Product Designer (Boston, Ma)

Description

• Design and iterate user experiences: Create wireframes, flow diagrams, and interactive prototypes that illustrate new features and improvements. Design intuitive interfaces and interactions for both web and mobile, and refine them through user feedback to ensure a polished, best-in-class experience.
• Contribute to and evolve our design system: Help build and evolve HqO’s design system to ensure consistency and scalability across all our applications. Create reusable components, establish style guidelines, and collaborate with other designers and engineers to implement them across the product.
• Collaborate cross-functionally: Work in small, autonomous teams to brainstorm ideas, build prototypes, and iterate quickly from concept to shipped product. You’ll be involved end-to-end – from initial discovery and ideation through launch and iteration.
• Leverage modern tools and AI: Use the latest design tools and methodologies to accelerate our process. Experiment with generative design and AI-driven prototyping – including tools like Cursor and v0.dev – to quickly explore UI ideas, build prototypes, and validate concepts with users and stakeholders.
• Champion user-centric design and testing; advocate for our end users at every step. Plan and run user tests, synthesize insights, and use both qualitative and quantitative feedback to shape the product. Work closely with solution managers to help define problems, clarify requirements, and ensure we’re solving the right user needs.
• Help shape how we work: Bring new ideas for process, tools, and collaboration. Share best practices in AI-assisted design, prototyping, and front-end experimentation, and help level up the broader team.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in product, UX, or UI design, ideally in SaaS or complex digital products, with a portfolio that shows strong end-to-end product thinking and high-quality execution.
• High bar for quality and detail: you care deeply about craft – from the underlying UX flows to the microcopy, states, and visual polish that make an experience feel truly refined.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills: you’re open, low-ego, and feedback-seeking. You can clearly explain your design rationale to designers, engineers, and non-design stakeholders, and you’re comfortable presenting your work.
• Technical fluency and curiosity: you’re comfortable collaborating closely with engineers, understand how designs get built, and are excited by tools like Cursor, v0.dev, and other tools that help you move faster from idea to prototype. Front-end experience (even light) is a plus.
• Mastery of modern design and prototyping tools and a strong grasp of interaction design, information architecture, and visual design fundamentals.
• Experience with user research and testing: you know how to frame hypotheses, run usability tests or interviews, and translate findings into clear design decisions and next steps.
