Product Designer, AI Native UX

About the Role

CloudZero is growing fast. Our customer base is expanding, the problems we're solving are getting more complex, and the product team is scaling to match. As a Product Designer on our team, you'll work on meaningful problems from concept to execution, partnering closely with product and engineering to bring ideas to life in a fast-moving, highly collaborative environment.

This is real product design work at real scale, not a handoff role or a pixel-pushing job. You'll own end-to-end UX across web-based products, move quickly from idea to prototype, and use AI as a true accelerator for thinking and execution, not just output generation. Design is deeply integrated into how we build and ship at CloudZero, and this role is a direct reflection of that. Success here looks like delivering high quality work quickly and consistently, contributing to shipped product and not just design artifacts, and demonstrating increasing ownership and impact over time.

If you take pride in the craft of design, thrive in fast-moving environments, and want to see your work matter to customers in direct and measurable ways, this role was built for you.
