The posting

About RA

Resident Advisor has been a home for electronic music culture since 2001. Event discovery, ticketing, news and long-form editorial, artist profiles, original films, and a weekly mix series two decades deep. Around 7 million people use the web platform every month, with a wider audience across our apps and other channels. Underneath the platform sits a network of contributors and city managers across dozens of cities, which is how we stay connected to the scenes we cover rather than reporting on them from a distance. RA is 25 years old, independent, B.Corp certified and intent on being indispensable to the artists, promoters and audiences who make this culture.

Resident Advisor helps users explore the world of electronic music, from finding their next night out and buying tickets to discovering the artists, clubs and scenes behind it.

The mandate

We're looking for a senior product designer to join our design team and set the design direction for our consumer products: ra.co and the RA Guide app, used by millions of ticket buyers, readers and electronic music fans annually. The role also encompasses RA PRO, our B2B offering for promoters listing events and tickets on RA.

You'll work closely with Product Managers, Engineers, Data, Commercial and Growth teams to design experiences that help users stay engaged with the electronic music community via RA while contributing to the future development of the platform.

This is a senior role for a designer who combines strong product thinking and exceptional craft with hands-on experience of AI-assisted design. You'll lead projects from discovery through delivery, set the standard for design quality across the team, and own the evolution of the RA Design System so it works as well for AI tools and agents as it does for designers and engineers.

Responsibilities

Product design and leadership

  • Lead design for Resident Advisor's consumer products end to end, across web and native app touchpoints.
  • Set design direction and quality standards, and partner with Product, Engineering and Data leads to shape strategy, roadmaps and prioritisation.
  • Mentor and coach other designers through critique, pairing and feedback, raising the bar for craft across the team.
  • Lead discovery activities including user research, workshops and analysis of customer feedback and data.
  • Work closely with engineers throughout implementation to ensure quality execution and close the gap between design and code.

Design systems and AI

  • Own the RA Design System: maintain, evolve and govern tokens, components and patterns so they stay consistent across Figma and code.
  • Structure and document the design system so developers and AI can use it reliably and efficiently.
  • Bring AI into the design workflow, using it for research synthesis, ideation, prototyping and production, and helping the wider team adopt it thoughtfully.
  • Document design decisions, patterns and best practices in a way both people and AI tools can use.

Who we are looking for

  • A portfolio demonstrating strong product design thinking, visual craft and impact on products shipped at scale.
  • 4+ years of Product Design experience, including time in a senior or lead role setting design direction for a product area.
  • Experience mentoring designers and influencing product and engineering stakeholders.
  • Hands-on experience using AI in your design practice, from ideation and prototyping to working with AI coding tools, and a considered point of view on where it helps and where it doesn't.
  • Deep experience building and maintaining design systems, including design tokens, component libraries and documentation, and keeping Figma and code in sync.
  • An understanding of what makes a design system usable by AI: structured tokens, consistent naming, well-defined component properties and clear usage guidance.
  • Expert UI and interaction design skills with a keen eye for detail.
  • A strong grasp of user-centred design and balancing user and business needs.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, and experience working in Agile product teams.
  • Experience designing AI-powered or personalised product experiences is a plus.

What we offer you

  • Generous annual leave policies aimed at promoting work-life balance.
  • Flexibility in working arrangements, offering hybrid or remote work options based on role requirements and location.
  • Matching pension schemes and/or 401k.
  • Comprehensive staff wellbeing initiatives, featuring regular activities and workplace programmes to support mental and physical health. This includes discounted ClassPass memberships and custom-fitted earplugs.
  • Company-led social events, team lunches, and discounts on RA merch.
  • Paid annual volunteering allowance, encouraging contributions to community projects and charities you care about.
  • Regular company-wide Q&As with senior leadership, along with ongoing virtual educational training sessions for all staff.
  • A transparent internal company culture committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion (see: https://ra.co/about/diversity).
  • Active involvement in community projects within the electronic music community (see: https://ra.co/about/community).

More about RA

We are independent and we intend to stay that way. 25 years in, RA answers to the culture it came from rather than to outside stakeholders. That is what enables us to make decisions on a long-term basis.

Our staff, contributors and international teams are not observers. They are part of the scenes we cover, and that is what we hire for. Craft first, and then a genuine stake in this music rather than just a job in it.

RA has been B Corp certified since 2024, which holds us to standards on social and environmental impact we would want to meet regardless of the badge.

We especially welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds, abilities, ethnicities, experiences, gender identities, and sexual orientations.

Our values

  • Electronic music is art.
  • We celebrate the progressive values that underpin electronic music.
  • We advocate for a more inclusive and equitable electronic music community.
  • We honour the past, present and future of electronic music.
  • We use innovation to empower the community.
  • We choose honesty over gain and purpose over profit.
  • We're always front left.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
