Product Designer

Opportunity StratusGrid is building Stratusphere, an agentic platform that helps companies identify, approve, execute, and verify cloud optimization opportunities. We are looking for a Product Designer who can turn complex cloud, financial, change-management, and automation workflows into experiences that are clear, trustworthy, and easy to act on.

You will work closely with Product, Engineering, Customer Success, Cloud Optimization, and customers to understand real-world problems and design solutions that move users confidently from insight to decision to execution. Cloud optimization is not simply a reporting problem. Customers must understand recommendations, evaluate risk, coordinate approvals, execute changes safely, and verify that the intended financial outcomes were achieved. You will help define the product experience for that entire journey, and your work will directly influence customer confidence, adoption, approval velocity, time to value, and verified savings.

This is a hands-on role with meaningful influence over both the product and how our design practice evolves. You will own problems from discovery through implementation and iteration, and help establish how design operates at StratusGrid: how we conduct discovery, test ideas, use AI tools, collaborate with engineering, build reusable patterns, and measure the impact of our work.

Responsibilities

• Own End-to-End Product Experiences: Design intuitive workflows across discovery, recommendation review, approval, execution, verification, reporting, and continuous optimization, not just individual screens.
• Turn Complexity into Confident Decisions: Translate technical and financial information into clear, decision-ready experiences that help users understand what Stratusphere found, why it matters, what action is recommended, the associated risks, and what will happen next.
• Lead Customer-Centered Discovery: Partner with customers and internal teams to understand goals, pain points, approval processes, objections, and trust gaps. Use interviews, usability testing, prototypes, analytics, and field feedback to identify opportunities and validate solutions.
• Design Trustworthy AI and Automation Experiences: Define how users interact with agent-generated findings, plans, explanations, and actions. Make system reasoning, assumptions, status, human control, auditability, and rollback readiness understandable without overwhelming the user.
• Build Scalable Product Patterns: Develop and maintain reusable interaction patterns, components, information architecture, and design-system foundations that keep Stratusphere consistent and understandable as it grows.
• Carry Solutions Through Implementation: Collaborate closely with engineers from concept through launch, and use AI coding tools such as Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, or similar tools to ship prototypes, front-end refinements, design-system updates, and other well-scoped product improvements. Product Engineers will own deeper architecture and complex implementation.
• Measure and Improve Outcomes: Learn quickly through customer feedback, experimentation, and post-launch measurement to reduce friction across critical workflows, increase confidence in AI-generated recommendations and automated actions, and reduce engineering dependency for well-scoped design and front-end improvements.

Requirements

• Experience Designing Complex B2B SaaS Products: You have designed multi-step workflows for technical, operational, infrastructure, finance, security, developer, or enterprise users.
• Strong Workflow and Systems Thinking: You can make sense of role-based experiences, approvals, exceptions, dependencies, operational handoffs, and complex underlying systems.
• Customer Discovery and Product Judgment: You can conduct or contribute to interviews, usability tests, journey mapping, prototype reviews, and other discovery activities, then make thoughtful tradeoffs across customer needs, business outcomes, technical constraints, scope, speed, and quality.
• Strong Interaction Design and Information Architecture: You know how to organize complex information, reduce cognitive load, create clear navigation and interaction patterns, and produce polished flows, prototypes, wireframes, and high-fidelity designs.
• Technical Curiosity and Implementation Aptitude: You learn technical domains quickly, collaborate effectively with engineers, and are comfortable using AI-assisted development too…
