The Role

Air is looking for a Senior Product Designer to lead the creation of exceptional, user-centered experiences across mobile and web. You’ll be the bridge between vision and execution - working ahead of engineering to translate ambiguous problems into clear, intuitive designs that scale across platforms. By owning the product design process end-to-end, you’ll unlock faster decision-making, reduce bottlenecks, and ensure our product keeps pace with the demands of multiple platforms. Your work will not only elevate our design quality and consistency but also empower the team to take quick, strategic bets that drive measurable impact for our customers and the business.

Core Responsibilities

End-to-End Design Execution

• Lead the full design lifecycle from discovery through polished delivery, across mobile apps and desktop.
• Deliver best-in-class UX and UI that feel native to each platform.

• Set a high bar for design quality, accessibility, and platform consistency.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner closely with engineering to ensure designs are technically feasible across mobile and web.
• Clearly communicate design rationale to stakeholders and balance business goals with user needs.

• 5+ years of professional experience in product design, with a strong portfolio showcasing shipped, high-impact digital products (ideally at consumer-app heavy businesses or high-growth SaaS companies).
• Proven ability to design for both web and mobile platforms, with deep knowledge of mobile UI patterns and constraints (iOS and/or Android).
• Strong interaction and visual design skills, including creating intuitive flows, polished UI, and accessible, scalable design systems.
• Proficiency with modern design and prototyping tools. Figma mastery is a must.
• Experience working closely with product managers and engineers from concept through delivery, balancing user needs with business goals.
• Ability to use data and research to inform design decisions, and to iterate quickly based on feedback.
