About the role
This is not a traditional design role. You won't wait for specs or polish someone else's ideas. You'll define what we build, why it matters, and how it comes to life, owning the product experience end-to-end and setting the standard for design across Range. This is a building role. You understand the user's problem, you prototype fast, you ship, sometimes the same day. Your work doesn't live in a deck. It lives in production. Design at Range is AI-first and builder-led. You'll use tools like Lovable and Claude to prototype and iterate rapidly, reducing handoff friction and getting ideas in front of customers faster. You bring validated concepts back into Figma for full state coverage, system alignment, and production readiness, forcing yourself to think through every component and interaction. Our design system is evolving, and having someone who can own its direction and architecture is critical. Your designs and flows will be how this company makes strategic decisions. When you put something visual in front of the team, we move. Designers at Range are catalysts, creating momentum and moving ideas forward. We think big, but we ship small and incrementally. You'll operate as a design leader across pods and product surfaces, setting the bar for quality, speed, and product thinking at the organizational level. We're looking for someone who raises the bar for everyone around them. The standard you bring should push the entire company, across design, product, and engineering, to operate at a higher level.
Responsibilities
- Own the product experience end-to-end, from shaping ambiguous problems to shipping high-quality solutions and iterating in production.
- Act as a core product partner, shaping direction with PM and engineering, influencing what gets built (not just how), and driving clarity in ambiguous spaces.
- Set design direction across multiple product surfaces, ensuring coherence, quality, and a unified member experience as the product scales.
- Prototype rapidly using AI tools: Use Lovable and Claude to build, test, and iterate on flows and interfaces. Guide structure, behavior, and UX quality while AI accelerates your output.
- Bring work into Figma: Translate validated concepts into Figma for full state coverage, component definition, and production readiness. This is where you think through every state, edge case, and interaction pattern.
- Own and evolve the design system: Define component architecture, interaction patterns, and design principles. Manage and oversee organized design files and workspaces.
- Design for the 80/20: Encode judgment and complexity under the hood while keeping the default experience simple and delightful for members.
- Be a visual catalyst to drive momentum. Use prototypes, visuals, and product intuition to unblock decisions and move the team forward.
- Influence product strategy at the leadership level, shaping roadmaps and helping the organization think about what to build next, not just how to build it.
- Mentor and grow other designers, elevating their craft, judgment, and ability to operate independently.
Requirements
- A builder. You move from problem to prototype to product in production quickly. You don't wait for perfect clarity. You create it, lead, and help unblock your team.
- A visual designer , not just a UX designer. You care about craft at the pixel level. Typography, color, spacing, motion. Your work has a distinct point of view and a level of polish that elevates the entire product.
- A systems thinker. You sweat the details without losing the big picture. You can zoom from system-level thinking down to a single interaction, and both hold up. You design for the whole ecosystem, not just the screen in front of you.
- AI-native. You're already using AI every day, not as a toy, but as core infrastructure. You see it as the thing that turns one designer int
