Product Designer

Valis is developing an AI-powered operating layer designed to help mid-sized businesses work more intelligently.

Its platform combines shared organizational knowledge, workflow analysis, and autonomous AI agents to make company information more accessible, streamline everyday processes, and automate complex tasks.

The company is building a product that connects people, information, and AI-driven workflows in one integrated experience.

About the Role

Valis is looking for an experienced Product Designer to take ownership of its end-to-end product experience.

You'll shape how business leaders discover the platform, how administrators configure it, and how employees interact with it throughout their working day.

This is a hands-on, high-impact role combining UX research, interface design, customer journey mapping, design systems, and AI-assisted product development.

You'll work closely with engineering, product, and deployment teams to simplify complex workflows and create intuitive experiences across desktop, mobile, and administrative interfaces.

Key Responsibilities

User Experience & Customer Journey

• Map and continuously improve the journeys of company founders, executives, administrators, employees, and deployment teams.
• Participate in customer onboarding and implementation sessions to observe real-world product usage.
• Translate user feedback and behavioral observations into actionable product improvements.
• Collaborate with product and deployment teams to establish and monitor experience metrics, including activation, adoption, and time to first value.
• Identify friction points across the product and prioritize improvements based on user needs and business impact.

Product & Interface Design

• Lead UX and UI design across the desktop application, mobile experience, and administrative dashboard.
• Design workflows involving daily briefings, meeting records, calendars, conversational interfaces, and task management.
• Create seamless onboarding experiences, from installation and data integrations to a user's first meaningful interaction.
• Develop detailed prototypes, interaction specifications, and implementation-ready design documentation.
• Work closely with engineers and AI development agents to turn product concepts into functional experiences.
• Review implemented features to ensure usability, consistency, and design quality.
• Solve complex interaction challenges involving workspace switching, permissions, task completion, and product updates.

Design System Development

• Establish and maintain Valis's design system from the ground up.
• Develop reusable components, interaction patterns, and interface guidelines.
• Ensure the design system is accessible within the product codebase, not exclusively through Figma.
• Create standards that enable engineers and AI coding agents to deliver consistent experiences.
• Encourage adoption of the design system across the development team.

Product Communication

• Define how the platform communicates updates, functionality, and important information to users.
• Create clear in-app notifications, release notes, help documentation, and training materials.
• Adapt messaging for different audiences, from executive stakeholders to everyday employees.
• Help users understand new features and the practical benefits of product improvements.

Requirements

Essential Qualifications

• At least 7 years of professional product design experience.
• A minimum of 3 years independently owning the end-to-end experience of a B2B SaaS product.
• A strong portfolio demonstrating the ability to simplify complex applications, including data-intensive interfaces, administrative workflows, and desktop or mobile products.
• Advanced UX and UI capabilities, including user research, journey mapping, information architecture, interaction design, and visual design.
• Proven experience creating a design system from scratch and driving adoption among engineers.
• Experience designing onboarding journeys and in-product communications, with measurable improvements in user experience.
• Practical experience using AI tools such as Claude, Claude Code, or similar solutions for prototyping and product development.
• Ability to produce clear specifications that engineers and AI coding agents can implement.
• Confidence working independently, influencing product direction, and adapting to rapidly evolving requirements.
• Fluent English communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience designing AI-native applications, conversational assistants, autonomous agents, or generative AI interfaces.
• Ability to prototype using React, TypeScript, or other frontend technologies.
• Familiarity with GitHub and collaborative code-based design workflows.
• Experience building products for enterprise customers, including administration, security, access control, and permissions.
• Working knowledge of Russian.

Compensation & Benefits

Valis offers:

• Competitive base compensation.
• Performance-based bonus opportunities.
• The opportunity to contribute to a fast-growing AI technology company.
• Significant ownership of product design decisions.
• The chance to build and scale a design system from the ground up.
• A remote working environment with worldwide eligibility.

Why Join Valis?

This position offers the opportunity to influence an AI-native product at a foundational stage.

Rather than focusing on isolated features, you'll take responsibility for the complete user experience, from initial product discovery through everyday adoption.

You'll also help define how designers, developers, and AI coding agents collaborate to create software, making this an interesting opportunity for experienced product designers who want to work at the intersection of UX, enterprise SaaS, and artificial intelligence.
