Description du poste

About the role

WanderOS (wander.com/os) is the operating system for the businesses that run travel, and it is shipping faster than anything in the category. Direct booking websites, guest messaging, pricing, payments, distribution, and the AI agents that are starting to run operations on behalf of property managers all live in one product. The design bar has to keep up with product velocity, and that is where you come in.

As the L7 Staff Product Designer you will define design strategy across multiple product pillars of WanderOS, own the most complex systems in the product, and shape how the whole design function works. You will report directly to Wander’s CPO and work shoulder to shoulder with Product, Engineering, and the founder. You sweat the details, you zoom between the holistic view and the operator’s view continuously, and you deliver beautiful, useful, usable experiences that people run their businesses on.

This role is remote across the US or Canada. If you are in Austin or San Francisco, we have offices waiting for you (SF is in the Presidio).

Level: L7 Staff Product Designer

Years of experience set the level. This posting is for L7 Staff:

• 10 to 13+ years of product design experience shipping software products.
• You define strategy across multiple product pillars or complex systems, not just a single surface.
• You influence organizational design systems: you build them, scale them, and get whole teams to adopt them.

If you have 7 to 8+ years and want end-to-end ownership with mentoring, apply to our L6 Senior Product Designer posting instead. Title, scope, and compensation are set by level.

Who you are

• You have 10 to 13+ years of product design experience, ideally in B2B SaaS, marketplaces, fintech, or operational tools, with a portfolio that shows strategic judgement, systems thinking, and craft at the pixel level.
• You have defined design strategy across multiple product areas or complex systems and can show the business outcomes.
• You have built, scaled, or materially shaped a design system that an organization adopted.
• You have a deep technical understanding of how your designs get built. Bonus points if you have built something in code: a side project, a prototype, or a product.
• You have strong command of product strategy and business needs, and a wide range of UX tactics to get to user-centered outcomes.
• You are a systems thinker. You see how the pieces fit together and how an operator’s actions play out over weeks and months, not just one screen.
• You interpret experiments and quantitative data to inform decisions, and you know when to trust the numbers and when to go talk to an operator.
• You are a practiced communicator and storyteller who can defend a design rationale to executives, engineers, and founders alike.
• You lead through ambiguity with influence, not authority, and you have a track record of mentoring designers and raising a team’s bar.
• You are enthusiastic about using AI to change how products are designed and how operators work.
• You have deep mastery of Figma and modern prototyping tools, and you adopt new tools fast.
• Hardcore. You set a high bar, move fast, and ship.

What the job involves

• Lead design projects of significant scope, complexity, and responsibility across WanderOS, spanning creative vision, strategy, and execution.
• Define design direction across multiple product pillars: operator onboarding, calendar and reservations, pricing, guest communication, payments, distribution, and reporting.
• Untangle the most complex systems in the product and turn them into simple, fast, obvious interfaces. Our customers run businesses on this software. Every click counts.
• Define how AI agents show up inside WanderOS: what they do autonomously, how operators supervise them, and how trust is built and kept.
• Own the WanderOS design system as a product in its own right: patterns, components, tokens, and governance, so the team can ship consistently at ludicrous speed.
• Anchor and represent design inside cross-functional teams, improve the tools, patterns, and processes the team uses, and optimize for impact, velocity, and quality.
• Mentor and guide other designers, run critique, identify skill gaps, and partner with the CPO on how the design function scales.
• Talk to operators constantly. Run research, synthesize it, and bring the insight back into the roadmap.
• Prototype fast, test with real operators, and ship. We would rather learn in a week than debate for a month.
• Care about outcomes, not just outputs: activation, adoption, retention, and revenue.

Bonus points

• Experience designing AI-powered products or agentic workflows for business users.
• Background in travel, hospitality, vacation rentals, property management, or other operational SaaS.
• Experience with data-heavy interfaces: dashboards, pricing tools, calendars, or financial products.
• Mobile-first design chops and strong knowledge of native app and mobile web patterns.

Compensation and benefits

• Base salary: $210,000 to $260,000 USD. This is Series B startup market rate for the L7 Staff level, with placement in the range based on experience and location. Canadian offers are calibrated to local market rates.
• Meaningful equity. You will own a piece of what you build.
• Health, dental, and vision coverage.
• Remote-first across the US and Canada, with offices in Austin, TX and San Francisco (Presidio) if you want a desk.
