# Senior Product Designer at Plain

- **Company:** Plain
- **Location:** United Kingdom
- **Compensation:** £75k–£130k
- **Employment:** full-time
- **Work type:** remote
- **Posted:** 2025-12-09
- **Last confirmed live:** 2026-09-08
- **Apply:** https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/plain/4c7be946-dba7-4862-b0fb-4cf448139259

## Job description

Plain is redefining customer support for the next generation of B2B companies. We’re building the fastest, most powerful platform to help companies move beyond reactive support and build true customer relationships.

Some of the world’s most forward-thinking companies - like Cursor, Raycast, and Granola - trust Plain to unify all customer interactions, enable faster team collaboration, and supercharge their workflows with AI.

B2B customer support is undergoing a seismic shift. AI is transforming the way companies engage with customers, shifting support from a siloed function to a company-wide effort across Slack, Discord, and any other channel you talk to customers in. The old way - slow, manual, and disconnected - no longer works.

We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer to join our team and help us define the next phase of support tooling.

## WHAT YOU'LL DO

Design at Plain is about a lot more than pushing pixels in Figma, it’s about defining what support tooling should be. You’ll own problems end to end – from talking to customers, and coming up with new ideas all the way to tweaking animation easing curves in the front end.

You will:

- Work on everything from early feature ideation, designing, and shipping a feature through to building and launching a landing page to announce it to the world.
- Work closely with the entire team, as well as our customers – in sketches and prototypes, Figma mocks and PRs on Github. You’ll get into the weeds and measure your designs on what is shipped, not what’s in Figma.
- Help set the roadmap and priorities with the rest of the team. You’ll be the wide-angle lens of the team, interpreting customer feedback and your own experiences and gut and translating this into a coherent product vision.
- You will define the design system that powers Plain. From iconography to colors and design tokens and components, you will make sure that Plain’s UI is built as a cohesive system.
- You will iterate and work on design in the open and create a culture where anyone feels comfortable pitching product and UI ideas.

This is a role for a senior or staff-level product designer.

You should have a proven track record working for product-led companies, ideally in B2B SaaS, be as excited about UI details as you are about customer conversations, and be driven by impact above all.

## THIS IS A GREAT FIT IF YOU…

- Feel comfortable taking ownership in ambiguity. You should be happy with a bit of chaos and adrenaline that comes from being in a fast-moving product team.
- Want to be involved in every aspect of a new feature from planning and scoping right through to designing, building and sharing the story behind the work as it launches.
- Love working on intricate, complex UI and sweating the details.
- Are comfortable with HTML, CSS, and React. We don’t expect you to be an expert, but you should see code as a tool in your toolkit, feel comfortable opening PRs, and be able to work in close collaboration with engineers
- Prefer working in the open and default to sharing early and often. You seek input from the team vs iterating on your own and presenting only your final design.

THIS WON'T BE THE RIGHT ROLE IF YOU…

- Are uncomfortable with ambiguity. We have some really exciting traction but are still at an early stage and are constantly learning and trying new things as our company grows.
- Are looking to manage others. We're firmly looking for someone who, for now, wants to be an individual contributor.
- Want a pure design role - you’ll be wearing many hats and get involved in all aspects of building a product and company.
- Want a traditional product team set up, with a predictable roadmap, clearly scoped out tickets, a PM, and so forth
- Expect all the perks of a big company. We’re a Series A startup and are competitive in what we offer at our stage, but it’s a different role and opportunity than working at an established tech company.

## About Plain

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Plain is an AI-powered customer support platform for B2B companies, providing a unified workspace with AI agents, workflow automation, and deep integrations across channels.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series A)
- **Headquarters**: London, United Kingdom
- **Founded**: 2020
- **Founders**: Matt Vagni (Co-Founder & CTO); other co-founder name(s) not publicly confirmed.

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Customer Support Infrastructure / AI / SaaS
- **Target customers**: B2B companies, especially technology and service organizations (customers include Cursor, Sanity, Granola)
- **Mission**: “Help people solve problems together” (careers page)

## Products & Services
- **Ari (Assistant)**: AI agent that triages, researches, and resolves requests using team knowledge.
- **Sidekick**: AI assistant for agents to draft replies and find answers within customer context.
- **Workflows**: No-code/all-code automation for routing, notifications, actions in external systems (Linear, PagerDuty, custom APIs).
- **Channels**: Unified inbox connecting Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, email, chat, portal, and more.
- **API & Extensibility**: Every part of the platform can be extended, customized, or embedded into own product/tooling.
- **Insights**: Real-time aggregated and automated insights from support data to spot trends, churn risks, and upsell opportunities.
- **Ask AI**: Self-service AI for customers.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: Not disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Total funding of **$20.5M** (Seed round $6M in Nov 2022, Series A $14.5M in Feb 2025)
- **Notable Investors**: Index Ventures, Battery Ventures, Connect Ventures (careers page); Seed investors include 9 unnamed participants (CB Insights)
- **Growth Signals**: 
  - 41 employees (+85.2% YoY, +23 people)
  - 79 active job postings (monthly job posting growth +33.9%)
  - Revenue of $1M (LinkedIn annual revenue estimate)
  - Expanding across 10 countries (UK, US, Portugal, Germany, Poland, Ireland, etc.)

## Competitive Advantages
- **AI-first infrastructure**: Run multiple AI agents alongside human teammates; agents coordinate and stay under human control.
- **Open & extensible**: Fully API-driven, allowing teams to build custom workflows and integrate any external system.
- **Channel-agnostic**: Native support for Slack, Teams, Discord, email, chat — consolidating fragmented B2B support in one place.
- **Enterprise-level security**: Security treated as a core engineering principle, not just a checklist.
- **Automated insights**: Turns support conversations into actionable product and business intelligence.

## Strategic Focus
- Scaling the platform as the “support backbone” for ambitious B2B companies.
- Deepening AI agent capabilities (e.g., Ari) and workflow automation.
- Expanding go-to-market with dedicated Account Executive, SDR, and Partnerships hires.
- Maintaining an intentionally small, product-centric team that ships features rapidly.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: “Intentionally small, entrepreneurial and product-centric team” – engineers speak to customers daily and ship features from idea to shipped in the same day.
- **Interview process**: Clear, human, and transparent – designed to be fast and fair (intro call → technical interview → product sense call with hiring manager).
- **Compensation**: Competitive salaries (e.g. Senior Product Engineer: £90k–£140k + options; Support Engineer SF: $150k–$180k + options). Generous equity options.
- **Remote/hybrid**: Remote-first for Europe-based roles; San Francisco roles are office-based (with hybrid expectations).
- **Backing**: Backed by top-tier VCs (Index, Battery, Connect) and a network of founders/operators.
- **Perks**: Fast decision-making, ownership across the company, real impact on product direction.
