About the role

Lead Product Designer to shape project management in an AI-native YouTrack, leading a small design team, owning design quality, and building a fresh design process from scratch.

Responsibilities

  • Shape a point of view on how project management and issue tracking evolve in an AI-native world and turn those concepts into tools people can actually use.
  • Design how people work alongside AI capabilities in YouTrack, from conversational interfaces to inline assistance and background automation.
  • Develop interaction patterns for unsettled problems, including surfacing AI confidence, making actions transparent, and keeping users in control.
  • Prototype and test new concepts quickly, separating ideas that feel clever from those that genuinely reduce friction.
  • Keep a large, deep product coherent so that boards, helpdesks, reports, and administration feel like a single cohesive engine.
  • Partner with product management and engineering to shape roadmap priorities from a design perspective, influencing what gets built and why.

Qualifications

  • Successfully led the design of complex, data-rich productivity tools or software systems where information architecture is a primary challenge.
  • Proven understanding of how modern AI systems operate beyond single-turn prompts, including agentic workflows and multi-step execution.
  • Experience mentoring and leading other designers, giving clear feedback that lands and raises the bar.
  • Ability to design unified experiences that cater to small startup teams and large enterprise customers simultaneously.
  • A portfolio showing a range of work from precise micro-interactions to large-scale information architecture.
