About the job
ABOUT FACTORY
Our mission is to create a world where software builds and improves itself.
We build the platform for self-improving software development, helping the world's largest enterprise engineering teams turn their organizations into autonomous software factories. Customers including Nvidia, Blackstone, Royal Bank of Canada (RBC), Palo Alto Networks, Adobe, and T-Mobile run Factory to ship code, review PRs, run tests, and deploy continuously - getting smarter with every cycle.
In 2026, we raised $200M at a $5B valuation, bringing our total funding to over $400M. We are backed by world-class investors and operators including Khosla Ventures, Sequoia, Blackstone, Ali Ghodsi (CEO of Databricks), and Frank Slootman (Former CEO of Snowflake).
ABOUT THE ROLE
Factory is looking for product designers that define how developers interact with autonomous software agents across Factory's CLI, desktop app, web platform, and integrations (Slack, Linear, IDE plugins). You'll work embedded with Engineering and Product, designing interfaces that make complex AI behavior feel simple and trustworthy.
WHAT YOU WILL DO AND ACHIEVE
- Own end-to-end design for core product surfaces, from concept through shipped UI
- Design workflows for the terminal UI, web app, desktop app, and IDE integrations
- Translate complex agentic behaviors (multi-step autonomous tasks, code review, incident response) into clear, intuitive interfaces
- Establish and evolve Factory's design system for consistency across all product surfaces
- Conduct user research and usability testing with enterprise engineering teams
- Collaborate directly with engineers and PMs to ship at high velocity
QUALIFICATIONS
- 4+ years product design experience (developer tools, infrastructure, or technical B2B products a bonus)
- Strong portfolio demonstrating end-to-end product thinking — problem framing through polished, shipped work
- Expert in Figma; mastery of design systems and component-driven workflows
- Strong visual design and interaction design skills (typography, spacing, motion, polish)
- Ability to work with engineers, and understand technical constraints
- Experience using AI tools to translate designs into working frontend code: you should be comfortable using AI to bridge the gap between design and implementation
- Bonus: experience with CLI/terminal UIs, AI-powered products
This is an in-office position (5 days/week) in San Francisco (walking distance to Caltrain)
