As a Senior Product Designer, you'll own the end-to-end design of new platform capabilities, from research and ideation to polished, production-ready UI. You'll shape the user experience of a B2B SaaS platform that helps energy professionals make critical decisions. Your work will directly impact how efficiently renewable energy projects are planned and operated.

A typical day might start with a quick async stand-up with your product and engineering teams, then you'll dive into Figma to refine a prototype for a new feature.

You'll also spend time updating the design system and reviewing your own work against accessibility standards.
