About the RoleCantina is looking for a Senior Visual Product Designer with exceptional craft in typography, layout, color, and motion. You'll design polished, high-fidelity interfaces across mobile and desktop, and you'll be a core builder of the design system that keeps our product consistent as it grows.
You'll join a small design team and work closely with its leads, product designers, engineers, and PMs. This is a hands-on craft role. You'll spend most of your time designing and building, not managing process. We're looking for someone with an art director's eye and a systems mindset: you've helped build the foundations of a platform, not just designed features on top of one.
What You'll Do- Design high-fidelity, polished interfaces across mobile and desktop (iOS, Android, & Web) with exacting attention to typography, spacing, hierarchy, color, and motion.
- Build and evolve our design system: tokens, components, and patterns that help the team move fast and stay consistent.
- Partner with other product designers, engineers, and product managers to bring visual craft to every feature, from concept to shipped detail.
- Raise the visual quality of the product through your own work and through thoughtful critique of the work around you.
- Prototype and iterate quickly, refining based on how people actually use the product.
- Help shape our design culture and processes as the product and team scale.
What You'll Bring- 6-8 years of experience in interactive art direction or visual product design, with a portfolio of shipped, consumer-facing work.
- Exceptional visual craft in typography, spacing, layout, color, and overall look and feel that comes through in your portfolio.
- Hands-on experience building a design system or the visual foundations of a large platform: tokens, components, and the rules behind them.
- A systems mindset: you design reusable components and rules, with clear reasoning behind them. Translate the brand team's identity work into product UI: type, color, iconography, illustration, and motion that feel like Cantina.
- Strong prototyping and tooling skills (such as Figma) and comfort iterating quickly based on feedback.
- Confidence working with many stakeholders with a clear point of view, openness to feedback, and high quality at speed.
- Comfort with ambiguity and working live with cross-functional partners.
- Bonus: experience with generative AI products or video, media, or creation tools.
