We're looking for a Principal Product Designer who brings a rare mix of strategic insight, exceptional craft, and a deep understanding of human behavior and business context.
In this role, you'll lead design for core areas of Kokai, our next-generation platform, and shape experiences that feel simple - even when the underlying systems are not.

* Translate data-heavy systems and workflows into experiences that feel light, structured, and focused - helping expert users prioritize, act confidently, and stay in flow.
* Apply a strong product sense and understanding of business levers to ensure design decisions are not only user-centered but strategically aligned.
* Drive quality and consistency across key product areas, while also owning and executing design strategy for critical pillars of the Kokai platform.
* Partner closely with Product and Engineering to shape roadmaps, define requirements, and advocate for user-centered, insight-driven decision-making.
* Coach and influence other designers through critiques, systems thinking, and storytelling - modeling best-in-class design practices and raising the bar across the team.
* Contribute to Harbor, our unified design system, to push quality and consistency across all surfaces and components.
* Lead by example through design critiques, mentorship, and collaboration-helping foster a culture of continuous improvement, excellence, and shared ownership of quality.
Qualifications

* 10+ years of experience in product design or UX, including work on enterprise-grade or data-rich applications.
* 4+ years of experience leading high-impact design initiatives or strategic projects across teams or product areas.
* Proven experience working in cross-functional teams, influencing outcomes through collaboration, systems thinking, and storytelling.
* Strong visual and interaction design skills, with a portfolio that demonstrates high standards of craft, clarity, and user-centered problem solving - please include a viewable link or access instructions with your resume.
* Proficiency in Figma and the ability to prototype at multiple levels of fidelity to communicate and validate ideas effectively.
* Experience partnering with executive stakeholders and contributing to product vision and roadmap through design leadership.
* A track record of translating complex user needs and business goals into scalable, elegant solutions.
