About the role

Build production-quality components and interactions across WorkOS products Prototype concepts, build new products, and experiment with new interaction patterns

What they're looking for

  • You have an eye for design details, care deeply about craft, and have a history of shipping polished products
  • You can articulate why you made a design decision, not just what you made. You think through alternatives, weigh tradeoffs, and consider how your choices affect the entire product
  • You account for real-world complexity — edge cases, error and empty states, accessibility, and technical constraints — without letting process slow you down. You ship, learn, and iterate
  • You’re equally comfortable in code as you are in Figma/Paper and work across tools to refine your explorations, while also being excited to explore new tools and workflows and share what you learn with the team
  • You work AI-first and have refined how you do it, are able to achieve high-quality output, and share your workflows with others
  • You spot design gaps across the product and fix them without waiting to be asked. You default to showing work early, sharing prototypes in the open, and pulling in others to get to the right solution faster
