Job description

About the Role

We’re looking for a creative, curious, and impact-driven Product Designer to join our team and help shape seamless, user-centered experiences across our digital products. As a Senior Designer, you’ll be embedded in a product team, working closely with product managers, engineers, researchers, and stakeholders to craft intuitive, accessible, and scalable solutions.

This is a hands-on role where your work will directly influence key business outcomes, from customer satisfaction to conversion and retention.

What You’ll Do

• Own end-to-end design work: from discovery and ideation through to delivery and iteration
• Translate business and user needs into elegant, practical design solutions
• Create user flows, wireframes, mockups, and prototypes that balance user goals with technical feasibility
• Conduct and support usability testing and user interviews in partnership with UX researchers
• Collaborate closely with product managers and engineers to bring your designs to life
• Champion design systems and contribute to their evolution
• Help raise the UX bar across the company by advocating for design best practices and user-first thinking

What We’re Looking For

• 5 years of experience in product design, ideally within agile, cross-functional team
• A visual storyteller at heart — passionate about illustration and motion to bring ideas to life.
• Strong UX and UI design skills with a portfolio that shows both thinking and craft
• Solid understanding of user-centered design principles and accessibility standards
• Fluency with Figma and prototyping techniques
• Comfortable collaborating with developers and PMs throughout the product lifecycle
• Experience with or interest in working with data to inform design decisions (e.g., analytics, A/B testing, heatmaps)
• A growth mindset, openness to feedback, and willingness to share and learn
• Experienced with accessibility standards, including WCAG guidelines
• Skilled in conducting accessibility audits to ensure compliance

Bonus Points

• Experience working in fintech, e-commerce, or platform-based products
• Exposure to service design or end-to-end customer journey mapping
• Contribution to a design system or shared component library
• Familiarity with front-end development basics (HTML/CSS)
• Interest in AI prototyping for quick idea validation is a plus

Why You’ll Love It Here

• A product organization that values and invests in UX
• A small but mighty design team where your voice matters
• Opportunities to grow into senior roles and shape the future of our design culture
• Competitive salary, flexible working hours, and strong benefits

At Planet, we embrace a hybrid work model, with three days a week in the office.

Reasonable accommodations may be made in order to allow for an individual to perform the essential functions of this role successfully.
