Senior Product Designer

at  Plain

We are building the fastest, most powerful customer support platform for the next generation of B2B companies. Some of the world’s most forward-thinking companies, like Stytch, Sanity, and Fly.io, rely on Plain to consolidate all the channels where they speak with customers, collaborate with their teams, and speed up their workflow with our lightning-fast UI.
We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer to join our team and help us define the next phase of support tooling.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Design at Plain is about a lot more than pushing pixels in Figma, it’s about defining what support tooling should be. You’ll own problems end to end – from talking to customers, and coming up with new ideas all the way to tweaking animation easing curves in the front end.

You will:

• Work on everything from early feature ideation, designing, and shipping a feature through to building and launching a landing page to announce it to the world.
• Work closely with the entire team, as well as our customers – in sketches and prototypes, Figma mocks and PRs on Github. You’ll get into the weeds and measure your designs on what is shipped, not what’s in Figma.
• Help set the roadmap and priorities with the rest of the team. You’ll be the wide-angle lens of the team, interpreting customer feedback and your own experiences and gut and translating this into a coherent product vision.
• You will define the design system that powers Plain. From iconography to colors and design tokens and components, you will make sure that Plain’s UI is built as a cohesive system.
• You will iterate and work on design in the open and create a culture where anyone feels comfortable pitching product and UI ideas.

This is a role for a senior or staff-level product designer.
You should have a proven track record working for product-led companies, ideally in B2B SaaS, be as excited about UI details as you are about customer conversations, and be driven by impact above all.

THIS WON’T BE THE RIGHT ROLE IF YOU…

• Are uncomfortable with ambiguity. We have some really exciting traction but are still at an early stage and are constantly learning and trying new things as our company grows.
• Are looking to manage others. We’re firmly looking for someone who, for now, wants to be an individual contributor.
• Want a pure design role - you’ll be wearing many hats and get involved in all aspects of building a product and company.
• Want a traditional product team set up, with a predictable roadmap, clearly scoped out tickets, a PM, and so forth
• Expect all the perks of a big company. We’re a seed-stage startup and are competitive in what we offer at our stage, but it’s a different role and opportunity than working at an established tech company.
  Note: We are an equal-opportunity employer and remote-only company. At this time, we can only support hiring within Europe for this role.
