This Product Designer role focuses on bridging the gap between field and office workers within a fast-growing restoration SaaS platform. You will lead research-driven design initiatives by identifying problems independently and conducting onsite investigations to create cohesive user experiences.

Key Responsibilities

  • Identify and pitch product problems for investigation before they are assigned
  • Conduct end-to-end research including scheduling and interviewing and synthesizing findings
  • Use AI tools to test concepts early and accelerate the research process
  • Create fast and rough prototypes using code or design tools before finalizing in Figma
  • Collaborate daily within a cross-functional team including engineering and sales
  • Travel roughly one to two days per month for team meetings and customer visits

Requirements Snapshot

  • Three to six years of experience designing digital products
  • Professional fluency in both German and English at a C1 level
  • Proven ability to conduct independent research and find signals without guidance
  • High proficiency in using AI for research and rapid prototyping
  • Residency in Germany with a willingness for light travel

Expected Impact

You will bridge the communication gap between on-site workers and office managers by creating a unified data experience. Your proactive research and rapid prototyping will ensure the platform evolves based on real-world field insights rather than simple feature requests.

Job Description

Product Designer — Bridging Field, Office, and Product

In restoration, the same job data passes through very different hands: someone on-site documenting damage, someone in the office managing the paperwork, someone leading the project and juggling both. They rarely see things the same way — and that's the gap you'll be designing for, on a fast-growing SaaS platform used by field professionals around the world.This role is built around research, not requests. You'll identify what's worth investigating, go run it yourself — onsite, in person — and turn what you learn into something that holds up across every type of user, not a one-off screen.

Location: anywhere in GermanyTravel: light — roughly 1–2 days a month for team days, HQ visits, or customer visitsLanguages: German and English, both C1

Core of the role:You spot problems before they're handed to you, pitch them, and get the green light to investigateYou run the research yourself — scheduling, interviewing, synthesizing — using AI tools to test your thinking early and move faster through the noiseYou prototype fast and rough — often by vibe-coding a version to click through — before anything touches FigmaYou sit inside one cross-functional team day to day (product, engineering, QA, sales, marketing), with the broader design group as where you sharpen your craft and grow

What we're after:3–6 years designing digital productsComfortable putting unfinished work in front of people early, before it feels readyA self-starter on research — you go find the signal, you don't wait for itGenuinely fluent working alongside AI — for research, prototyping, and exploring ideas quickly. We care more about how naturally you use it than one polished AI feature on your résuméSomeone who commits to a single strong recommendation rather than presenting a menu of optionsNice to have: experience designing for conflicting user groups, owning a design system, or shipping prototypes you coded yourself (Cursor, Claude Code, v0, etc.)
