Senior Product Designer — End-to-End UX & Design Systems

NewsBreak; Mountain View (CA); On-site; USD 118,000 - 250,000; Full time

Job summary

NewsBreak is seeking a senior/staff product designer in the United States (Mountain View, CA) to own product design end to end for consumer and professional experiences, from research to launch. You will establish and maintain a design system to keep multiple front ends coherent and accelerate engineering.

The role requires a portfolio with end-to-end shipped products, ownership of a design system, fluency with AI-assisted design, hands-on user research, and strong writing.

Qualifications

• 6+ years of product design experience for Senior; 9+ years, including time at a staff or lead level, for Staff.
• Multiple consumer products shipped end to end, from research through launch, where you were the primary designer.
• A portfolio that shows a consistent, repeatable framework for how you approach problems, with outcomes stated.
• Ownership of a design system used by multiple engineers or teams.
• Fluency with AI-assisted design and prototyping tools as a daily production method, while retaining ownership of the judgment.
• Hands-on user research and usability testing that you planned and ran yourself, recently.
• Experience designing conversion-critical flows such as onboarding, forms, or transactions where user error carries real cost, with measured results.
• Strong writing. Interface copy is part of the design, and plain language is a requirement.

Responsibilities

• Own product design end to end for the consumer and professional experiences: research, information architecture, interaction design, visual design, and the copy that carries them.
• Establish and maintain the design system so that multiple front ends stay one coherent product, and so engineering can move quickly without design debt.
• Design the decision, consent, and verification-disclosure patterns that are central to the product, and make trust legible without relying on badges or claims.
• Set the accessibility and inclusive-design standard for the company and hold every release to it.
• Run continuous discovery and usability research with real users, and turn findings into shipped changes on short cycles.
• Partner closely with product, engineering, and the AI team so that model behavior and interface behavior are designed together.
• Over time, shape the design function: hire, mentor, or remain a senior individual contributor with others around you.
