Description du poste

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Senior Product Designer | Kimchi based in France.

This is an opportunity to join a small, senior design team shaping a fast-moving B2B platform built for engineers and technical teams working with AI-assisted software development. You will own complex product problems across coding agents, developer tooling, desktop experiences, and infrastructure and spend management interfaces. The role combines end-to-end product design, independent user research, product strategy, and hands‑on prototyping. You will work closely with engineers and other designers, bringing a strong point of view while navigating ambiguity and technical constraints. AI-assisted development is an important part of the workflow, with opportunities to prototype directly in code rather than relying solely on traditional design tools. In a remote‑first international environment, your work will directly influence how technical teams build, manage, and scale AI‑powered development workflows.

Accountabilities:

• Own product problems end-to-end across CLI, desktop applications, inference and spend consoles, and developer tooling, from initial research through shipped designs and measurable outcomes.
• Lead user research independently by planning studies, conducting research, synthesizing findings, and translating insights into recommendations for product direction.
• Prototype directly in code when appropriate, using AI‑assisted development workflows to test and validate ideas within the product.
• Contribute a clear point of view to product strategy discussions, supported by product usage, research evidence, competitive awareness, and an understanding of user needs.
• Collaborate with engineers and other designers to develop solutions that balance user experience, technical constraints, architecture, and business objectives.
• Participate in cross‑team design reviews to identify overlap, maintain consistency, raise the quality bar, and stay aligned with broader product initiatives.
• Monitor design debt within your area and advocate for improvements when usability risks, technical constraints, or user feedback make them a priority.
• Communicate design decisions and research findings clearly through concise documentation and effective collaboration across a distributed organization.

Requirements:

• Senior‑level product design experience demonstrated through a strong portfolio or case studies focused on developer tools, AI/LLM products, coding agents, or other technical and data‑heavy SaaS platforms.
• Proven ability to own user research end‑to‑end and use research findings to influence product direction rather than simply contributing to studies led by others.
• Hands‑on experience with AI‑assisted development workflows such as Claude Code, Cursor, or similar tools, combined with genuine interest in working directly with code and the product.
• Strong ability to form, communicate, and defend design decisions in ambiguous environments without relying on predefined processes.
• Experience designing for technical or engineering‑focused users, with the confidence to discuss APIs, architecture, system constraints, and technical trade‑offs with engineers.
• Strong asynchronous communication skills, including the ability to create concise documentation and make compelling cases through writing.
• Experience working independently across the full product design lifecycle, from research and discovery through prototyping, delivery, and measuring outcomes.
• Nice to have: experience designing CLI or terminal‑based interfaces, familiarity with desktop applications, or experience presenting design and research findings to executive stakeholders.
• Strong curiosity, ownership, and willingness to work hands‑on in a fast‑moving product environment.

Benefits:

• Competitive salary of €4,500–€7,000 gross per month, depending on experience.
• Flexible, remote‑first working environment.
• Equity options.
• Fast‑paced workflow with most feature projects completed within 1–4 weeks.
• 10% of work time dedicated to personal projects or self‑improvement.
• Learning and development budget covering professional and personal development, including international conferences and courses.
• Annual hackathon focused on innovation and team collaboration.
• Team‑building budget and company events.
• Equipment budget to support an effective remote workspace.
• Extra days off to support work‑life balance.
• Opportunity to work with a global team of cloud and technology specialists on AI‑powered developer products.
