Product designer for electronic music

Resident Advisor helps users explore the world of electronic music, from finding their next night out and buying tickets to discovering the artists, clubs and scenes behind it. We're looking for a senior product designer to join our design team and set the design direction for our consumer products: ra.co and the RA Guide app, used by millions of ticket buyers, readers and electronic music fans annually. The role also encompasses RA PRO, our B2B offering for promoters listing events and tickets on RA.

• Lead design for Resident Advisor's consumer products end to end, across web and native app touchpoints
• Set design direction and quality standards, and partner with Product, Engineering and Data leads to shape strategy, roadmaps and prioritisation
• Mentor and coach other designers through critique, pairing and feedback, raising the bar for craft across the team
• Lead discovery activities including user research, workshops and analysis of customer feedback and data
• Work closely with engineers throughout implementation to ensure quality execution and close the gap between design and code
• Own the RA Design System: maintain, evolve and govern tokens, components and patterns so they stay consistent across Figma and code
• Structure and document the design system so developers and AI can use it reliably and efficiently
• Bring AI into the design workflow, using it for research synthesis, ideation, prototyping and production, and helping the wider team adopt it thoughtfully
• Document design decisions, patterns and best practices in a way both people and AI tools can use

• A portfolio demonstrating strong product design thinking, visual craft and impact on products shipped at scale
• 4+ years of Product Design experience, including time in a senior or lead role setting design direction for a product area
• Experience mentoring designers and influencing product and engineering stakeholders
• Hands-on experience using AI in your design practice, from ideation and prototyping to working with AI coding tools, and a considered point of view on where it helps and where it doesn't
• Deep experience building and maintaining design systems, including design tokens, component libraries and documentation, and keeping Figma and code in sync
• An understanding of what makes a design system usable by AI: structured tokens, consistent naming, well-defined component properties and clear usage guidance
• Expert UI and interaction design skills with a keen eye for detail
• A strong grasp of user-centred design and balancing user and business needs
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, and experience working in Agile product teams
• Будет плюсом: Experience designing AI-powered or personalised product experiences is a plus

• Generous annual leave policies aimed at promoting work-life balance
• Flexibility in working arrangements, offering hybrid or remote work options based on role requirements and location
• Matching pension schemes and/or 401k
• Comprehensive staff wellbeing initiatives, featuring regular activities and workplace programmes to support mental and physical health. This includes discounted ClassPass memberships and custom-fitted earplugs
• Company-led social events, team lunches, and discounts on RA merch
• Paid annual volunteering allowance, encouraging contributions to community projects and charities you care about
• Regular company-wide Q&As with senior leadership, along with ongoing virtual educational training sessions for all staff
• A transparent internal company culture committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion (see: https://ra.co/about/diversity)
• Active involvement in community projects within the electronic music community (see: https://ra.co/about/community)
