As we establish our India Engineering Center of Excellence (COE), we are looking for an experienced Associate Product Design Engineer. As an Associate Product Design Manager at Bitwarden, you will step into a leadership role that blends people management with hands-on product design. You believe security products can be both protective and genuinely delightful to use — and you want to help a team of designers bring that vision to life. You’ll support, coach, and grow a small team of product designers while continuing to contribute to the craft yourself. You’ll collaborate closely with Product Managers, Engineering leads, and cross-functional partners to shape the overall design direction across the Bitwarden platform.

This is a rare opportunity for an experienced IC designer ready to take their first step into formal people management — without fully stepping away from the work they love. Bitwarden is an all-remote team.

## RESPONSIBILITIES

- Manage, mentor, and grow a small team of product designers — running 1:1s, supporting career development, and fostering a culture of craft and collaboration
- Partner with product managers and engineering leads to set design priorities, align roadmaps, and advocate for the user experience across the Bitwarden platform
- Contribute directly to select initiatives — creating user flows, wireframes, high-fidelity mockups, and prototypes as needed
- Facilitate design critiques and review sessions, helping the team produce consistent, high-quality, and accessible work
- Facilitate user research and testing practices — helping the team plan and execute feedback cycles that inform design decisions with evidence
- Drive cross-functional alignment by clearly communicating design rationale to a diverse stakeholder audience, including leadership
- Identify and implement process improvements that increase design team effectiveness, quality, and velocity
- Uphold and evolve Bitwarden’s design system and standards across desktop, mobile (iOS & Android), web, and browser extension

## WHAT YOU BRING TO BITWARDEN

- 3–5 years of experience in product design, with at least some informal experience leading, mentoring, or coordinating the work of other designers
- A portfolio that demonstrates strong UI craft, systems thinking, and the ability to solve complex UX problems across platforms
- Proficiency in Figma and familiarity with other design and developer tools (e.g., Claude, Loveable, Replit, ChatGPT, V0, Adobe, GitHub)
- Experience planning and facilitating user research, testing sessions, and design critiques
- Ability to communicate design decisions with clarity — through sketches, wireframes, mockups, prototypes, and in conversation with stakeholders
- A collaborative and adaptable mindset, comfortable navigating ambiguity and prioritizing across competing demands
- Strong verbal and written communication skills paired with openness and authenticity — you give and receive feedback well
- The desire to grow as a manager: you’re energized by helping others do their best work, not just doing it yourself
- Excitement and enthusiasm for open source software and better internet security

## NICE-TO-HAVE

- Experience in a player-coach or tech lead role on a design team
- Startup or fast-growth company experience
- Familiarity with WCAG accessibility guidelines
- Experience designing for security-focused applications
- Experience designing for both B2C and B2B customers
- Cross-platform design experience (desktop, mobile, web, browser extension)
- Front-end development experience or strong familiarity with engineering practices
