## About the role

We’re looking for a Product Designer to define the next generation of Kobalt’s product and brand. Kobalt has grown quickly into a broad platform used across risk and compliance teams at financial institutions. As the product expands, we need a stronger design system behind it: one that can make complex workflows intuitive, establish consistent patterns across the platform, and give our team a foundation to build on as we grow.

## What they're looking for

- 4+ years of experience designing and shipping software products, ideally complex B2B or enterprise applications
- Exceptional systems thinking. You can reason about information architecture, interaction patterns, states, and reusable primitives—not just individual screens
- A strong portfolio of product work that demonstrates both visual craft and thoughtful interaction design
- Experience building or meaningfully contributing to a design system across a growing product
- Comfortable working directly in code and using modern AI-assisted development tools to build and iterate on web experiences
