Senior Product Designer

At Dscout, we’re building the most flexible and powerful UX research platform on the market-trusted by the world’s top brands in finance (JP Morgan Chase, Intuit, Charles Schwab, PayPal), healthcare (Aya, Headspace), consumer goods (Keen, Verizon, Target, Northface), and tech (Google, Amazon, Facebook, Meta, Spotify, AirBnB). Our tools help teams deeply understand the humans behind their products, so they can build better ones. We are expanding our smart and driven team and would love for you to join us.

We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer to own the end-to-end experience across our participant-facing ecosystem: web, native mobile, and our Chrome extension.

You combine sharp interaction and visual craft with systems-level thinking, keeping the experience unified across both platforms. You’ll partner closely with product and engineering in a fast-paced environment powered by AI-augmented workflows.

You default to extreme ownership. You define the product vision, hold the bar for what ships, and identify critical gaps before anyone asks.

This is a wide-scope, fully hands-on IC role focused on driving participant growth. As you get up to speed and evaluate the ecosystem, we expect you to identify where design bottlenecks lie and make the case for how we scale the function over time.

01How we work

AI environments like Claude and Cursor are first-class design tools here. We don’t throw static specs over the fence or get bogged down in alignment decks. Instead, we use AI tooling to spin up interactive prototypes and live code early, letting us test real interactions and iterate on actual software.

We operate as curious, low-ego builders who value showing over theorizing. We share unfinished work early, critique often, and solve problems collaboratively across disciplines. You will have a direct hand in shaping both our product ecosystem and the way we build together.

02What you'll do

• Set cross-surface product vision: Define and drive the design direction across mobile, web, and our Chrome extension, ensuring the ecosystem feels intuitive, cohesive, and unified.
• Act as a core product thought partner: Collaborate across multiple PM work streams to sharpen product strategy, deconstruct complex problems, and find simpler, faster paths to release.
• Execute hands-on at high velocity: Design core flows, components, and high-fidelity interfaces yourself, leveraging modern AI tooling to maintain quality across a wide footprint.
• Bridge design and native engineering: Work in lockstep with engineers to navigate platform-specific constraints, inspect implementations, and ensure production releases match the intended design fidelity.
• Evaluate and evolve design infrastructure: Audit our component libraries and design tokens across all surfaces, establishing a scalable foundation and identifying where future design investments or resources are needed.
• Drive collaborative product discovery: Partner with Product and Research to uncover participant needs, while independently spotting usability gaps and growth bottlenecks to shape upcoming initiatives.
• Directly inspect post-launch performance: Pull data, synthesize participant feedback, and query product telemetry directly via AI tools and MCPs to iterate fast on live features without waiting in a reporting queue.

03What you bring

• Senior-level multi-surface craft: Shipped portfolio work showing exceptional visual and interaction design across native mobile, web, and extensions.
• Design system governance: Proven experience building, maintaining, and governing design systems in direct partnership with engineering, including keeping components, design tokens, and interaction patterns aligned across multiple connected platforms.
• Strong systems thinking: You naturally look for recurring patterns, reusable frameworks, and structural solutions rather than one-off fixes, without sacrificing visual polish or interaction craft.
• AI-native daily workflow: Hands-on mastery of modern AI tools to accelerate research, ideation, and production design.
• High technical fluency: Deep interest in frontend implementation details, component architecture, and the mechanics of how software gets built.
• Vision plus execution: Comfort operating at 30,000 feet to shape product strategy, then immediately dropping down to design high-fidelity details.
• Extreme agency & ownership: You identify problems before anyone flags them and own the quality bar from kickoff through release.
• Comfort with evolving environments: High resilience and autonomy inside a fast-moving team that is actively establishing its operating model.

04Nice to have

• Marketplace experience: Background designing for two-sided marketplaces, dual-sided user journeys, or platform dynamics.
• Front-end fluency: Practical experience writing code (especially modern React, HTML, and CSS) to build production-grade prototypes or ship interface polish directly.
• Micro-interaction & motion craft: Hands-on experience with motion design (e.g., Rive, Lottie, or code-based transitions) to bring nuance, feedback, and personality to interface states.
• Mentorship & leadership instincts: Experience mentoring other designers, leading design crits, or helping scale a small design function.

Of course, what is outlined above is an ideal set of expectations; however, business needs and other projects and tasks may shift, and additional tasks could be assigned at the discretion of your manager.
