How will you make an impact?

We are looking for a (Senior) Product Designer who will be working on the end-to-end product design process.

As a Senior Product Designer at Hygraph, you will be a key actor in realising our vision of the next step in CMS evolution - an agentic content platform. You will report to the Head of Product and work closely with the Creative Director to share ideas and knowledge.

What you will be working on

• Partner with Product and Engineering teams to define problem statements, conduct user research and shape both long-term vision and immediate tactical goals on the Product Design front.

• Execute the full product design spectrum, spanning early-stage discovery and wire-framing through to final, production-grade UI.

• Make key decisions in Hygraph’s next functional and visual steps towards the agentic content platform vision.

• Champion design excellence through regular reviews with leadership and the broader product team.

• Use AI tools to speed up the design process—using LLMs to summarize research and generative tools for rapid wireframing and early-stage exploration.

Requirements

Our expectations from you

• 5+ years of experience at high-growth startups, specifically designing B2B SaaS products.

• Expertise in the full design stack, with a proven track record in UI, UX, advanced prototyping, and user research.

• Extensive experience as an individual contributor, with the ability to work autonomously and take full accountability for complex projects.

• Ability to navigate the startup design role: push for excellence, but prioritise shipping fast iterations to learn quickly.

• High proficiency with design and prototyping tools and having a decent understanding of front-end implementation (you don’t have to code, but it helps in collaborating with the engineers).

• Keen to learn and always being up-to-date with the latest improvements in technology.

• Ability to leverage AI tools to accelerate the design lifecycle

• Familiarity with Headless CMS and designing API-led products is a plus

• Previous experience with designing AI features is a plus

The Process

• Intro call with People Team

• Interview with Hiring Manager

• Live Session/Case study with team

• Call with C-Level Executive

• Team Fit call and reference check

• Job offer.

The response time after application, screening applications, and setting up the first intro call is usually within 1-2 weeks. You could expect some alterations when necessary.
