Job summary

Socket.dev is seeking a senior Product Designer to define platform-level experience architecture across navigation, permissions, and reusable UI patterns. You will lead cross-product workflows from onboarding to expansion, partnering with Product and Engineering to align UX with system models and platform capabilities.

You’ll collaborate with the Design System team, explore AI-enabled approaches, and raise design quality while simplifying complex tools.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of product design experience, or equivalent seniority, with a track record of leading complex, high-impact product work.
• Strong systems thinking and information architecture skills, with experience designing workflow-heavy products or tools with meaningful complexity.
• Proven ability to define scalable experience models, frameworks, and patterns that work across multiple products, teams, or customer journeys.
• Excellent product judgment, including the ability to simplify complexity while balancing usability, flexibility, and technical constraints.
• Strong cross-functional leadership and influence, with the ability to drive alignment across Product, Engineering, Design, and other stakeholders.
• Comfort working with complex system models, including permissions, configuration, object relationships, states, dependencies, and edge cases.
• Experience partnering closely with Design System teams and understanding the relationship between product architecture and reusable UI foundations.
• Adaptable and forward-looking in how design gets done, with meaningful use of emerging technologies such as AI, prototyping, and implementation tools to improve speed and quality.
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and proactively identifying opportunities beyond a single feature or product area.
• B2B or enterprise experience is a plus, but not required; we care more about the complexity of the product and workflows they’ve designed.

Responsibilities

• Define platform-level experience architecture across navigation, hierarchy, permissions, configuration, entitlements, and shared interaction patterns.
• Lead critical cross-product workflows such as onboarding, activation, setup, upsell, and expansion.
• Simplify complex, workflow-heavy tools by creating clear mental models, scalable interaction frameworks, and reusable product patterns.
• Partner deeply with Product and Engineering to align user experience with underlying system models, platform capabilities, and technical constraints.
• Work closely with the Design System team to translate shared product patterns into reusable, consistent UI foundations.
• Embrace new technologies and ways of working to prototype faster, iterate more effectively, and raise the quality of design outcomes.
• Explore how AI and new technologies can lower the barrier to complex software and shift experiences from “using tools” to “getting outcomes as a service,” with strong judgment about when to use them—and when not to.
