured UI, because you use the newest ones the week they ship. AI-first role model: AI agents are how you work, every day, for research, prototyping, building, and analysis. When a debate needs settling, you build a working prototype with Claude Code, Cursor, or whatever fits. Code is a means for you, not the identity. Excellent craft: your interaction and visual design are at a level where senior designers want your feedback, and you’ve set a design language others were glad to work in. Comfortable owning the call: you’ve set standards for teams that weren’t yours, made the unpopular consistency call, and made it stick with reasoning and evidence rather than rank. Earned a seat at the roadmap: PMs and executives come to you for direction, not just design, because your understanding of users is deep enough to shape what gets built. Self-directed and evidence-driven: you identify what needs to be done and do it, land into teams gracefully, and collaborate with low ego. You balance intuition from years of experience with strategy, data, and measurement. Intuition opens the question, evidence closes it. Strategic communicator: you can align executives around a design direction with the same clarity you bring to critiquing a designer’s prototype, and you build trust across Product, Engineering, and Design. Candidates must have the legal right to work in the EU.
