Senior Product Designer - Click UI

ClickHouse is one of the fastest-growing databases in the world, and our design team is at an inflection point. As we expand into new solution areas, we’re looking for a designer who codes. You’ll own the design side of Click UI, ClickHouse’s open source design system. As a member of a solution-oriented product team, you’ll see those system-level design decisions through to end users. If you think of design systems as a way to bake good design into technical products, fix bugs yourself instead of filing tickets, and use AI to stay ahead of the curve, we’d love to hear from you.

What You Will Be Doing

• Own the design system in Figma and the design decisions that determine how components look and feel across the ClickHouse ecosystem.
• Work directly with contributors and consumers of Click UI to improve the system and drive adoption of new and existing components.
• Communicate designs through wireframes, prototypes, and visual mockups, iterating quickly on feedback.
• Partner closely with a product team, including product managers and engineers, as a trusted, embedded collaborator rather than a separate creative function.
• Use AI tools to accelerate your workflow, automate repetitive tasks, and improve both code and design quality.
• Contribute to design feedback sessions with internal and external stakeholders to validate assumptions.
• Advocate for product quality and user experience, even when you have to create the guardrails yourself.

What You Bring Along

• Strong visual design fundamentals and experience building and maintaining a design system.
• Proven experience designing for complex software applications, ideally in B2B SaaS or developer tools.
• Advanced proficiency in Figma, including components, prototyping, and design systems.
• Frontend engineering skills: you write CSS, React, and TypeScript, and you’re comfortable in a real codebase.
• Experience owning products end to end, working directly with developers and product managers.
• Enthusiasm for AI tools and an active practice of using them in design, engineering, workflows, or all of the above.
• Energy for the startup pace, including the ambiguity and shifting priorities that come with scaling a company with as much potential as ClickHouse.
• Preferred: Experience owning multi-brand design systems or the same design system across multiple tech stacks; experience designing IDEs, data products, or other technical developer tooling.
• Preferred: Familiarity with AI-assisted design or engineering workflows (Cursor, Copilot, Figma MCP, v0, etc.), open source contributions or an active GitHub presence, and experience in a fast-moving, globally distributed startup.
