Product Designer

The Role

Baseten is looking for a Product Designer to help shape the next generation of our platform. You'll join a small design team with a lot of ownership and a high bar for craft, working across the entire Baseten product to solve hard problems for technical users.

This role covers the full arc of the work: early exploration through production. You'll establish patterns that show up across the product, evolve our design system, and raise the quality bar as we scale.

Responsibilities

• Lead product design end to end, including research, product definition, prototypes, design reviews, specs, and final implementation.
• Work directly with engineering and product to frame problems, explore solutions, and ship quickly.
• Collaborate with customers to understand their workflows, validate ideas, and test prototypes.
• Push the visual and interaction quality of the Baseten product across surfaces.
• Create interactions and details that make complex technical workflows feel clear, fast, and polished.
• Evolve our design system and establish patterns that scale across a growing product.
• Look across the product for opportunities to improve consistency, usability, and overall quality.
• Get into the code with engineers to polish UI and make sure the shipped experience matches the design.
• Help shape how the design team works and raise the bar for product quality across the company.

Requirements

• A portfolio that demonstrates strong visual and interaction design.
• Experience designing complex, technical, or developer-focused products.
• Ability to take an ambiguous problem, understand the underlying customer need, explore multiple approaches, and drive to a strong solution.
• Deep attention to typography, layout, hierarchy, interaction, and systems.
• Experience working directly with engineers and customers, without layers of process in between.
• A fast, prototype-early working style that uses what you learn to iterate.
• Ability to think beyond individual features and improve patterns and systems across a product.
• Comfort with technical tools like Git and VS Code, and interest in working directly in React, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, or TypeScript.
• Strong product and design judgment, with the ability to articulate why something is good, what could be better, and when the work is ready to ship.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation, including meaningful equity
• (U.S. only) 100% coverage of medical, dental, and vision insurance for employee and dependents
• Flexible PTO policy including company wide Winter Break (our offices are closed from Christmas Eve to New Year's Day!)
• Paid parental leave
• Fertility and family-building stipend through Carrot
• (U.S. only) Company-facilitated 401(k)
• Exposure to a variety of ML startups, offering unparalleled learning and networking opportunities.
