Staff/Senior Product Designer

Job description

Ryz Labs is looking for a Staff/Senior Product Designer to support the Intake Operations team of one of our clients.

What We’re Looking For

We only hire superstars — expect to be asked why you’re one.

Required

- A portfolio of shipped product design for complex, data-heavy tools — real products, real users,

not concept work

- Systems thinker — you design components and patterns, not one-off screens

- High ownership, speed, and comfort with ambiguity; you set your own bar

- Strong written and verbal English; clear async communication

Nice to have

- You can build what you design — front-end skills (React/Tailwind) are a big plus

- B2B SaaS, construction, or other industrial software. No construction background? Fine — if you

learn fast, the industry is learnable. The founder is your shortcut.

What we expect day to day

- You get problems, not tickets. There’s no PM. Tristan hands you a problem — “forecasting

zoom is rough,” “bid tab tables are inconsistent” — and you work it through yourself: dig into

the product, talk to users, explore options, come back with a spec engineers can build from.

Working through ambiguity is the job.

- You live in Linear with the engineers. ~3–4 engineers to one designer. Specs, explorations, and

decisions live in Linear, attached to the work. Daily standup; you show work-in-progress

constantly, not big reveals.

- You spend real time with customers. Customer calls and onboarding sessions weekly. Watch

estimators actually use the product. Design decisions here are defended with “I watched an

estimator do X” — not taste alone.

- You work in the open and take feedback straight. We are direct. You ship progress to the team

channel, present at reviews, and get honest feedback — including from the founder. We argue

about the work, decide fast, and move.

- You use AI aggressively. Everyone here uses AI daily for research, writing, analysis, and building.

Same bar for design.
