Senior Product Designer

Midjourney; San Francisco (CA); On-site; USD 200,000 - 285,000; Full time

Job summary

Midjourney is seeking a senior product designer to craft core product experiences for web and mobile, collaborating with engineers and researchers from concept through launch. You will own major surfaces end-to-end, invent new interaction paradigms, and use research, analytics, and user feedback to guide improvements.

The role requires a decade of software design experience, comfort across interaction, visual design, and product thinking, and a strong preference for prototyping over formal

Qualifications

• You've spent the last decade designing software people love to use.
• You're comfortable moving between interaction design, visual design, and product thinking.
• You enjoy working closely with engineers.
• You agree that good work often emerges out of many rounds of iteration. You explore wildly, are always ready to kill your darlings, and rework ideas until something clicks and feels correct.
• You'd rather prototype than make a presentation.
• Work > ego

Responsibilities

• Own major product surfaces end-to-end: concept, flows, interaction, visual polish, ship.
• Invent interaction paradigms for things that haven't existed before and make those new paradigms legible and fun.
• Use research, experimentation, analytics, and user feedback to understand what people need and where products can improve.
• Prototype constantly, in Figma and in code — tools like Claude and Cursor should be part of your workflow.
• Partner directly with engineering and research to refine interactions, iterate quickly, and ship high-quality work.
