Senior Product Designer

Alchemy; United States; Remote; USD 95,000 - 130,000; Full time

Job summary

Alchemy is seeking a Product Designer who blends product thinking, front-end engineering, and design to shape interactive experiences. You’ll own core UI components and contribute to a scalable design system while partnering with engineers to deliver high-quality UI across products.

You’ll prototype quickly, ship when appropriate, and maintain attention to spacing, motion, and accessibility as part of a growing AI-native product ecosystem.

Qualifications

• Strong front-end fundamentals and ability to build interactive UI.
• Experience shipping component libraries or design systems.
• Clear communication across disciplines and translating design intent to technical constraints.

Responsibilities

• Build production-quality prototypes and, when appropriate, ship production front-end code to validate UX direction quickly.
• Own and evolve Alchemy's design system with reusable components, patterns and interaction primitives.
• Translate design intent into high-quality React/TypeScript UI with attention to spacing, hierarchy, motion, and interaction polish.
• Drive system scalability by identifying gaps and shipping additions for consistency and speed.
• Collaborate with product designers to improve craft and feasibility and to reduce handoff friction.
• Improve UI-building practices through documentation, examples, and workflow improvements.
• Build for an AI-native product future with patterns that support rapid experimentation.
• Contribute to design-system adoption and accessibility standards when needed.

Job description

About The Role

As a Product Designer you'll sit at the intersection of product design, product thinking, and front-end engineering- someone who can take early, ambiguous ideas and turn them into interactive, evaluable experiences fast, helping teams make better decisions sooner.

This role is front-end and systems-heavy, with a strong balance of hands-on building and product design partnership. You'll help us scale and evolve Alchemy's UI system- owning core components, patterns, and implementation quality- while also jumping into product work when needed to unblock teams and raise the craft bar. This is a high-leverage role: you'll reduce handoff friction, increase prototype velocity, and elevate UI quality through hands-on building, close collaboration, and a strong point of view on systems.

What You'll Do

Build production-quality prototypes (and, when appropriate, ship production front-end code) to validate UX direction quickly- often on tight timelines.

Own and evolve Alchemy's design system in practice: build and maintain reusable components, patterns, and interaction primitives that scale across products.

Translate design intent into high-quality React/TypeScript UI, with attention to spacing, hierarchy, motion, and interaction polish.

Drive system scalability: identify gaps, propose improvements, and ship additions that make the product ecosystem more consistent and faster to build.

Partner closely with product designers to improve the craft and feasibility of design work- bringing an engineer's pragmatism and a designer's taste.

Collaborate tightly with product engineers to reduce rework and make the path from prototype -> implementation smoother.

Improve "how we build UI" muscle across teams: documentation, examples, and workflow improvements that raise the baseline.

Build for an AI-native product future: create interaction patterns and UI foundations that support rapid experimentation and iteration in AI-driven experiences.

Contribute to design-system adoption and quality: tokens/components/docs, accessibility standards, and tooling (e.g., Storybook) when needed.

Help teams iterate in short cycles (e.g., ~5-10 day "idea -> prototype -> decision" loops), bringing clarity to what’s possible and what’s worth building.

What We’re Looking For

Strong front-end fundamentals and comfort building interactive UI (e.g., React + TypeScript; equivalent stacks welcome).

Systems-minded builder: you've shipped and maintained component libraries / design systems (tokens, components, documentation, adoption).

A designer's eye: you care about hierarchy, spacing, typography, interaction details, and visual polish.

Proven ability to prototype quickly without sacrificing craft—and to choose the right fidelity for the question at hand.

Ability to operate in ambiguity and move fast with high ownership.

Clear communicator across disciplines; you can translate between design intent and technical constraints.

Bonus: accessibility fluency, Storybook (or similar), motion/animation experience, an
