Principal Product Designer, MURAL

• This role demands a designer who moves fluidly between systems thinking and pixel-perfect detail
• You’ll be successful if you can architect complex design frameworks while still caring deeply about motion, spacing, clarity, and emotional resonance
• You’re AI-fluent, and you understand how to bring intelligence into a product as a companion, readily available with the right context and capabilities
• 10+ years of product design experience with a focus on complex desktop or enterprise applications
• Proven ability to contribute to high-quality design systems and product experiences at scale
• Exceptional craft: visual clarity, spacing, motion, and interaction polish are second nature
• Strong systems thinking: understands how design decisions cascade across flows, surfaces, and user journeys
• Experience designing for both enterprise and consumer audiences, balancing complexity with clarity
• Deep empathy for diverse, global users and experience designing for accessibility, personalization, and inclusivity
• Curiosity and proactive problem solving: you explore edge cases, anticipate constraints, and think beyond the immediate brief
• Experience working cross-functionally in highly collaborative, iterative environments
