Job description

This role is based in NYC and is in person.

Our product

Graphite is modern code review for fast-moving teams - we help engineers write better pull requests, review and leave more actionable feedback on code changes, stay unblocked, and ship faster.

We started Graphite because we missed internal code review tools like Phabricator (at Facebook) and Critique (Google) that help engineers create, approve, and ship incremental changes. We want to make well-designed, high-quality developer tooling accessible to everyone.

Our company

We're a small-but-mighty team of 24 based in Manhattan in the heart of Soho, with a passionate and rapidly growing group of users at top engineering orgs like Datadog, Bolt, Brex, Ramp, and Snowflake.

We raised a $20m Series A (featured in TechCrunch) led by Peter Levine at Andreessen Horowitz (who led GitHub's Series A), with participation from folks like Tom Preston-Werner (founder of GitHub), Sam Lambert (Planetscale CEO & ex-GitHub CTO), Sebastian Markbåge (creator of React), and many more.

About the role

Graphite is growing rapidly, we're looking for a senior product designer to help us execute on our user experience vision, bring innovative and impactful features to our users, and evolve our design system.

Rethinking the way fast-moving software engineering teams write and review code every day is no small feat, and we believe that the best solutions are built when most talented, ambitious, and dedicated people with diverse backgrounds come together. We're a fast-paced product and design driven company with an extremely talented and insightful engineering team.

The ideal candidate has:

• 7+ years of experience
• Full stack, UX and visual design skills
• Can translate ambiguous user needs into concrete requirements and design solutions
• Interest in workflow or design / dev tools are a plus
