Staff Product Designer

About VSCO

For years, we've helped photographers create their work. Now we're building what comes next.

VSCO exists for photographers. Not as a side feature, not as an afterthought, but as the whole point. We build the connected system photographers rely on, and we've spent over a decade earning the trust of a global creative community that takes the craft seriously.

Photography is at an inflection point. AI is reshaping what's possible for creative work, and that's where our mission shines. VSCO is building the full photographer's workflow: from creating and editing your work, to delivering it to clients, to running your business. All of it built thoughtfully, with photographers leading the way. We believe the future of photography tools creates more space for creativity, handling the busy work so photographers can focus on the craft.

If you care about craft, community, and what technology can unlock for creative people, this is the work. We're a mission-driven and focused company where your work ships quickly, is meaningful, and reaches tens of millions of people worldwide. You'll have a real say in what we build and how we build it. We hire people who don't wait to be asked, naturally connect the dots, care about the quality of what they ship, and believe the best outcomes come from building together.

We're looking for a Staff Product Designer to join our design team and lead high-impact design initiatives across our portfolio. You'll own products end-to-end — from strategy and problem framing through interaction design, visual craft, and delivery. This role will be responsible for designing our next generation of photography business management tools and the AI frameworks that drive them. This is a product-defining role where you'll be a primary design voice, working closely with product, engineering, and data to shape strategy, define what gets built, and drive measurable outcomes.

At VSCO, our product, design, and engineering squads work closely and move fast because we've embraced AI-first processes across the team. Our team uses AI-assisted tools like Cursor as a core part of how we design, prototype, and ship. We're looking for someone with hands-on experience using these tools and we're looking for someone comfortable designing within this workflow — where rapid ideation, quick iteration, and early testing are core to how we ship while still holding a high bar for craft.

• Own Workspace end-to-end, from strategy and problem framing through activation loop design, upgrade experience, and paid product delivery.
• Define the AI Agent experience: interaction model, agent behaviors, escalation logic, tone, and how conversation hands off to UI.
• Work with your squad (PM, design, and engineering) to shape product direction, drive alignment on what gets built, and push back on platform limitations with clear rationale.
• Communicate design direction to senior leadership and drive alignment across functions.
• Use AI-assisted tools (Cursor, Claude, v0) for speed and exploration, return to Figma for craft refinement and system alignment, and ensure the quality of what ships reflects a high standard.
• Contribute to VUI, ensuring Workspace and AI agent components are well-structured and token-compliant.
• Mentor other designers on interaction principles, systems thinking, and AI-assisted workflows.

• 8+ years of product design experience, including 0 to 1 work in ambiguous, fast-moving environments
• High AI fluency and a proven track record using AI-assisted design and prototyping tools (Cursor, Claude, v0) as an active part of your workflow
• Experience designing AI-powered or agent-driven product experiences with a clear point of view on trust, transparency, and user control
• Exceptional interaction and visual design skills, with a high bar for craft at every stage of delivery
• Strong portfolio showing strategic product thinking alongside polished, shipped work across mobile and web
• Experience designing business tools, CRM-adjacent products, or workflow-driven experiences
• Strong systems thinking: you design scalable patterns and think about how decisions ripple across surfaces
• Track record of influencing product roadmap and tying design decisions to business outcomes
• Experience working within and contributing to a design system
