• 5–8 years of experience in Product Design
• Proven ability to lead design projects independently in fast-moving and complex environments
• Deep fluency in visual design — typography, layout, hierarchy, motion, and storytelling
• A strong point of view in UX fundamentals and systems thinking
• Comfort working across the full stack of design tools (Figma, prototyping, motion, Adobe, etc.)
• A portfolio that showcases thoughtful process, refined visual craft, and real-world product impact

Desirable

• We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer to help shape a product that reimagines dining and reinvigorates the economy of the restaurants that nourish our society — from app experiences to restaurant tools and brand expression
• You’ll have the autonomy to explore, iterate, and build your best work
• You’ll work in a team that values design as strategy — not decoration
• You’ll own design projects end-to-end: from concept to launch, from pixels to systems
• You’ll partner closely with product, engineering, brand marketing, and the Founder/CEO to ship work that’s both beautiful and deeply functional
• You’ll also collaborate directly with restaurant partners and creatives who care deeply about craft and community
• Join our small, ambitious team of designers, engineers, and restaurant industry experts and help us reimagine how hospitality works — from payments and rewards to storytelling and brand experience
• You’ll begin as the sole designer on a product squad focused on payments — shaping how guests pay, how restaurants manage transactions, and how crypto supports it all
• Over time, as priorities evolve, you’ll move fluidly between squads and initiatives, leading design in the areas of highest impact
• We’re a lean, collaborative team, and your work will influence nearly every surface of the Blackbird experience
• Lead end-to-end design for major product initiatives — from research and concept to final implementation
• Craft best-in-class UI that balances hospitality, brand warmth, and product clarity
• Collaborate cross-functionally with product managers, engineers, and brand designers to shape features and experiences
• Seek out answers, own the nuances
• Contribute to and evolve Blackbird’s design system — ensuring consistency and delight across touchpoints
• Use prototypes and motion to tell stories and bring ideas to life
• Help shape the design culture at Blackbird through feedback, collaboration, and craft excellence
