Senior Product Designer

Senior Product Designer Graphite builds high-quality tools for modern software engineering teams, so they can ship faster and create amazing products. Our product Graphite is modern code review for fast-moving teams - we help engineers write better pull requests, review and leave more actionable feedback on code changes, stay unblocked, and ship faster. We started Graphite because we missed internal code review tools like Phabricator (at Facebook) and Critique (Google) that help engineers create, approve, and ship incremental changes. We want to make well-designed, high-quality developer tooling accessible to everyone. Our company Graphite is defining the future of code review and how high-quality software is built. We believe great craft emerges through collaboration. That principle drives everything we build and the way we work. If you’re excited about this next era of software development, there’s no better moment to do the most impactful work of your career. Our culture centers on putting people first, applying science and craft, practicing disciplined ambition, and giving ownership - both literally (with equity) and in the responsibility and scope you’ll have as a part of our early team. Outside of work you’ll find us brewing espresso drinks, producing music, or practicing yoga. We can’t wait to see what you’ll add to the mix!
