What you need

Senior Product Designer — qualifications

5–7 years of product design experience.
Has shipped end-to-end product surfaces and can operate independently on a defined problem area.
Contributes components and patterns to an existing design system.

Principal Product Designer — qualifications

5-10 years of product design experience, including senior or staff-level scope at a product-led company.
Has owned a design system end to end – established the architecture, documentation, and adoption model, not just contributed components.
Sets design direction across multiple product surfaces and influences roadmap and product strategy, not just execution.
Track record of raising the design bar across a team — mentoring, critique culture, hiring, or establishing practice standards.
Has designed for at least one domain with hardware, field, or operational constraints (industrial, IoT, logistics, healthcare, fintech ops, or similar).

AI is a native part of the design workflow. Design is actively using Claude for research synthesis, UX copy, and spec writing, and Lovable for rapid prototyping and concept validation — measurably shortening the distance between idea and artifact.
Designs simultaneously specify the experience and establish reusable patterns and tenets. Outpost's design system is measurably stronger: components are documented, reusable, and actively used by engineering without requiring designer intervention on every implementation.
Faster cycle time between customer/user feedback → design → spec → engineering, with fewer revision loops due to clearer, higher-fidelity handoff artifacts.
Every major product surface has a consistent, validated UX that reflects Outpost's design principles and passes internal usability benchmarks.
Product and design are aligned on priorities, speak the same language in customer-facing conversations, and co-own the quality of what ships.
Dovetail is populated with synthesized findings from driver, guard, and operator interviews that actively inform roadmap decisions.
PostHog and product analytics are part of the design workflow, so decisions are grounded in behavioral data, not just intuition.
