# Product Designer

Own how our products look, feel and behave, from the first rough flow to the pixel that ships.

[How to apply](https://caygnus.com/careers/product-designer#apply)

## The role

You will own product design end to end: the flow, the interaction, the visual language and the state that ships. You will work directly with the engineers building it, usually in the same week. A lot of this is designing for uncertainty. AI products stream, take time, fail partway, and are sometimes wrong. Making that legible and calm instead of alarming is the interesting part.

## What you will do

-   Take problems from rough flow to shipped interface, not just to a handoff file.
-   Design for streaming, latency, partial failure and recovery: the states most tools skip.
-   Build and maintain the design system so the tenth screen costs less than the first.
-   Sit with the engineers implementing your work and resolve the last ten percent together.
-   Design the marketing surfaces too: the site, the launch, the case study.
-   Talk to people using the product and let that change what you draw.

## What we look for

Portfolio over pedigree. Show us the work and the reasoning behind it.

-   Shipped product work you can walk through decision by decision.
-   Strong craft: type, spacing, hierarchy, and motion that has a reason.
-   Systems thinking. You design components, not one-off screens.
-   Comfortable in ambiguity, and happy to drop a direction that is not working.
-   You read and write enough code to know what is cheap and what is expensive.
-   You write clearly about why a design is the way it is.

## How we hire

1.  Portfolio conversation · We walk through two or three pieces together: the constraint, what you tried, and what you would change now.
2.  A real problem, paid · A short design exercise drawn from something we are actually working on. We pay for your time on it.
3.  Team conversation · How you like to work, what you want to build next, and whatever you want to ask us.
