Job Description

About CodeRabbit

CodeRabbit is the leading AI code review platform, trusted by more than 17,000 customers and 150,000 open-source projects, conducting over 2 million code reviews each week. We build the symbiotic partnership between developers and AI that makes shipping fast software safe again, reviewing every pull request, IDE change, and CLI commit so teams can move quickly without breaking things.

 

We are a fast-moving, well-funded company, fresh off a $143M Series C at a $1.5B valuation — building Agentic Change Management, the control layer for software changes created by humans and agents. As AI writes more of the world's code, the bottleneck moves from implementation to judgment and helping human judgment scale is exactly the problem we exist to solve.

About the role

Design at CodeRabbit sits at the intersection of craft, developer empathy, and deep technical complexity. As our Product Designer, you will shape how millions of developers experience AI-powered code review across IDEs, Git platforms, the CLI, and the web — surfaces with few established conventions, where the right interaction pattern hasn’t been invented yet.

Our work decides whether CodeRabbit feels like noise or like a trusted teammate: whether a developer trusts an AI-generated suggestion enough to merge it, or scrolls past it. We care deeply about the details that make an interface feel polished and trustworthy — the pixels, the motion, the copy, the edge cases — and we ship fast and learn in the open.

This is a high-ownership role for a designer who is exceptional at visual and interaction design. You will own design strategy and the design system across our product suite, set the bar for craft, and build a team of exceptional designers around you.

What you’ll do

  • Own end-to-end design. Drive the full process — from research and information architecture through high-fidelity visual design and sometimes implementation — for our AI code review platform.

  • Craft beautiful, trustworthy interfaces. Design polished, delightful UI that makes complex code analysis feel effortless and earns developers’ trust in AI-generated suggestions.

  • Set the interaction standard. Define interaction patterns, micro-interactions, and motion for emerging AI experiences — real-time review, conversational feedback, and agentic workflows — that feel native to how developers work.

  • Build and scale our design system. Create and maintain a comprehensive, scalable design system spanning Web, IDE extensions, Git platforms, and CLI surfaces.

  • Make complex data legible. Design clear visualizations and information architecture for code quality metrics, dependency graphs, and AI-generated insights.

  • Partner cross-functionally. Collaborate closely with engineering, product, and AI teams to define product vision, strategy, and roadmap, and to ship high-quality work in a fast-paced environment.

  • Stay close to the model. Design for where AI capabilities are heading, not just what they can do today, and prototype rapidly to communicate concepts and build excitement.

  • Raise the team’s craft. Establish design best practices, and elevate quality and consistency across broader product flows.

What we’re looking for

  • Exceptional visual and interaction design. You are highly proficient in both — a master of typography, layout, color, hierarchy, and motion, with an instinct for the interaction details that make a product feel alive and trustworthy. This is the core of the role.

  • You ship fast and elevate craft. You would rather get something in front of users this week than perfect it for a month, and you find ways to maintain care for the details while moving quickly.

  • You’re AI-native in how you work. You already use AI tools to extend what you can build and see AI as a creative partner in your own practice.

  • You’re rethinking the basics. Many UI primitives were designed for a different era; you’re excited to question assumptions and invent patterns native to AI and developer tools.

  • You lead through craft and collaboration. You communicate design decisions clearly, influence without authority, and lift the work of those around you.

You may be a good fit if you have

  • 2–5+ years of product design experience, with a strong portfolio showcasing polished UI craftsmanship and innovative interaction design.

  • A proven track record of shipping complex technical products end-to-end in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.

  • Experience creating and maintaining scalable design systems across multiple platforms.

  • Mastery of modern design tools (e.g., Figma) and comfortable at prototyping with front-end code (HTML/CSS/JS) preferred.

  • Excellent collaboration and communication skills across cross-functional teams.

Nice to have

  • Experience at developer-focused companies (e.g., GitHub, Postman, Hasura).

  • A background in or strong understanding of software development and Git workflows.

  • Experience designing IDE extensions, AI/ML-powered interfaces, or motion design and micro-interactions.

  • Contributions to open-source design systems.

What we offer

  • The chance to define the design language for a category-defining AI product used by millions of developers.

  • A collaborative, high-velocity environment working alongside strong engineers and AI researchers.

  • Competitive salary, meaningful equity, and benefits.

  • Professional development and the resources to do the best work of your career.
