About the role
Spacelift is the infrastructure orchestration platform built for the modern software era, managing the full lifecycle for both traditional IaC and AI-accelerated infrastructure. It integrates with Terraform, OpenTofu, CloudFormation, Pulumi, and Ansible in a single governed workflow so you deliver secure, compliant infrastructure at scale. Developer self-service, Golden Paths with guardrails, an OPA policy engine, and drift detection accelerate developer velocity while maintaining control. Spacelift Intelligence adds AI-powered provisioning and diagnostics across traditional and AI-driven workflows. Spacelift was founded in 2020 by long-time DevOps practitioner Marcin Wyszynski and successful entrepreneur Pawel Hytry and has raised $82.3M in funding over four rounds from top venture capital firms including Insight Partners, Blossom Capital, Hoxton Ventures, Inovo Venture partners and Five Elms Capital. We are hiring a Product Designer with 2 to 5 years of experience to carry well-scoped, ongoing work on a mature product under senior review, so the senior designers can focus on the new bet. This is deliberately the first seat below Senior on
the team: a place to do real craft on a real product, with strong people to learn from, and a clear path toward Senior.
What you'll do: Own well-scoped, ongoing design work on a mature product area (likely Deploy): iterations, improvements, edge cases, polish, and consistency work, with review and direction from a Senior or Staff Designer. Turn defined problems into clear, production-ready interface designs. Strong fundamentals in interaction design, information architecture, and visual design. Share examples of this work through a portfolio or concrete work samples during the process. Contribute to research alongside a senior teammate. Run focused user interviews and usability checks. Synthesize findings with support. Use the design system fluently. Reuse what is there, flag gaps when a pattern is missing. Owning or extending the system is not your job here; that sits with the seniors. Partner with engineering and PM through implementation. Pair on edge cases. Communicate decisions with reasoning, not preference. Contribute design assets to launches and releases (in-product onboarding, release-notes visuals, announcement surfaces) with guidance. Build technical fluency. Be curious about DevOps, IaC, and the dense, technical workflows our users live in, even when it is new to you. About you: 2 to 5 years of product design experience, ideally on B2B, technical, or developer-facing products. Solid fundamentals in interaction design, information architecture, and visual design. Fluency in Figma and modern design system practice. A portfolio or work samples with concrete examples we can review, showing shipped product work, design process, interaction decisions, and visual craft. Applications without examples or a portfolio will not be considered. Reliable on ongoing, iterative work. You finish things, you sweat the details, and you keep quality consistent across a lot of small surfaces. Clear written and verbal communicator. You can explain a design decision in a couple of sentences. Open to critique and direction. You want to work under senior designers and get better fast. Curiosity about technical users and technical conversations. Comfortable using AI tools in your design workflow (ideation, exploration, basic automation) and curious about where they help. We use them daily and expect you to. Fluent English (B2+), based in Europe.
