This role involves owning design for strategic initiatives within a product area, encompassing web and mobile experiences from problem framing to launch and iteration. The position requires leading ambiguous projects, engaging with customers, and leveraging AI tools, with a minimum of 8 years of experience in product design and a strong portfolio. Candidates should also have experience mentoring designers and conducting customer research.
As a Lead Product Designer at Samsara, you'll own design for strategic initiatives within one of our product areas, building software that runs in the cab, the yard, the job site, and the dispatch floor, built with the people who use it. You'll frame the problem, design and build the experience across web and mobile, and carry it through launch and iteration with your product and engineering partners. You'll also engage directly with customers, bringing their feedback into your process throughout.
This is a remote role open to candidates residing in Canada.
In this role, you will:
- Lead large, ambiguous initiatives, from problem framing through launch and iteration.
- Demonstrate good judgement and taste in your deliverables
- Regularly meet and engage with our most strategic customers to bring the customer voice alongside product data into product decisions.
- Leverage AI tools through every step of the process, defining new ways of working.
- Stay well informed on the emerging trends, tools, and technology
- Ship code to production across our design system, web products, and mobile apps
- Lead through building, not politics.
Minimum requirements for the role:
- 8+ years of product design experience designing UX/UI for web and mobile applications.
- A portfolio with case studies that show how you approached an ambiguous, multi-part problem and what happened after you shipped. We cannot consider applications without a portfolio at this time.
- Deep interaction and visual design skills, with the judgment to know when to use an established pattern and when to invent one.
- AI tools in your regular design practice (e.g., Cursor, Figma Make), with shipped work you can attribute to them.
- Experience mentoring designers, formally or informally.
- Direct customer research experience, and comfort using it to make product decisions.
- Experience shipping with cross-functional teams on short cycles.
