About the role

  • Factory is the team's most active initiative right now.

Responsibilities

  • Work close to engineering: contribute to implementation decisions, understand technical constraints, and stay engaged through the build, not just at handoff.
  • Ship production-quality work through multiple shipped states, iterate based on real usage, and maintain quality under delivery pressure.
  • Partner with your PM and EM on scope, sequencing, and tradeoffs. Come with a point of view and advocate for strong user experiences.
  • Ground design decisions in evidence: engineering constraints, customer feedback, analytics, and design partner signals from the Factory Alpha and Beta programs.
  • You care about what ships, not just what you design in Figma. You advocate for quality throughout and beyond release.
  • engineering constraints, customer feedback, analytics, and design partner signals from the Factory Alpha and Beta programs.
  • contributing to implementation and trade-off decisions, understanding what is hard to build, and staying engaged past the handoff.
  • Slow, inefficient development cycles, costly outages, and fragmented customer experiences are preventing developers from building their best software.

  • Real experience working alongside engineers: contributing to implementation and trade-off decisions, understanding what is hard to build, and staying engaged past the handoff.
  • Comfort with data-dense, stateful interfaces: monitoring dashboards, pipeline views, health indicators, or any surface where users need to understand the current state of a system and take action.
  • Developer user empathy: enough context to design for users whose daily tools include terminals, CI dashboards, observability systems, and pull requests.
  • History of operating as a genuine partner to PM and Eng, shaping work direction rather than waiting for requirements.
  • A portfolio that demonstrates production-quality execution at speed, engineering proximity, and at least one example of a data-dense or technically complex interface shipped to real users.
