Staff Product Designer, Frame.io

The opportunity

Frame.io, an Adobe Company, is changing the future of how creative work gets done by helping over 1 million creative professionals seamlessly collaborate from all over the world. We have built a product creatives recognize and love through constant innovation and incredible attention to detail.

We're looking for a Staff Product Designer to help shape the future of creative collaboration at a pivotal moment. Creative workflows and tools are rapidly evolving with the advent of generative AI and new technologies like Frame.io’s Camera to Cloud. You'll be at the forefront of this transformation—defining unique experiences and pioneering new patterns that shape how millions of creatives work. You'll tackle some of our most complex and ambiguous product challenges, set the bar for craft excellence, and work as a strategic thought partner to product and engineering leadership in this exciting, fast-paced space.

This is a role for an accomplished designer who combines strategic product thinking with exceptional craft. You'll be equally comfortable defining long-term product vision, diving deep into interaction details, and mentoring other designers to elevate their work. You should possess mastery-level design skills, a track record of shipping high-impact products, and an unwavering commitment to elegance and quality. Your work will inspire the team and delight millions of users worldwide.

What you’ll do

• Own end-to-end design for strategic, high-impact initiatives. You'll navigate ambiguity, define design strategy through rapid prototyping and validation, and execute with exceptional craft—from early concepts through implementation and post-launch iteration.
• Set the standard for design excellence. Champion exceptional craft across visual design, interaction design, and product thinking. Your work will serve as a benchmark for the team and ensure every experience reflects Frame.io's commitment to fluidity, elegance, and detail.
• Prototype, prototype, prototype. Our team leans heavily on prototyping to explore, communicate, iterate and validate. You’ll use the latest tools like Cursor, Figma, and more to create compelling prototypes that validate designs through experiences that can be felt and used.
• Partner with product and engineering to shape product direction and build strong cross-functional relationships. Identify opportunities, define compelling visions, facilitate alignment on complex problems, and influence decisions through exceptional design work.
• Stay ahead of creative technology trends. Immerse yourself in emerging tools, generative AI, and new creative workflows. Identify opportunities for Frame.io and incorporate cutting-edge patterns to keep us at the forefront of our category.
• Mentor designers across the organization. Provide thoughtful feedback in design critiques, model best practices through your work, and help others grow their craft and product thinking.

What you’ll need to succeed

• 8+ years of product design experience with a proven track record shipping high-quality digital products at companies known for design excellence.
• Exceptional craft in visual design, interaction design, and prototyping. You create high-fidelity prototypes with the latest tools and have impeccable aesthetic judgment with obsessive attention to detail. Your work sets the bar and inspires others to push further.
• Strategic product thinking with strong systems design skills. You navigate ambiguity, can understand complex workflows, and design for holistic experiences beyond individual features. You balance user needs, business goals, and technical constraints while ensuring your work is grounded in real customer insights.
• Outstanding communication and storytelling. You articulate design thinking clearly, build compelling narratives, and influence stakeholders at all levels with confidence.
• Proven ability to build strong partnerships with product managers, engineers, researchers, and designers. You create alignment through collaboration and have working knowledge of technical constraints.
• Experience mentoring designers and elevating others' craft. You provide thoughtful feedback, model best practices, and lead through example and influence.
• Genuine curiosity about emerging creative tools and technologies. You stay current with innovations in generative AI and creative production tools, and understand how technology is reshaping creative work.
• A portfolio that itself demonstrates exceptional craft and attention to detail. Both the work shown and how you present it should showcase mastery—we look for elegant problem-solving, high-quality execution, and portfolios that reflect the same level of care and polish you bring to product work.

Preferred Accessibility Design Skills:

• Experience designing accessible and inclusive interfaces for people with disabilities.
• Understanding of applying WCAG conformance criteria in design, specifically testing comps, wireframes, and prototypes for accessibility standards.
• Accessibility certifications CPACC, WAS, CPWA, or ADS from the IAAP are preferred.
