Job summary

BBG Ventures, LLC seeks a Senior Product Designer who blends product and systems design to extend our design system across platforms. You will build AI tooling interfaces as core work, and craft cross‑product workflows with a mobile‑first mindset.

You’ll own the VUI design system, prototype transitions, and align design with engineering to ensure cohesive experiences across search, growth points, and end‑to‑end journeys. This role is hybrid, based in San Francisco.

Qualifications

• 5+ years designing and shipping digital products end to end, from concept through delivery.
• Experience designing for mobile (iOS/Android) and responsive web; mobile‑first is a must.
• AI‑native mindset: using tools like Cursor, Claude, and v0 in design workflows.
• Experience owning or contributing to a design system at scale: tokenization, components, health.
• Exceptionally high craft bar: polished, precise, and intentional.
• Strong command of transition animations and prototyping: motion with purpose.
• Experience running cross‑product or platform‑level design for coherence at scale.
• Experience running experiments in an A/B testing environment.
• Bias toward speed and execution: ship with incomplete briefs when needed.
• Deep systems thinking: design patterns that prevent downstream problems.
• Lean in and ask questions to gain clarity prior to committing.
• A portfolio with high craft and evidence of thinking, not just shipped work.
• Strong collaborator: align teams with a clear point of view.

Responsibilities

• Own our design system (VUI): keep the system clean, well‑tokenized, and structured for Cursor usage; audit and improve with AI tooling.
• Define transition animations and interaction patterns; prototype at engineer‑buildable fidelity.
• Design cross‑product platform experiences across search, growth entry points, and end‑to‑end journeys between products.
• Design and prototype AI‑powered tools like Cursor and Claude to audit and scale the design system; model the workflow for the team.
• Partner with engineering to keep design intent and implementation tightly aligned.

Job description

About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer who works as both a product and systems designer. You’ll develop and extend our design systems across platforms, build cross‑product workflows, and design AI tooling and interfaces as core product work, not an afterthought.

What You’ll Do

• Own our design system (VUI): keep the system clean, well‑tokenized, and structured so designers can build in Cursor with confidence. Use AI tooling to audit and improve it continuously.
• Define transition animations and interaction patterns. Prototype at a fidelity engineers can build from without guessing.
• Design cross‑product platform experiences across search, growth entry points, and end‑to‑end journeys between products.
• Design and prototype AI‑powered tools like Cursor and Claude, using them to audit and scale the design system quickly. Model this workflow for the team.
• Partner with engineering to keep design intent and implementation tightly aligned.

What We’re Looking For

Required

• 5+ years designing and shipping digital products end to end, from concept through delivery.
• Experience designing for mobile (iOS/Android) and responsive web; mobile‑first is a must.
• AI‑native mindset: you’re already using tools like Cursor, Claude, and v0 in your design and prototyping workflow, or you’re genuinely eager to learn and lean in with the team.
• Experience owning or contributing to a design system at scale: tokenization, component architecture, keeping it healthy over time.
• Exceptionally high craft bar: polished, precise, and intentional. You raise the standard for the people around you.
• Strong command of transition animations and prototyping: you design motion with purpose and produce prototypes engineers can build from.
• Experience with cross‑product or platform‑level design: you hold context across surfaces and design for coherence at scale.
• Experience running experiments: comfortable in an A/B testing environment and using results to inform decisions without losing craft.
• Bias toward speed and execution: you move fast, make calls with incomplete information, and don’t need a perfect brief to ship.
• Deep systems thinking: you see the whole before the parts and design patterns that don’t create downstream problems.
• Leans in and asks questions: you push for clarity before committing, not after.
• A portfolio with high craft and evidence of how you think, not just what you shipped.
• Strong collaborator: you align teams through a clear point of view, not just charisma.

Nice to Have

• Experience with growth design, including activation flows, upgrade moments, conversion surfaces, or product‑led growth patterns.
• Experience designing for creative tools, photography products, or creative communities.
• Familiarity with design token architecture and cross‑platform theming.
• Affinity for VSCO’s mission and the photographers we serve.

Job Perks

• Hybrid work with an office in San Francisco, CA.
• Regular in‑person events to connect and collaborate.
• Competitive salary & equity.
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance for employees and families.
• Flexible Time Off.
• Company‑paid parental, medical and caregiver leave.
• Other perks including mental health resources and tech reimbursements.
