Senior Product Designer
Job Overview At Tempo, we’re not just designing products—we’re defining the future of design engineering. Our flagship platform, Agent+, empowers the next generation of designers and developers to ship production-grade applications 10x faster. To meet the demands of our most advanced customers, we’re searching for a Senior Product Designer who thrives at the intersection of design, engineering, and influence. This role is uniquely compensated 50% above standard product design roles because we are seeking leaders: someone who brings not just skill, but authority, voice, and visibility in the design community. You’ll serve as the face of design excellence within Tempo, helping us shape client success while becoming a recognized leader in the global UI/UX and design engineering movement. What You’ll Do Lead with Influence: Own the design vision for Agent+ engagements with high-profile clients who demand exceptional UI/UX. Push Boundaries: Pioneer workflows that merge design and code, creating user-centric solutions that redefine industry standards. Be a Voice: Advocate for design engineering internally and externally; candidates with strong social media presence and thought leadership will be prioritized. Collaborate Deeply: Partner with founders, clients, and engineers to translate complex requirements into seamless design systems. Shape the Experience: Conduct research, prototype, and test iteratively to ensure elegant, intuitive outcomes. Elevate Design Culture: Champion best practices, lead internal workshops, and mentor peers on design craft and product thinking. What We’re Looking For Experience: 5+ years in product design with direct impact at venture-backed startups. Portfolio: Evidence of world-class design execution on complex software applications. Design Engineer Mindset: Not just a designer—someone who thrives at the cross-section of UI, UX, and code. Tools Mastery: Proficiency in Figma, but willingness to transfer those skills into the Tempo Environment. Communication: Clear, bold, and able to articulate decisions to both executives and engineers. English C1 or better is required. Influence: Active in the design community with a notable social following or public-facing presence (conference speaking, blogging, content creation). Bonus: Familiarity with front-end technologies (React, CSS, JavaScript) or design-to-code workflows. Why Join Us Elevated Compensation: Top-of-market pay (50% higher than typical senior design roles). Industry Leadership: Become a pioneer in the design engineering space with a platform that’s reshaping how products are built. Visibility: An opportunity to become the outward-facing design leader for a YC-backed startup. Impact: Direct influence on customer-facing experiences at a company scaling globally. Culture: Work in a collaborative, fast-moving, and innovation-driven environment.
