Senior Product Designer

Overview

Customer.io powers automated communication that people actually want to receive. We help teams send smarter, more relevant messages using real-time behavioral data.

Job Description

Hi, my name is Matt Wensing, VP Product & Design at Customer.io, and I’m looking for a Senior Product Designer to own the design of a product area end to end — from strategy through shipped pixels. We’re a lean design team working on a sophisticated B2B platform that millions of messages flow through every day.

Responsibilities

  • - Own the design of a product area end to end — strategy, flows, edge cases, and shipped quality.
  • - Design flows, not just screens — identify where users will get stuck before they do, and treat self-service (onboarding, activation, recovery) as a primary discipline.
  • - Close the gap between design and shipped product — pair with engineering during implementation, catch regressions, and contribute directly in code: Pluma components, production UI fixes, interaction prototypes.
  • - Contribute actively to Pluma, our design system — use it well, propose extensions thoughtfully, fix inconsistencies, and step into stewardship of components adjacent to your work.
  • - Develop a point of view on AI in your product area — prototype the interaction, not just the screen, and treat uncertainty, latency, and reversibility as real design factors.
  • - Partner with PM and Engineering on roadmap and tradeoffs — bring UX into the conversation early, push back when it shortchanges the user, and own the quality of your area over time.
  • - Mentor designers earlier in their career through pairing, critique, and the example set by your own work.

Required Skills

  • - 5+ years of product design experience with a portfolio demonstrating craft, ownership, and a clear point of view on shipped work.
  • - Strong flow literacy — you design end-to-end experiences across states, edge cases, and recovery paths, not isolated screens.
  • - Closes the design-to-implementation gap — partners tightly with engineering, catches regressions, and contributes directly in code.
  • - Code fluency is a real and growing expectation at this level.
  • - Experienced power user of a design system — you can describe how you’ve extended it thoughtfully, where you’ve pushed back on a pattern, and how you decide when to use a primitive vs. propose a new one.
  • - Has designed or shipped AI-involved interfaces and can talk specifically about how you handled uncertainty, latency, or reversibility — even at small scale.
  • - B2B SaaS experience with complex, data-driven interfaces — you understand systems, not just screens.
  • - Strong communication and critique skills — brings rationale to decisions, gives feedback that improves the work, and can change your mind when you find better evidence.

Benefits

  • - 100% coverage of medical, dental, vision, mental health, and supplemental insurance premiums for you and your family.
  • - 16 weeks paid parental leave.
  • - Unlimited PTO.
  • - Stipends for remote work and wellness.
  • - A professional development budget.
