## Job description

## About VSCO

For years, we've helped photographers create their work. Now we're building what comes next.

VSCO exists for photographers. Not as a side feature, not as an afterthought, but as the whole point. We build the connected system photographers rely on, and we've spent over a decade earning the trust of a global creative community that takes the craft seriously.

Photography is at an inflection point. AI is reshaping what's possible for creative work, and that's where our mission shines. VSCO is building the full photographer's workflow: from creating and editing your work, to delivering it to clients, to running your business. All of it built thoughtfully, with photographers leading the way. We believe the future of photography tools creates more space for creativity, handling the busy work so photographers can focus on the craft.

If you care about craft, community, and what technology can unlock for creative people, this is the work. We're a mission-driven and focused company where your work ships quickly, is meaningful, and reaches tens of millions of people worldwide. You'll have a real say in what we build and how we build it. We hire people who don't wait to be asked, naturally connect the dots, care about the quality of what they ship, and believe the best outcomes come from building together.

## About the Role

We're looking for a Senior Product Designer to work across our creative tool suite, designing cross-product experiences, defining interaction patterns, and building AI-powered features as core product work, not an afterthought.

This team ships. We move fast, iterate quickly, and design for one of the world's most passionate creative audiences. We're leaning hard into AI-native workflows: our designers actively use tools like Cursor, Claude, and v0 to design and prototype, and we're building agentic and generative AI features that are genuinely new territory for the product. We're looking for someone already working this way, or genuinely eager to lean in.

## What You’ll Do

- Design cross-product experiences across our creative suite, spanning discovery, growth entry points, and end-to-end journeys between products.
- Define interaction patterns and motion. Prototype at a fidelity engineers can build from without guessing.
- Design and prototype AI-powered experiences, including agentic and generative AI features, using tools like Cursor and Claude to build and explore quickly.
- Partner closely with product and engineering to shape direction, align on tradeoffs, and keep design intent tight through delivery.
- Run experiments, use results to inform decisions, and iterate without losing craft.
- Act as a thought partner to product, asking hard questions early and challenging assumptions before jumping to solutions.

## What We’re Looking For

Required

- 5+ years designing and shipping digital products end to end, concept through delivery.
- Experience designing for mobile (iOS/Android) and responsive web. Mobile-first is a must.
- AI-native mindset: you're using tools like Cursor, Claude, and v0 as part of how you design and prototype, or you're genuinely eager to learn and excited to lean in.
- Exceptionally high craft bar: polished, precise, and intentional. You raise the standard for people around you.
- Strong command of transition animations and prototyping: you design motion with purpose and produce prototypes engineers can build from.
- Experience with cross-product or platform-level design: you hold context across surfaces and design for coherence at scale.
- Experience running experiments: comfortable in an A/B testing environment, using results to inform decisions without losing craft.
- Bias toward speed and execution: you move fast, make calls with incomplete information, and don't need a perfect brief to ship.
- Deep systems thinking: you see the whole before the parts and design patterns that don't create downstream problems.
- A portfolio with high craft and evidence of how you think, not just what you shipped.

## Nice to Have

- Experience within growth design: onboarding, activation flows, upgrade moments, or product-led growth patterns
- Experience with design systems or token architecture
- Experience designing for creative tools, photography products, or creator communities
- Affinity for VSCO's mission and the photographers we serve

Job Perks

-

- Hybrid work with an office in San Francisco, CA
- Regular in-person events events to connect and collaborate
- Competitive salary & equity
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance for employees and families
- Flexible Time Off
- Company-paid parental, medical and caregiver leave
- Other perks including mental health resources and tech reimbursements

## Compensation

The base salary for this position will vary based on several factors, such as relevant experience, location and your approved internal leveling assessed during the interview process. The base salary range for this role is $190,000 - $205,000. Salary is one component of our total compensation package. This position also qualifies for equity (i.e. stock options) and is eligible for discretionary bonuses based on performance.

The benefits available for this position include flexible time off, a 401K retirement plan, insurance (medical, dental, vision, life/AD&D, short and long term disability), and 11 paid holidays. We also provide paid sick time as required by state and local law. Additional benefits and perks contained in our standard employee benefits package are also offered for this position.

Please note:

The application window for this role will be open until at least 9/15/2026. This opportunity will remain online based on business needs which may be before or after the specified date.

As part of our hiring process, we conduct pre-employment background checks in compliance with federal, state, and local laws. Employment is contingent upon the successful completion of this background check, which includes state and federal criminal records checks, sex offender registry searches, and other relevant checks as permitted by law.
