Sr. UX Designer

Auger Inc.; Bellevue (WA); On-site; USD 120,000 - 165,000; Full time

Job summary

Auger Inc. in Bellevue, WA is seeking a Product Designer who will own outcomes from problem definition through launch. You will collaborate with PMs, engineers, and other designers to ship product experiences that move key metrics, leveraging AI tools to prototype and test ideas.

You’ll work with LLMs, Claude, and Cursor, translate concepts into Figma, and contribute to patterns and design systems. A strong portfolio and ability to define success metrics are essential.

Qualifications

• Experience as a product designer on complex, data-heavy products.
• Ownership of projects from problem definition through launch.
• Active use of LLMs such as Claude or ChatGPT in your design workflow.
• Familiarity with Cursor or Claude Code, even if you are not writing production code by hand.
• A portfolio that shows strong product thinking, interaction design, and craft.
• Ability to work with PMs to define success metrics and adjust based on results.
• Clear communication and comfort collaborating directly with engineers and PMs.
• Experience planning and running customer interviews or usability tests.
• Familiarity with design systems and extending shared components.
• Comfort with basic front-end concepts such as components and states.
• Experience in fast-moving product teams where iteration and shipping matter.

Responsibilities

• Own product work end to end: Partner with PM and engineering to define problems, explore solution spaces, validate concepts, and ship product improvements that move key metrics. Stay involved through launch and iteration, not just handoff.
• Start in an LLM: Use tools like Claude to clarify intent, draft short PRDs, and surface risks, edge cases, and initial approaches.
• Validate assumptions with self-serve research: Talk directly with customers, run quick tests, and use what you learn to adjust direction.
• Prototype using AI tools: Use Cursor and Claude Code to build and iterate on flows and simple interfaces.
• Bring work into Figma: Translate validated concepts into Figma for full state coverage, system alignment, and production readiness.
• Design for the 80 / 20: Encode judgment and complexity under the hood while keeping the default experience simple and successful for most customers.
• Contribute to patterns and culture: Share prompts, patterns, and learnings with the design org. Participate in crits and reviews that raise the bar for quality.

Job description

About the Role

As a Product Designer at Auger, you are accountable for outcomes, not just artifacts. You work with PMs, engineers, and other designers to define the right problems, explore and validate solutions, and ship product experiences that change customer behavior.

Design at Auger is AI first and builder led. Work starts in an LLM, moves into tools like Claude and Cursor to explore flows and interactions, and then comes into Figma for systems and polish. Designers prototype early, test with real customers, and stay involved through launch and iteration.

We are looking for product designers who are excited to work this way and who want to use AI as a core part of how they design.

What You’ll Do

• Own product work end to end: Partner with PM and engineering to define problems, explore solution spaces, validate concepts, and ship product improvements that move key metrics. Stay involved through launch and iteration, not just handoff.
• Start in an LLM: Use tools like Claude to clarify intent, draft short PRDs, and surface risks, edge cases, and initial approaches. Use this work to align quickly with your team.
• Validate assumptions with self-serve research: Talk directly with customers, run quick tests, and use what you learn to adjust direction. Treat research as a velocity tool, not a gate.
• Prototype using AI tools: Use Cursor and Claude Code to build and iterate on flows and simple interfaces. Let AI generate code while you guide structure, behavior, and UX quality. Partner with engineers to decide what moves into the product.
• Bring work into Figma: Translate validated concepts into Figma for full state coverage, system alignment, and production readiness.
• Design for the 80 / 20: Encode judgment and complexity under the hood while keeping the default experience simple and successful for most customers.
• Contribute to patterns and culture: Share prompts, patterns, and learnings with the design org. Participate in crits and reviews that raise the bar for quality.

What You Need

• Experience as a product designer working on complex products, ideally in B2B, fintech, or other system and data heavy environments
• Ownership of projects from problem definition through launch and iteration
• Active use of LLMs such as Claude or ChatGPT in your design workflow
• Comfort working in tools like Cursor or Claude Code, even if you are not writing production code by hand
• A portfolio that shows strong product thinking, interaction design, and craft
• Ability to work with PMs to define success metrics and adjust based on results
• Clear communication and comfort collaborating directly with engineers and PMs
