6sense is seeking a Product Designer III to own end-to-end design for significant product areas. This is an individual contributor role where you'll lead design on complex, ambiguous problems while partnering closely with Product and Engineering teams. You'll raise the bar for craft and process across the design team, working meaningfully with the design system and making sound design decisions independently with minimal oversight.
Key responsibilities include:
- Own the complete design process for major features or product areas, from problem framing and research through wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity UI
- Lead design on cross-functional initiatives as a peer partner with Product Management, Engineering, and Research
- Conduct and synthesize both qualitative and quantitative user research to inform design decisions
- Contribute to, extend, and enforce consistency in the design system (components, patterns, tokens)
- Prototype at varying fidelity levels to test ideas quickly and de-risk decisions before engineering investment
- Present and defend design work to stakeholders with clear rationale tied to user and business outcomes
- Give and receive design critique regularly; mentor and unblock junior designers
- Balance speed and craft, knowing when a rough prototype suffices versus when deeper exploration is needed
- Prototype with AI-assisted coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, v0, Lovable) to create working, data-connected prototypes beyond clickable mocks
- Design human-AI interaction layers: how the product surfaces confidence, uncertainty, and AI-driven suggestions while keeping users in control
- Use AI tooling within the design stack (Figma AI, generative UI, AI-assisted research synthesis) to accelerate production work without compromising originality or craft
Requirements:
- 5–7+ years of experience as a Product Designer or similar, with a strong portfolio demonstrating shipped, end-to-end product work (not just concepts)
- Deep fluency in Figma, including component/variant systems, auto-layout, and design tokens
- Demonstrated experience designing within and contributing to a design system at scale
- Strong interaction design and visual design fundamentals (typography, layout, hierarchy, motion)
- Working knowledge of accessibility standards (WCAG 2.2) and a habit of designing for accessibility by default
- Experience running and synthesizing user research and usability testing, using data to support design decisions
- Excellent written and verbal communication; ability to explain why, not just show what
- Track record of leading design work independently on ambiguous problems with limited direction
- Comfort collaborating directly with engineers on feasibility and implementation details
- Hands-on, regular use of AI-assisted coding tools to turn designs into working, data-connected prototypes
- Demonstrated experience designing interaction patterns for AI-powered or predictive features: surfacing confidence and uncertainty, giving users appropriate control, building trust in automated output
- Fluency with AI features inside the design toolchain (e.g., Figma AI, AI-assisted research synthesis) as part of everyday workflow
Nice to have:
- Experience designing for B2B SaaS or data-heavy/analytics products
- Front-end fluency beyond basics (React/JS) for close collaboration with engineering on handoff
- Prior experience mentoring designers or informally leading a small design pod
- Experience working in a company where the design system is actively evolving
