About the role
Midjourney is an independent research lab exploring new mediums of thought and expanding the imaginative powers of the human species. We are a small, self-funded team focused on design, human infrastructure, and AI.
We're looking for a senior product designer who's spent years building software. You'll design core product experiences across web and mobile, working directly with engineers and researchers from the earliest stages of a project through launch.
What you'll do
Own major product surfaces end-to-end: concept, flows, interaction, visual polish, ship
Invent interaction paradigms for things that haven't existed before and make those new paradigms legible and fun
Use research, experimentation, analytics, and user feedback to understand what people need and where products can improve.
Prototype constantly, in Figma and in code — tools like Claude and Cursor should be part of your workflow
Partner directly with engineering and research to refine interactions, iterate quickly, and ship high-quality work.
You might be a fit if
You've spent the last decade designing software people love to use.
You're comfortable moving between interaction design, visual design, and product thinking.
You enjoy working closely with engineers.
You agree that good work often emerges out of many rounds of iteration. You explore wildly, are always ready to kill your darlings, and rework ideas until something clicks and feels correct.
You'd rather prototype than make a presentation.
Work > ego
Logistics
Full-time. Ideally San Francisco or New York, but PST/EST hours ok.
Compensation: $200,000–$285,000 + benefits
To apply
A portfolio is required. We care much more about what you've made than where you've worked; if this sounds like you, apply even if you don't check every box.
