You will work on complex workflows and interaction patterns within Feature Management, which is core to LaunchDarkly's platform, enabling real-time control and iteration of feature rollouts for teams of all sizes, from startups to Fortune 500 enterprises.

This role is ideal for a designer who excels at systems thinking, enjoys simplifying complexity, and is passionate about influencing a platform used by thousands of developers globally.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the design of end-to-end user experiences, from discovery through delivery and iteration, for both feature management and enterprise expansion.
  • Partner with cross-functional stakeholders to define and shape product strategy with a clear design point of view.
  • Translate complex, technical problem spaces into intuitive, testable UX patterns.
  • Conduct and apply user research, usability testing, and data insights to inform design decisions and product strategy.
  • Deliver high-quality design artifacts, including user flows, wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity visuals, balancing user needs with technical feasibility.
  • Collaborate with engineering and product partners to ensure high-quality implementation and tight iteration loops.
  • Engage in design critiques and independent reviews with other designers to maintain platform consistency and contribute to our design system.
  • Advocate for feature management and enterprise user needs in platform-wide discussions and initiatives, acting as the trusted voice of the user.
  • Mentor other designers and help elevate the standard of UX design craft and thinking.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of experience as a Product Designer, preferably in technology-forward Enterprise SaaS software.
  • Proficiency with Figma and other modern design tools.
  • A portfolio showcasing shipped work that demonstrates strong problem-solving skills, user-centered design processes, and impactful outcomes, ideally focusing on both Administrator and Developer personas.
  • While expertise in all design skills is not expected, strength in at least two or three areas is required, with competence in the remaining areas.
  • Demonstrated ability to be a lifelong learner, continuously seeking growth and improvement in your craft.
  • Capability to autonomously manage multiple, complex projects simultaneously.
  • Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal.
  • Strong storytelling and presentation skills for design work.
