We are committed to making Recraft an essential, daily tool for every designer and setting the industry standard. Our mission is to ensure that creators can fully control their creative process with AI, providing them with innovative tools to turn ideas into reality.

About the Role
Recraft builds a professional-grade design tool used by designers and creative teams around the world. We’re looking for a Senior or Staff Product Designer to independently own key areas of the product, raise the bar on visual and interaction design, and work hand-in-hand with engineers from early concept through to shipped features. This is a hands-on, high-craft role for someone who enjoys designing at a granular level — the kind of detail that makes a professional tool feel effortless for power users.
Key Responsibilities
Independently drive design projects end to end — from research and concept through to launch and iteration.
Design interfaces for a professional creative tool with a high level of detail, considering the nuances that matter most to power users.
Work closely with engineers throughout the process, including prototyping ideas quickly using code and AI-assisted tools (“vibe-coding”).
Present and advocate for your design decisions clearly and persuasively, across design, engineering and leadership.
Stay adaptable in a fast-moving environment where the product — and sometimes your own recent work — can change quickly based on what we learn.
What We’re Looking For
Substantial experience in product design at a senior or staff level, with a track record of independently owning and driving projects.
An exceptional eye for visual design and craft, with genuine attention to detail.
Strong, balanced skills across both UX and UI — equally comfortable with structure and polish.
Comfort working at the intersection of design and engineering, including prototyping with code or AI tools regardless of your current skill level.
Excellent communication skills and the ability to explain and sell your design thinking to different audiences.
Nice to Have
Experience designing professional tools or software for power users.
A native or near-native English speaker, adding linguistic and cultural diversity to the design team.
What We Offer
Competitive compensation in line with market rates for senior/staff-level talent.
A structured performance review process to support your development and career growth.Performance-based bonuses tied to your impact and the company’s results.
The opportunity to shape a category-defining product and set the design bar for a fast-growing team.
A high level of ownership and autonomy over your area of the product.
Close collaboration with founders and leadership — your work and voice will carry real weight.
A flexible, hybrid-friendly setup within the UK.
A high-craft, low-bureaucracy culture where good design decisions move fast.
We’re able to offer Skilled Worker visa sponsorship in the UK for qualified candidates.
