Quick Facts

  • Role: Lead Product Designer, Mobile (iOS & Android)

Description

Lead iPhone and Android product design for an experience that works as one cohesive product across the phone and desktop (macOS, Windows, Linux). Design native mobile features that leverage platform capabilities (notifications, Live Activities/Dynamic Island, widgets, voice, Shortcuts/App Intents, system extensions) and define agent-focused interactions with clear user control. Prototype early on device using real code and coding agents, then help ship production-ready changes.

Responsibilities

  • Lead product design for iPhone and Android apps from early concept through polished, shipped detail

  • Design cross-device workflows so users can start, monitor, steer, and hand off work between phone and desktop without friction

  • Design agent background behaviors (progress visibility, respectful interruptions, and clear moments for approvals/takeover)

  • Use native platform capabilities deeply so the experience feels built for each device rather than ported

  • Build trust through permissions, approvals, and privacy flows that keep users in control

  • Prototype on device early and often using real code instead of static mocks

  • Use coding agents to implement in the production codebase and submit PRs alongside engineers

  • Keep patterns consistent across iOS, Android, and desktop while respecting each platform’s conventions

  • Explore new platform capabilities, input methods, and form factors

  • Contribute to processes that enable high-quality shipping with autonomy

Requirements

  • 5+ years of industry experience

  • Strong track record shipping native mobile apps for consumer or prosumer products

  • Deep fluency in iOS platform conventions (navigation patterns, gestures, system components, what’s new each year)

  • Working knowledge of Android and Material conventions, with judgment on what adapts vs. stays consistent

  • Experience designing products across multiple devices and integrating deeply with operating system features

  • Excellent interaction, visual, and motion skills with a sharp eye for detail in glanceable moments

  • Comfort using coding agents to prototype on device and land changes in a production codebase; familiarity with SwiftUI and Xcode to direct/review outputs

  • Systems thinking to translate complex/asynchronous behavior into simple, understandable experiences

  • Excellent communication skills to tell clear stories about design rationale

  • Strong motivation to ship great software

  • Comfort with high autonomy and ambiguity, and ability to operate as a peer lead

  • Portfolio submission with application

Benefits

  • Opportunity to shape a cross-device, agentic AI product experience grounded in native mobile platform capabilities
