Senior Product Designer-Data AI Full Description

At HackerRank, we are on a mission to change the world to value skills over pedigree. We are a high-performing, mission-driven team that truly, madly, deeply cares about what we do. We don’t see velocity and quality as tradeoffs; both matter. If you take pride in high-impact work and thrive in a driven team, HackerRank is where you belong.

This role requires 3 days per week in the office in Santa Clara, CA.

AI has upended the role of developers, impacting the skills they need, how they are hired, and the trajectory of their careers. HackerRank has already helped over 26 million developers build their skills and find jobs. Now, we are reinventing our products across the entire developer lifecycle to integrate AI and reflect the changing landscape: prepare with AI mock interviewers, get hired with AI proctors and coding assistants, and upskill with AI tutors.

Our newest business line is focused on advancing the field of software engineering itself. The AI Data team works with frontier labs to curate and annotate the data sets used to improve model performance, helping to train AI models to become better collaborators and more effective agents

We’re hiring a Product Designer to serve as the founding designer of the AI Data initiative. You will own the end-to-end experience to attract, build, and engage a network of expert AI trainers, resulting in the industry benchmark for software engineering. The right person is ready to dive deep into this new technology, is already getting comfortable vibe coding and working directly with engineers, and is hungry for immediate impact.

What You'll Do

  • Work closely with peers and leaders in Engineering and Product to conceptualize new experiences and drive their design from ideation to visual and interactive design through prototyping.
  • Test and validate ideas through interviews, prototypes, and proof of concept evaluation.
  • Collaborate with your team to prioritize and scope new investments.
  • Proactively push for top quality experiences by constantly developing your understanding of the developer market and ecosystem, competitive products, new UX paradigms.
  • Contribute to HackerRank’s design system and documentation, and work with other designers to push our design culture and standards further.
  • Partner with other designers on overlapping journeys and new ideas across the HackerRank platform.

Required Skills

We are looking for real skills, not lines on a resume or a specific number of years of experience. If you meet this description, and you can demonstrate it, we want to talk to you.

  • Professional experience demonstrating hands-on product design work that led to business impact and user delight.
  • A strong portfolio demonstrating proven capabilities in product, visual, and interactive design through case studies that show your work in different states of completeness and clearly define your impact.
  • Experience interacting with different AI models and tools and a perspective on how the space is evolving.
  • Ability to identify and advocate for quality, and the confidence to push others to hold a high bar, including peers in other domains and leadership.
  • Well-developed autonomy: showcasing the ability to act with an owner’s mindset, set and keep personal goals, navigate ambiguity, and identify new opportunities.
  • Deep collaboration skills, with the ability to pull others into creative thinking and to extend past your own comfort level to learn new skills and technical concepts.

Especially let us know if

  • You consider yourself a developer or a design-engineer, even if you got there by vibe-coding a new product on your own.
  • You’re already using AI prototyping tools and can show us how you’ve adapted your process.
  • You’ve done public speaking or shared writing about your experiences and you have examples online we can check out.
