Senior Product Designer

About the Role

DevSavant is looking for a Senior Product Designer to take a leading role in shaping mobile-first product experiences while also contributing across web, research, and design systems.

This is a high-ownership position for a designer who can step into an unclear or complex problem, establish a direction, and carry the work through to a polished product. Beyond individual execution, you'll help influence the broader mobile design strategy and support other designers through mentorship and critique.

You'll collaborate closely with Product and Engineering, with particular attention to creating consistent, high-quality experiences across iOS and Android.

What You'll Do

• Lead complex mobile design initiatives from early problem definition through launch and iteration.
• Help establish the product and experience direction for DevSavant's mobile platform.
• Work with Product and Engineering leaders on priorities, requirements, and roadmap decisions.
• Transform loosely defined product challenges into clear UX strategies and design solutions.
• Produce user flows, wireframes, interactive prototypes, and polished interfaces.
• Design primarily for mobile while creating consistent experiences across responsive web products where required.
• Conduct user research independently, from defining research questions to gathering and interpreting feedback.
• Use research findings to validate concepts and guide product decisions.
• Collaborate with developers throughout implementation to preserve design quality across iOS and Android.
• Review shipped experiences against the original design intent and identify opportunities for improvement.
• Make meaningful contributions to the company's design system, including patterns and standards that other designers can reuse.
• Mentor designers and provide constructive feedback through critiques and design reviews.
• Help the design team explore AI-assisted workflows that can improve speed, experimentation, and quality.

Mobile Design

Strong mobile expertise is central to this position.

You should understand the differences between designing for iOS and Android, including platform conventions and native interaction patterns.

Knowledge of Apple's Human Interface Guidelines and Google's Material Design is expected, while familiarity with SwiftUI and Jetpack Compose will help you collaborate more effectively with development teams.

AI & Technical Workflows

DevSavant is also looking for a designer comfortable working closer to modern development workflows.

Experience using AI-assisted design and development tools such as Claude or GitHub Copilot is relevant, alongside familiarity with environments and tools such as Git/GitHub, VS Code, Xcode, or Android Studio.

You don't need to be an engineer, but understanding how products are built should help you make stronger design decisions and collaborate more effectively with developers.

What They're Looking For

You should bring approximately 5–7+ years of Product Design or UX/UI experience, with evidence that your responsibilities and level of ownership have increased over time.

Your portfolio should demonstrate:

• Strong mobile-first product design.
• End-to-end ownership of significant projects.
• Examples of turning ambiguous problems into shipped products.
• Clear UX and interaction-design thinking.
• High-quality visual execution.
• The impact or outcomes of your design decisions.
• Experience collaborating closely with Product and Engineering.

You'll also need strong Figma and prototyping skills, experience with responsive interfaces, solid UX writing abilities, and the confidence to communicate design rationale to senior stakeholders.

Importantly, DevSavant wants someone who can plan and conduct user research independently, rather than only consuming research produced by others.

Previous experience mentoring or guiding other designers is also expected.

Nice to Have

Additional experience that could strengthen your application includes:

• Building or scaling mobile design systems.
• Designing AI-powered products or agentic experiences.
• Understanding mobile development processes and technical constraints.
• Basic HTML, CSS, or JavaScript knowledge.
• Working with Git or command-line tools.
• GIS or map-based products.
• Interfaces involving audio, photography, or augmented reality.
• Influencing product strategy and roadmap decisions through design.

How You'll Work

This role suits a designer who is comfortable with autonomy and ambiguity and doesn't need every problem fully defined before getting started.

You'll be expected to form a point of view, communicate it clearly, challenge ideas constructively, and collaborate rather than simply execute requirements.

DevSavant is also looking for someone who actively helps improve the wider design team through mentorship, feedback, and shared standards.

The position works across distributed, cross-functional teams and requires B2–C1 English proficiency.

A portfolio with detailed case studies demonstrating your process, ownership, and product impact is required.
