The posting

Senior Product Designer

Help us define how AI products are built

At Vellum, we’re building the platform that lets the world’s best teams ship AI products faster and with more confidence. As a Senior Product Designer, you’ll be at the forefront of defining how humans build with AI—crafting the interfaces, workflows, and systems that make a complex new category feel simple, powerful, and intuitive.

This role is as much about understanding people as it is about designing products. You’ll spend meaningful time with customers—uncovering their needs, mapping their workflows, and distilling feedback into insights that drive the product forward. You’ll bring those insights to life through research, design, and rapid iteration—shaping experiences that solve real problems for real users.

We’re looking for someone who thrives in ambiguity, moves fast, and sweats the details without losing sight of the bigger picture. Someone who cares deeply about customer problems, and who wants to invent—not just polish—the UX patterns that will define a new category.

If you’re energized by the chance to deeply understand users and then design the future of how they build with AI, you’ll fit right in.

What you’ll do

  • Lead product discovery efforts: run interviews, synthesize insights, and validate solutions with customers.
  • Own end-to-end design for complex, technical workflows: research, ideation, prototyping, and final design.
  • Translate abstract AI concepts and customer needs into interfaces that feel clear, usable, and approachable.
  • Lead the evolution of Vellum’s design system, ensuring consistency, scalability, and speed.
  • Rapidly prototype ideas in Figma (and sometimes code), validating quickly with customers and teammates.
  • Collaborate tightly with engineers and PMs to ship high-impact features fast.
  • Continuously refine based on user feedback, data, and your instincts for great product experiences.

What success looks like

  • Customers feel understood and see Vellum as solving their real problems.
  • Insights from discovery and feedback consistently shape roadmap and design decisions.
  • Complex AI workflows feel intuitive and cohesive, even for non-technical users.
  • A robust design system accelerates development while raising the UX bar.
  • You become a trusted partner across product, design, and engineering.

What you’ll bring

  • A strong portfolio of product design work, ideally in complex technical domains (dev tools, data/infra platforms, or AI tooling a plus).
  • Experience leading discovery and usability efforts: customer interviews, prototyping, testing.
  • Deep expertise in Figma and a track record of building design systems.
  • A systems thinker’s mindset: you can zoom into pixel-level details and zoom out to big-picture flows.
  • Comfort with speed: you bias toward shipping and know how to cut the right corners without sacrificing quality.
  • Strong collaboration skills: you communicate clearly, give and receive feedback directly, and build trust quickly.
  • Hunger to win in a competitive market and the willingness to do whatever it takes.

Why you might love this

  • You want to design category-defining software that shapes how people build with AI.
  • You care about customer problems and want your work to make a real impact.
  • You’ll work alongside a high-performing engineering team eager to bring your designs to life.
  • You thrive in high-ownership, high-trust environments where you’re empowered to make big decisions.
  • You like moving fast without sacrificing craft.
  • You’re energized by big challenges and want your work to shape an industry.

Our stack

  • Design: Figma
  • Frontend: React, TypeScript, Next.js
  • Backend: Python, Django, Google Cloud Platform, k8s
  • AI & Dev Tools: We use the latest AI tools to accelerate our work everywhere we can

The Vellum way

  • Lean into the future: We embrace change, adopt new tools, and build ahead of where the puck is going.
  • Say what you mean; mean what you say: We’re direct, honest, and dependable—internally and with our customers.
  • Chase victory: We’re here to win, and we know it takes speed, sacrifice, and excellence.

Ready to build the future?

If you’re excited to invent the UX patterns for the next wave of AI development—and to help define how people build with AI—come join us.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
