Product Designer Responsibilities

Factory is looking for product designers that define how developers interact with autonomous software agents across Factory's CLI, desktop app, web platform, and integrations (Slack, Linear, IDE plugins). You'll work embedded with Engineering and Product, designing interfaces that make complex AI behavior feel simple and trustworthy.

What you will do and achieve:

  • Own end-to-end design for core product surfaces, from concept through shipped UI

  • Design workflows for the terminal UI, web app, desktop app, and IDE integrations

  • Translate complex agentic behaviors (multi-step autonomous tasks, code review, incident response) into clear, intuitive interfaces

  • Establish and evolve Factory's design system for consistency across all product surfaces

  • Conduct user research and usability testing with enterprise engineering teams

  • Collaborate directly with engineers and PMs to ship at high velocity

Qualifications

  • 4+ years product design experience (developer tools, infrastructure, or technical B2B products a bonus)

  • Strong portfolio demonstrating end-to-end product thinking — problem framing through polished, shipped work

  • Expert in Figma; mastery of design systems and component-driven workflows

  • Strong visual design and interaction design skills (typography, spacing, motion, polish)

  • Ability to work with engineers, and understand technical constraints

  • Experience using AI tools to translate designs into working frontend code: you should be comfortable using AI to bridge the gap between design and implementation

  • Bonus: experience with CLI/terminal UIs, AI-powered products

This is an in-office position (5 days/week) in San Francisco (walking distance to Caltrain)
