A Senior Product Designer plays an integral role in the performance and operation of a product squad at Avail. You will partner directly with your Product Manager and engineers from start to finish: initial research and understanding of user problems, scoping, creation of user journeys, and polished pixels shipped to the landlords and renters who use Avail every day.
Product Designers should be comfortable performing most duties throughout the full design process of a product or feature their squad is shipping. You will have stronger skills in some areas than others (stronger visual chops than research prowess, for example), and that's fine. What matters is that you want to keep learning. You will need to work closely with your Product Manager and engineers to provide quick, iterative design solutions through the full product lifecycle, from ideation and just enough research to polished pixels. You will be the primary designer on your squad. Senior design resources will be assigned as mentors to help you grow, collaborate with you, and push your craft forward.
Avail is a SaaS platform built for independent landlords managing 1 to 10 units and their renters. We offer a full-service product suite covering listings, tenant screening, leasing, rent collection, and maintenance, with corollary products serving the renter side of the marketplace. You will be designing for both sides of the landlord-renter relationship, balancing distinct needs within a connected experience.
This role is embedded on a cross-functional product squad alongside engineers and a Product Manager. You are peers, not a support function. You will bring a design perspective to squad rituals, planning, and problem-solving from day one, not just execute on specs handed to you. The squad discovers, defines, and delivers solutions together, and you will have real ownership over the design direction for your area of the product.
