Staff Product Designer, MarianaOS at Mariana Minerals | LAYIQ

We're optimizing for five things, roughly in this priority order: Simplifying complexity.
The single most important skill. Show us you can take a complicated product or dataset and turn it into something clear. That matters more than visual polish or raw technical depth.
Complex product experience.
You've designed for a real, non-trivial product and can walk us through the hard tradeoffs you made. Experience designing for technical, operational, or data-heavy products (vs. consumer apps) is important. Showing the ability to distill complex problems into a clear story of what the user is doing and why and how they get to the end goal.
Opinionated visual design direction.
Brings a real perspective on what great visual design looks like; we don’t want middle of the road SaaS visual design. We want future looking visual design which reflects our vision to modernize mining. We need to do this in a way which doesn’t compromise usability in a way which impacts outcomes.
Collaborative, cross-functional instinct.
You're energized by sitting with PMs and engineers to work through a problem together, not just receiving a brief. We need someone whose design judgment the team learns to trust quickly.
AI fluency and adaptability.
The classic mock-first design process (discovery, mocks, iterate) doesn't fit how software gets built anymore, especially at a company where engineers, and increasingly customers and internal users via tools like Replit and other AI builders, can go from idea to working software in hours. We want someone who already uses AI tools (Claude Code, Cursor, v0, or similar) as part of how they work, prototypes in code rather than only in Figma, and adapts their process readily rather than defending a fixed one. This person should be comfortable designing in the open: shaping something as it's being built and used, rather than fully specifying it up front.
Given how much AI has scrambled the shape of design/product/engineering roles in the last couple of years, we're open to unconventional backgrounds: a UX designer, a design-minded product builder, or an engineer who loves design and wants to focus on prototyping and systems. What matters is demonstrated judgment on complex problems, not the job title on a past resume.
Our culture is built on four principles: Everyone Gets Home Safe.
We never put speed or cost ahead of people.
Extreme Ownership.
We take full responsibility for outcomes, relentlessly driving toward solutions.
Engineer Out Requirements, then Automate.
We simplify, optimize, and then automate for scale.
Share Your Legos.
We collaborate openly, share knowledge, and empower each other to build bigger, better solutions.
Join us as we build the future of responsible mineral sourcing and supply!
