About the role
As a Senior Product Designer on the Pair team, you'll help design how people collaborate and communicate during a live technical interview. You'll identify problems worth solving and design innovative, high-quality solutions that resonate with users, partnering closely with product managers and engineers through interaction and visual design.
At HackerRank, we believe the future is human plus AI. This role sits at the heart of that belief: you'll design next-gen interviewing experiences where developers showcase their skills in an AI-first world, and you'll build those designs the same way, working alongside AI agents every day.
What you will do
- Design and ship features that balance proven UI paradigms with new AI-powered interaction patterns.
- Translate design intent (layout, hierarchy, motion, interaction states, edge cases) into instructions an agent can build from, knowing when to show rather than tell.
- Iterate in tight loops: reviewing agent output critically, diagnosing why something feels off, and steering the next iteration instead of starting over.
- Build taste into the system by encoding visual and interaction standards into reusable prompts, components, and guidelines so quality compounds across the team.
- Pressure-test your ideas and refine through collaboration and research.
- Partner with engineering, product management, and design peers on both long-term strategy and short-term execution.
- Care about the full user journey: from the moment a candidate receives an invite through the interviewer's final read-out.
- Manage competing priorities and act decisively in the face of ambiguity.
- Contribute to design and product culture at HackerRank, including how the team uses agents to raise the bar.
Who you are
- 5+ years of hands-on industry experience as a product designer, with at least 3 years on fast-moving enterprise or consumer products.
- Demonstrated, hands-on fluency with agentic coding tools: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or similar. You can show real work you've built by directing agents, work that you or others actually used, and explain the prompting and iteration decisions behind it.
- A portfolio demonstrating excellent visual, UI, and interaction design, ideally including interactive or in-code work, not just static screens.
- Comfort with ambiguity, working independently or across many stakeholders, and balancing established design standards with new paradigms.
- Proven ability to ship high-quality products in a self-directed manner.
Even better if you have
- Experience designing live, real-time, or high-stakes collaborative experiences.
- The ability to build front-end and work directly in code yourself, not just direct agents.
- Experience adopting new tools fast and staying ahead of a monthly-changing agent landscape, treating that change as an advantage.
- Experience creating design systems, components, or guidelines that other designers and engineers build against.
