Product Designer

Personal, different, and kind. That’s the essence of Teamtailor. And that’s how we try to make recruiting a joy by giving

companies tools that help them attract and hire the right talent. We believe in providing a caring candidate experience that helps

people find their dream jobs. Today, that leads to more than 90,000 people being hired through the Teamtailor platform every

month.

We believe AI is changing what it means to be a product designer, for the better. When AI handles more of the production work,

designers get to go deeper in both directions: further into the product, working in real code in the real app instead of handing

off static mockups, and closer to the users, with more time for research and testing. That’s the kind of designer role we’re

building at Teamtailor, and we’re looking for two to three designers to help us shape it.

We’re looking for someone who’s been designing digital products long enough to have strong craft, strong opinions, and taste you

trust. Someone who geeks out about interaction details, design systems, and prototyping tools, but cares even more about whether

recruiters and candidates actually have a better day because of what you shipped.

We use Shape Up: six-week cycles with real autonomy, followed by a two-week cooldown split between Innovation Week (experiments

and learning) and Improvement Week (polish and maintenance). No sprints, no standups, no story points. You can read more in our

post Building Teamtailor — How We Work in the Product Team.

Every cycle, you’ll team up with a developer and take full ownership of a project. It’s a tight partnership, heavily assisted by

AI: together you take a shaped pitch and turn it into a shipped feature, making all the design and scope decisions along the way.

The shorter the distance between an idea and the shipped product, the better the product gets. That’s why the whole journey lives

inside one pair.

That means your role is broader than a traditional product design role. You’ll do research and talk to users to understand the

problem. You’ll design flows and interfaces with the care and simplicity our product is known for. And you won’t stop at

prototypes: together with your developer and with AI as your pair, you’ll implement your designs in the actual medium. Real code,

shipped to real users. Design decisions get made where they belong, in the product itself. You’ll also help maintain and evolve

our design system as the product grows.

We’re also hoping you’ll be someone who’s genuinely enthusiastic about how design itself is evolving. Someone who’s curious, keeps

learning, and naturally shares what they discover with others. If you’d describe yourself as a design engineer, or you’re a

designer heading that way, you’ll feel at home here.

• Strong UI and interaction design skills. You sweat the details: empty states, edge cases, motion, accessibility, and everything

else in the last 20%

1. Submit your application with work you’re proud of: a portfolio, things you’ve built that real people used, a personal site, a

prototype with a point of view. No cover letter required 🍰

5. A working session with one of our designers where you’ll pair on a real problem, from sketching an idea to building it with AI
