We’re looking for a senior product designer to provide short-term execution support

during a period of elevated design demand. This role is intentionally focused on shipping

high-quality, build-ready UX for well-defined problems, while our internal design team remains

focused on foundational systems, core product workflows, and long-term strategy.

This is a time-bound engagement with clear scope, ownership, and success criteria.

Duration & Commitment

• Duration: 10–14 weeks (time-bound engagement)

• Weekly Hours: 20–40 hours/week (flexible, based on project phase)

• Location: Remote (US time zone overlap preferred)

What You’ll Do

• Independently execute on clearly defined product requirements with minimal direction
• Translate well-framed problems into build-ready UX that Engineering can confidently implement
• Design user flows, states, and interaction details in Figma at the appropriate fidelity for the active Design Mode
• Ensure designs meet established quality bars for clarity, completeness, and usability
• Work within an existing or evolving design system and follow established patterns
• Proactively identify gaps, edge cases, and assumptions—and resolve or escalate them appropriately
• Partner closely with Engineering to unblock implementation while minimizing back-and-forth
• Communicate progress, risks, and decisions clearly and proactively
• Document designs and decisions to support smooth handoff and long-term continuity

Requirements

• 5+ years of product design experience
• Prior experience as a product design contractor or embedded designer
• Proven ability to execute independently in fast-moving product teams
• Strong judgment around design fidelity vs. time constraints
• Comfortable working within constraints and evolving systems
• Confident collaborating with Engineering in async environments
• Clear, concise communicator who surfaces issues early

Benefits

• Work remotely Monday - Friday, 40 hours a week (no weekends)
• Vacation: 10 business days a year
• Holidays: 5 National Holidays a year
• Company Holidays: 5 Company Holidays a year (Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, Zipdev Day)
• Parental Leave
• Health Care Reimbursement
• Active Lifestyle Reimbursement
• Quarterly Home Office Reimbursement
• Payroll Deduction Purchase Plans
