Product Designer

The magic of small teams can exist at any organization.

We started Span to address a pattern we'd all lived: as teams expand, context is buried under layers of meetings, tools, people and process. Things begin to stall in the "outer loops" like prioritization, allocation, collaboration, and management—areas where mistakes and inefficiencies are arguably more costly.

We are creating a new type of tool that delivers coherent and useful software engineering context for humans and agents alike, a tool that we believe will enable ownership, autonomy, and superhuman impact inside of an engineering organization.

We’re building a future where:

• Engineering leaders can understand their most precious resource - team time - so that they’re able to invest intentionally, root out hidden costs of toil, and unlock the true potential of their team.
• Everyone inside the organization can have an intuitive grasp of what’s happening so they’re empowered to make better decisions, operate confidently and deliver predictably.
• The hours tied up in tagging, status reporting and coordination meetings are automated away so that people spend less time on busywork and more time on the real work.
  
  

In this role you’ll:

• Lead the design of features from end-to-end
• Collaborate with Product and Engineering on product decisions and the roadmap
• Contribute to our design system to help ensure consistent style and quality standards across products
• As the second designer at Span, you'll have the opportunity to help shape the design culture
  
  

You’ll work on projects like:

• A product that leverages AI to help engineering leaders track maintenance work and recommend solutions to reduce it.
• A feature that helps engineering leaders better understand what’s going on in their organization via insights
  
  

What we're looking for:

• 4 years of experience as a product designer, with ideally 2 in B2B SaaS
• Experience working at an early stage startup
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity, making sense of complexity, and quickly turning ideas into tangible solutions
• Ability to balance moving quickly with maintaining a high bar of design quality
• Bonus points: Experience working on products for engineering teams, strong visual design chops
  
  

Backed by dozens of founders and CTOs we admire from places like Slack, Notion, Rippling, Fivetran and Coda, CPOs from places like Adobe and Square, as well as funds like Alt, BoxGroup, Bling, Craft, and SV Angel who dare to dream with us.
