Founding Product Designer
Mastra
Job Description
Mastra has a highly capable engineering team, and our pace of development has sometimes meant that design has had to catch up.
Our platform and studio have been designed mostly by our engineering team. They look pretty, but we don’t have a standardized set of interaction patterns, nor have we really ironed out these flows until they shine.
That’s your job.
What you will do
Develop a deep understanding of the Mastra framework and platform, including how different features work together and which interaction patterns best support each use case.
Watch screen recordings, talk to users, watch recordings, figure out where people are getting stuck and what's confusing for them.
Continuously research emerging interaction patterns, developer tools, and best-in-class products to inform your work.
Think from the perspective of a developer and identify the highest-impact opportunities to improve the user experience across Mastra Studio and the Mastra Cloud platform.
Work closely with the product team to understand the roadmap, clarify requirements, and address the most important user problems.
Build and maintain a robust design system in Figma, working closely with the front-end team to ensure consistency across Storybook and the implemented product.
Figure out how to simplify the Figma-to-code workflow to accelerate prototyping, and reduce the gap between design and implementation.
About you
You have at least four years of experience designing software products. Alternatively, you have a strong track record in an adjacent discipline, such as brand or web design, and have recently transitioned into product and UX design.
You have experience building and maintaining design systems. Mastra's design system is lean and lightweight, but it supports many surfaces and needs to evolve quickly.
You've worked with developer products before, and you have some understanding of the nuances of agentic products as well.
You're able to communicate and collaborate well and iterate quickly in a remote / somewhat async culture. You need to be able to propose and sometimes implement iterative fixes without stopping the world while you're figuring out the answer.
You're able to work through a problem until you've figured out all the different things that simultaneously need to be true of the solution, and craft one accordingly.
