## About the role

As a Principal Product Designer at PermitFlow, you are the most senior individual contributor on the design team. You set the vision and the craft bar for our most complex, highest-leverage product surfaces, and you raise the ceiling for what design at PermitFlow can be. This is a hands-on role: you'll go deep on the hardest problems in construction permitting, and your influence felt in the quality of the product and in the impact of the designers around you.

## What they're looking for

- All applications must link to or include a portfolio. We want to see a track record of leading high-craft, complex products from concept through launch, with clear evidence of design decisions you drove and their impact
- 10+ years designing dense B2B software, with deep experience in workflow-heavy products and real complexity
- A demonstrated ability to operate as a force multiplier: elevating the work of other designers, defining what great looks like, and bringing structure to problem spaces that do not yet have any
- Strong systems thinking paired with exceptional interaction and visual craft. You sweat the details just as well as you guide strategy
- Experience designing AI-powered or highly technical products, or a clear point of view on how to make AI legible, trustworthy, and controllable for users
- High tolerance for ambiguity. We are moving fast, and our design, product, and engineering processes are constantly in flux. We want someone who thrives in that and helps improve it
