Senior Product Designer | Kimchi

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Senior Product Designer | Kimchi based in Spain. This is an opportunity to join a small, senior design team shaping a fast-moving B2B platform built for engineers and technical teams working with AI-assisted software development. You will own complex product problems across coding agents, developer tooling, desktop experiences, and infrastructure and spend management interfaces. The role combines end-to-end product design, independent user research, product strategy, and hands‑on prototyping. You will work closely with engineers and other designers, bringing a strong point of view while navigating ambiguity and technical constraints. AI-assisted development is an important part of the workflow, with opportunities to prototype directly in code rather than relying solely on traditional design tools. In a remote‑first international environment, your work will directly influence how technical teams build, manage, and scale AI‑powered development workflows. Accountabilities
* Own product problems end-to-end across CLI, desktop applications, inference and spend consoles, and developer tooling, from initial research through shipped designs and measurable outcomes.
* Lead user research independently by planning studies, conducting research, synthesising findings, and translating insights into recommendations for product direction.
* Prototype directly in code when appropriate, using AI‑assisted development workflows to test and validate ideas within the product.
* Contribute a clear point of view to product strategy discussions, supported by product usage, research evidence, competitive awareness, and an understanding of user needs.
* Collaborate with engineers and other designers to develop solutions that balance user experience, technical constraints, architecture, and business objectives.
* Participate in cross‑team design reviews to identify overlap, maintain consistency, raise the quality bar, and stay aligned with broader product initiatives.
* Monitor design debt within your area and advocate for improvements when usability risks, technical constraints, or user feedback make them a priority.
* Communicate design decisions and research findings clearly through concise documentation and effective collaboration across a distributed organization. Requirements
* Senior‑level product design experience demonstrated through a strong portfolio or case studies focused on developer tools, AI/LLM products, coding agents, or other technical and data‑heavy SaaS platforms.
* Proven ability to own user research end-to-end and use research findings to influence product direction rather than simply contributing to studies led by others.
* Hands‑on experience with AI‑assisted development workflows such as Claude Code, Cursor, or similar tools, combined with genuine interest in working directly with code and the product.
* Strong ability to form, communicate, and defend design decisions in ambiguous environments without relying on predefined processes.
* Experience designing for technical or engineering‑focused users, with the confidence to discuss APIs, architecture, system constraints, and technical trade‑offs with engineers.
* Strong asynchronous communication skills, including the ability to create concise documentation and make compelling cases through writing.
* Experience working independently across the full product design lifecycle, from research and discovery through prototyping, delivery, and measuring outcomes.
* Nice to have: experience designing CLI or terminal‑based interfaces, familiarity with desktop applications, or experience presenting design and research findings to executive stakeholders.
* Strong curiosity, ownership, and willingness to work hands‑on in a fast‑moving product environment. Benefits
* Competitive salary of €4,500-€7,000 gross per month, depending on experience.
* Flexible, remote‑first working environment.
* Equity options.
* Fast‑paced workflow with most feature projects completed within 1-4 weeks.
* 10% of work time dedicated to personal projects or self‑improvement.
* Learning and development budget covering professional and personal development, including international conferences and courses.
* Annual hackathon focused on innovation and team collaboration.
* Team‑building budget and company events.
* Equipment budget to support an effective remote workspace.
* Extra days off to support work‑life balance.
* Opportunity to work with a global team of cloud and technology specialists on AI‑powered developer products. #J-18808-Ljbffr
