Product Designer

We're looking for a Product Designer to shape Restate's core product experience.

This role covers both, the core Restate UI with the design system behind it and the visual work that makes durable execution understandable to developers.

You'll work directly with the engineers who build the product and with the wider founding team.

Why Restate

Durable runtimes are becoming the next foundational infrastructure layer, especially for AI. Restate’s vision is to make durable execution efficient and lightweight to run.

Restate is built by a team of world-class engineers - the creators of Apache Flink, leaders from Meta's messaging infrastructure, and senior engineers from AWS and Confluent.

AI-native companies like Replit as well as Fortune 500 enterprises rely on Restate in production for their core applications.

With a fresh $20M Series A fundraise by top tier investors and strong traction, we’re just getting started and are looking for people who share our vision and work ethos.

The profile

We're looking for a product designer with strong opinions and a portfolio that backs them up, covering both halves: complex product work you've designed, and visual work that explains something technical. You should be comfortable operating with significant autonomy, working directly with the founding team, and pushing back when the team is wrong.

You don't have to write production code. You do have to understand what you're designing for well enough to have the argument with an engineer and sometimes win it.
