Senior/Staff Product Designer, Sift

• 6+ years of experience in product design (UI/UX), with a strong portfolio demonstrating interaction design for complex, data-rich applications
• Storytelling skill set to help align team members around your vision and communicate the problems you’re solving
• Genuine curiosity about or demonstrated experience with AI-assisted design workflows
• Ability to operate across the full design spectrum: high-level UX flows, interaction logic, and pixel-level UI craft
• Strong cross-functional communication skills; you’re comfortable presenting work, receiving hard feedback, and partnering closely with engineers and PMs
• A bias for action in fast-paced, ambiguous environments — you shape problems as much as you solve them
• A portfolio is required to be considered for this role. We want to see your process — not just polished final screens. Show us how you think through ambiguous problems, how you work with complex data, and how your design decisions connect to user and business outcomes

Desirable

• We’re looking for a Product Designer to join Sift’s Design team and own core user experiences of Sift’s platform. You’ll perform user research, design the interactions, components, demonstrate workflows in interactive prototypes that engineers will rely on every day to monitor complex telemetry from advanced hardware systems
• This is a hands-on, high-craft role. You’ll work shoulder-to-shoulder with Product Management, Engineering and Design from early problem definition through to shipped product using our design system as a foundation while pushing it forward.
• You’re someone who thinks in systems but sweats the details, and who is genuinely excited about what hybrid AI design workflows make possible. We’re looking for designers who are genuinely curious; willing to suit up in a spacecraft cleanroom to observe our users. If that resonates with you, we should talk
• Lead user research, including on-site customer visits, to develop deep empathy for how advanced hardware engineers work and what they need
• Own product work end to end: Partnering with product management and engineering to define problems, explore solutions, validate prototypes and ship product improvements that move key metrics. Continuously innovating on work delivered, not just handoff
• Prototype using AI tools: Claude Code, Figma MCP to build and iterate on flows and interfaces. Let AI generate coded prototypes while you guide workflows and UX quality while referencing our product design system agentically
• Contribute to patterns and culture: Share prompts, patterns, and learnings within the design org. Participate in critiques and reviews in studio to grow a culture of collaboration and continuous improvement

• Candidates who advance past initial review will be invited to walk through 1–2 case studies with the design team
