At HackerRank, we are on a mission to change the world to value skills over pedigree. We are a high-performing, mission-driven team that truly, madly, deeply cares about what we do. We don’t see velocity and quality as tradeoffs; both matter. If you take pride in high-impact work and thrive in a driven team, HackerRank is where you belong.

About the team:

Designers at HackerRank are members of a strong and growing creative group, while also collaborating closely with their peers in Product and Engineering within their dedicated team. This position is embedded within the SkillUp team, helping developers grow their skills and demonstrate new capabilities to stay competitive in a rapidly evolving landscape. How might AI tutors and integrated learning make it engaging and fun for developers to adopt and demonstrate Next Generation skills? How can we help leaders find and fill skill gaps on their team, and highlight top performers? The role of a developer is changing, and this team is helping to make that transformation feel empowering.

About the role:

As a Senior Product Designer, you’ll take ownership over the end-to-end experience of your product area, identifying problems worth solving and designing innovative, high-quality solutions that resonate with users. You’ll collaborate closely with product managers, analysts, and engineers, and own design throughout the product development lifecycle from ideation and conceptualization all the way through interaction and visual design.

At HackerRank, we believe the future is human plus AI. You’ll blend a solid grasp of fundamental UI paradigms with innovative AI-powered capabilities. This role specifically focuses on the HackerRank Community, helping developers showcase their skills, find jobs that resonate, and prepare for the interview process. Experience working with developer environments and AI-powered code editors is a plus.

What you’ll do:
  • Design and ship features that balance UI best practices within AI-powered experiences.
  • Proactively research and prototype your ideas, including comfort in adopting new tools that shorten the time between concept and delivery.
  • Stay current on best-in-class developer experiences.
  • Work independently and strategically to identify problems worth solving and design solutions that users love.
  • Partner closely with engineering, product management, AI research, and design peers to define both long-term strategy and short-term tactics.
  • Deeply care about the full user experience, from the moment they touch the product through related journeys.
  • Manage competing priorities and act on decisions in the face of ambiguity.
  • Contribute to the overall design and product culture at HackerRank. 
You will thrive in this role if:
  • As a Product Designer at HackerRank, you take great care in your work and strive to push the boundary on user experience, UI paradigms, and user love.
  • With a rich portfolio and years of experience, you know what quality looks like and how to achieve it.
  • You’ve worked on consumer or prosumer products and understand how a small micro-interaction or personalized moment can drive deeper engagement and growth.
  • Every detail matters, and you aren’t shy to share and help lift the bar for everyone.
What you bring:
  • 5+ years of hands-on industry experience as a product designer
  • A portfolio demonstrating excellent visual, UI, and interactive skills
  • Comfortable with prototyping or coding your ideas. Experience working with AI-powered IDEs like Cursor or Bolt is a plus
  • Excellent communication skills including spoken and written English
  • Comfort working with ambiguous problems, independently or with multiple stakeholders, and the ability to balance existing design standards with new AI paradigms
  • Proven ability to ship high-quality products in a self-directed manner
