Job description

We're looking for a detail-oriented, systems-minded Senior Product Designer to own the experience of Coder Agents. With Coder Agents, developers hand off work to AI coding agents running on their company's own infrastructure. The goal is to make powerful, complex agent workflows feel simple and intuitive, and enjoyable to use. You'll partner closely with the Agents PM and engineering team to take the product from early and capable to mature and loved, and to shape how developers will work with agents day to day. You'll lead end-to-end design across discovery, ideation and delivery, and help turn a powerful, complex product into an intuitive, low-friction experience.

What you’ll do here

  • Own end-to-end design for Coder Agents, from research and discovery to shipped UI

  • Design the core user flows: delegating a task, steering an agent while it works and reviewing its output

  • Design the admin setup experience (models, templates and integrations) so platform teams can roll Agents out with confidence

  • Explore designs for developers, less technical users (PMs, designers, business users) and non-human identities.

  • create a vision for the Agents experience and help steer the team

  • Fit Agents into how developers work, and help decide where Agents shows up beyond the web UI (IDE, App integrations, Desktop, Mobile)

  • Shape information architecture as Agents grows: chat types, projects, sharing and multi-panel layouts

  • Think in systems: build consistent interaction patterns for agent states, long-running tasks, errors and trust signals that hold up as the product grows

  • Facilitate ideation and story-mapping workshops with PM and Engineering

  • Prototype quickly, test with real users, and use what you learn to improve the experience

  • Evolve Coder's design system as Agents adds new patterns

What we’re looking for

  • 5+ years of end-to-end product design for complex software, with a portfolio that shows both systems thinking and strong visual and interaction craft

  • Excellent UI and interaction craft, with a portfolio that shows polish and attention to detail

  • Able to take ambiguous, fast-moving problems and turn them into clear flows and shippable decisions

  • Proactive and independent, with strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset

  • A systems thinker who turns complex problems into simple, scalable solutions

  • A deep interest in how developers think, work, and adopt agentic tools

  • Comfortable with using AI tools in your own design process.

Bonus tacos if you have

  • Worked on AI or agent products before (chat interfaces, copilots, autonomous or long-running task UIs)

  • Designed developer tools, IDEs, CLIs or platform and admin consoles

  • Experience designing for enterprise or regulated environments (permissions, governance, auditability)

  • Experience with accessibility/WCAG standards

Interview process 

We believe that the interview process should be transparent, consistent, and enjoyable. We value your time and hope to complete the interview process in two to four weeks, if schedules allow. Through your interviews, you will meet a mix of individual contributors, managers, and senior leaders.

AI use during the interview process

As an AI company, Coder embraces the use of AI tools, and we want to be transparent about our expectations as you navigate our interview process.

Not permitted: Using AI assistance during conversational interviews.

Permitted: Using AI tooling for take-home assessments. Please flag where and to what extent it was used in your take-home. Your submission will not be penalized for using AI as long as it is done honestly.

Our use of AI in hiring

We use AI tools to help manage our recruitment process efficiently and fairly. Specifically:

  • Ashby and Brainerr help us review inbound applications by surfacing candidates who best match the role requirements we've defined. This tool does not make hiring decisions; it helps our team prioritize which applications to review first.

  • Granola takes notes during our interview calls so our team can focus on the conversation with you.

All hiring decisions are made by humans. Our team reviews applications, conducts interviews, and makes final selections. AI tools assist us but never replace human judgment, and these practices are conducted in compliance with applicable data protection, AI governance, and labor laws. Your data is not used to train AI models.

In accordance with New York City Local Law 144, an independent bias audit has been conducted on "Automated Employment Decision Tools"; results are available for Ashby.

If you're applying for a role at Coder and have questions about how we use AI in our process, or if you'd like to request information about the data we collect, please contact careers@coder.com.
