- Collaborate closely with Engineering and Product to shape direction, define requirements, and ship high-quality experiences.
- Create polished flows, prototypes, high-fidelity designs, interaction patterns, and production-ready specs, defining systems for continuous design-to-code workflows.
- Elevate design craft through strong information architecture, visual design, interaction design, UX writing, accessibility, and edge-case thinking.
- Utilize customer conversations, usability testing, analytics, and support feedback to identify friction and improve the user experience.
- Contribute to Runpod’s design system to enhance product consistency, scalability, and distinctiveness.

- Strong product judgment, balancing user needs, technical constraints, speed, quality, and business impact.
- Excellent visual and interaction design skills, with keen attention to hierarchy, layout, typography, spacing, states, flows, and microinteractions.
- Experience collaborating closely with engineers and product managers to ship technically complex products.
- Ability to understand workflows involving APIs, infrastructure, cloud platforms, deployment, observability, usage-based pricing, or AI/ML systems.
