Staff Product Designer, Knowledge Graph

As a Staff Product Designer, you will lead design for cross-cutting platform experiences, the foundational elements that touch every workflow regardless of stage. Every decision ripples across the product, so the role requires deep collaboration: you will partner closely with Product Management, Engineering, and designers across stages to translate ambiguity into clear direction, define solutions, and ship work that meaningfully improves the experience for developers and DevSecOps teams. The role is project based, starting with Knowledge Graph, solving persistent problems that span organizational boundaries and require a holistic view of the product.

Responsibilities

• Lead design on platform experience: drive the end-to-end design process for cross-cutting features and workflows, defining both tactical deliverables and strategic outputs that connect to longer-term platform vision.
• Partner cross-functionally: coordinate across multiple groups to align on platform-level experiences, shape priorities, scope MVCs, and ensure design intent is maintained through development.
• Elevate craft and quality through excellence in interaction design, visual design, and systems thinking, raising the bar via thoughtful feedback in design reviews.
• Contribute to the Pajamas Design System by identifying reusable patterns, proposing new components, and ensuring work extends system standards.
• Mentor and support Product Designers and Senior Product Designers through pairing, design critiques, and knowledge sharing.
• Ground work in research: conduct usability studies, competitor evaluations, and formative research, collaborating with UX Research on problem validation.

Qualifications

• Demonstrated ability to lead design on complex, ambiguous projects requiring significant cross-functional collaboration.
• Strong portfolio showing end-to-end product design work, from problem framing through shipped solutions.
• Experience mentoring designers and elevating team craft.
• Proficiency with Figma and prototyping tools.
• Excellent communication skills: presenting work, articulating rationale, and facilitating alignment.
• Systems thinking and experience contributing to or working with design systems.
• Familiarity with developer tools, DevSecOps, or technical B2B products is a plus.
• Experience working in remote, distributed teams.
