Senior Product Designer

• Take an ambiguous problem and come back with a point of view and a prototype
• Design the whole loop, not just the booking screen
• Hold both sides in your head. A guest booking a table and a restaurant running a floor want different things
• Use behavioral data and guest feedback to shape what's next

• Build working prototypes fast, in whatever tool gets you there (Figma Make, Cursor, Replit, Magic Patterns, Lovable)
• Get something testable in front of people within days. Rough is fine, invisible isn't
• Run small experiments and think in phases

• Own visual and interaction quality end to end. Real opinions on type, spacing, hierarchy, motion
• Design native mobile and responsive web that holds up against the best apps people use
• Contribute to our design systems

• Partner closely with product, eng, research, and marketing
• Raise the bar for the designers around you through crit and pairing (not a management role, but a senior one)
• Advocate for the guest even when the pressure runs the other way, and explain why in terms the business cares about

• 5 to 7+ years designing consumer or consumer-grade products, with shipped work in your portfolio
• Range across native and responsive, guest-facing and operator-facing
• Bonus for scheduling, availability, transactional, or marketplace flow experience, or anything where a guest action has to land cleanly in someone else's operations
• Fluency with AI prototyping tools and Figma, with a strong handle on accessibility
• Solid UX fundamentals and the judgment to know which one a problem needs
  
  

We use these tools constantly, and we're specific about why. We want work that's better because of how you use AI: sharper concepts, more options explored, more of the unglamorous states actually designed. You know where it helps and where it produces confident mush.

• You design in code, or close enough that engineers trust your handoff
• You've built or stewarded a design system
• You've shipped consumer at scale and know what breaks there
• Front-end and performance literacy. You know why your beautiful transition is dropping frames
• You're a tinkerer. You build things nobody asked for just to see if they'd work
