Founding Product Designer

Mastra has a highly capable engineering team, and our pace of development https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/releases has sometimes meant that design has had to catch up. Our platform and studio have been designed mostly by our engineering team. They look pretty, but we don’t have a standardized set of interaction patterns, nor have we really ironed out these flows until they shine. That’s your job.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

- Develop a deep understanding of the Mastra framework and platform, including how different features work together and which interaction patterns best support each use case.

- Watch screen recordings, talk to users, watch recordings, figure out where people are getting stuck and what's confusing for them.

- Continuously research emerging interaction patterns, developer tools, and best-in-class products to inform your work.

- Think from the perspective of a developer and identify the highest-impact opportunities to improve the user experience across Mastra Studio and the Mastra Cloud platform.

- Work closely with the product team to understand the roadmap, clarify requirements, and address the most important user problems.

- Build and maintain a robust design system in Figma, working closely with the front-end team to ensure consistency across Storybook and the implemented product.

- Figure out how to simplify the Figma-to-code workflow to accelerate prototyping, and reduce the gap between design and implementation.

ABOUT YOU

- You have at least four years of experience designing software products. Alternatively, you have a strong track record in an adjacent discipline, such as brand or web design, and have recently transitioned into product and UX design.

- You have experience building and maintaining design systems. Mastra's design system is lean and lightweight, but it supports many surfaces and needs to evolve quickly.

- You've worked with developer products before, and you have some understanding of the nuances of agentic products as well.

- You're able to communicate and collaborate well and iterate quickly in a remote / somewhat async culture. You need to be able to propose and sometimes implement iterative fixes without stopping the world while you're figuring out the answer.

- You're able to work through a problem until you've figured out all the different things that simultaneously need to be true of the solution, and craft one accordingly.
