Role
Who you are
- We’re looking for a talented and curious Product Designer to join our team and contribute to the enhancement and evolution of LaunchDarkly’s Feature Management and Enterprise experiences
- This is a great role for someone who thrives in cross-functional environments, understands developer mindsets and needs, and loves translating technical workflows into elegant, usable experiences beyond just the UI
- Team-Oriented: You excel at collaborating across the company. You can move easily between business stakeholders, product management and development partners
- Great Communicator: You have a natural ability to build relationships with cross-functional team members and are skilled at advocating for the best user experience
- A Believer: You understand that technology can simplify, delight and enhance our lives and hope to build transformative innovation through your career
- Startup Mentality: You thrive in a fast-paced, high-intensity environment where you balance multiple projects and can prioritize your work both short and long term
- Driven: You are motivated to achieve success both at work and in your personal life
- Commercially Aware: You understand how design ties to business objectives, understand target audience profiles and insights, and incorporate these into effective design solutions
- 4+ years of experience as a product designer, ideally in technology-forward Enterprise SaaS software
- Proficiency with Figma and other modern design tools, including AI prototyping tools
- A portfolio of shipped work that demonstrates strong problem-solving skills, user-centered design processes, and impactful outcomes (ideally focused on both the Administrator and the Developer personas)
- While Product Designers at LaunchDarkly own work on the end-to-end design of product experiences, we don't expect you to be an expert in every skill a designer may possess. You should, however, have strong foundational design skills, and be developing expertise in one or two specific areas
- Lifelong learner, always looking to grow and improve at your craft
- Able to autonomously handle multiple, potentially technically complex projects at once
- Excellent communicator, both written and verbal
- Great storyteller and presenter of your own design work
What the job involves
- This is a unique opportunity to work at the heart of our platform: helping to design critical tools used by developers and enterprise teams every day to manage and control software releases
- You’ll be involved in designing workflows that balance technical power with clarity, supporting users from small teams to global enterprises
- Working closely with staff designers, product managers and engineers to explore user needs and define problems, you will deliver elegant and delightful solutions
- This is a high-impact role that offers space to grow your design skillset while contributing meaningfully to our roadmap
- You will contribute directly to execution by bringing design craft, collaboration, and iteration to the table
- Work on the design of end-to-end user experiences (from discovery through delivery and iteration), covering both feature management workflows and enterprise expansion
- Translate complex, technical problem spaces into intuitive, testable UX patterns
- Conduct and apply user research, usability testing, and data insights to inform design decisions and influence product strategy
- Deliver high-quality design artifacts (user flows, wireframes, prototypes, high-fidelity visuals) that balance user needs with technical feasibility
- Work with engineering and product partners to ensure high-quality implementation and tight iteration loops
- Collaborate deeply with other designers (participating in design critiques and independent reviews) to maintain consistency across the LaunchDarkly platform and contribute to our design system
- Advocate for feature management and enterprise user needs in platform-wide discussions and initiatives. Be the trusted voice of the user: you have strong communication skills, with the ability to influence and inspire others
Our take
Feature flags are a powerful software development tool, allowing teams to modify system behavior without changing code, therefore minimizing risk. If a business has a new feature they want to test, they can then roll it out to a small set of users before letting it go live. These companies can, for example, get quick feedback on the new feature and fix any bugs, or roll back any changes.
LaunchDarkly allows companies to run tests like this by activating the new code for only a small set of users prior to launch. Typically running these tests requires lots of developer time - a daunting and expensive prospect for most rapidly growing businesses - and can risk disruption to the user experience if testing takes place on the live product.
The platform is used by more than 1,500 customers, including the likes of IBM, Intuit and Atlassian. Signalling a change in strategy, the company shook up its management in 2023 and is now aiming to scale its already strong growth under the leadership of Dan Rogers, a product and marketing specialist with an impressive track record at Rubrik, AWS and Microsoft. It is now well poised to develop into a leading business in the feature management space.
