At Homebase, compensation is based on role level, skills, and performance. During the interview process, we evaluate experience, scope, and impact to determine the appropriate level for the role, which maps to a defined salary range. Posted ranges reflect the expected starting range for the role, and offers are made within that range, with flexibility based on experience, market context, and leveling. As impact grows, so does compensation over time. Job Description: Hi, Future Homie! At Homebase, you’ll join a team that’s bold, fast-moving, and obsessed with helping small businesses thrive. We build with empathy, act with urgency, and take big swings that drive real-world impact. Here, every Homie shows up to raise the bar, support one another, and celebrate wins as a team. We’re not just building an app—we’re building unstoppable teams. So what do you say, are you in? 📍Your Impact Starts Here We're looking for a Senior Product Designer, Foundations who thrives at the intersection of systems thinking and product craft. You'll be a design partner for our foundations team—shaping foundational experiences that every user touches, but few teams own: authentication, billing, permissions, compliance, and more—across iOS, Android, and web. You'll work closely with our design manager, Principal Designer (Design Systems), our UX Engineer, and multiple Product Managers across surfaces—contributing to the design system while also owning end-to-end design for critical platform experiences. This is a role with real range: one week you might be adding components to our system alongside the Principal Designer, the next you're redesigning our billing flow with a PM to reduce churn, then you're collaborating on a compliance experience. This role requires strong mobile (native) design experience and high craft quality. We’re looking for designers who can create polished, intuitive experiences on iOS and/or Android—not just adapt web patterns to mobile. These are some of the most important experiences in the product. Moments like billing, authentication, and permissions are where users build trust—or lose it. Your work will directly shape how reliable, clear, and polished Homebase feels every day. Trust, clarity, and polish in these moments are what separate products people tolerate from products people love. This role is ideal for a designer with high visual craft across native and web, and who's ready to deepen their skills across both systems and product work, who loves to learn and build across a variety of product surfaces, who's energized by improving foundational experiences, and who wants meaningful ownership without needing to build everything from scratch alone. - Partner on design system evolution: Work alongside our Principal Designer (Design Systems) and UX Engineer to contribute components, patterns, and documentation—helping the system scale with quality as our product suite grows. Use AI tools to accelerate design exploration, iteration, and quality—while applying strong judgment to ensure output meets a high craft bar. - Tackle platform experiences end-to-end: Design for critical horizontal surfaces—auth flows, billing & subscriptions, account settings, permissions, team management, and compliance touchpoints—with a strong emphasis on native mobile experiences (iOS and Android), ensuring patterns feel intuitive, polished, and platform-appropriate. You'll partner with PMs across these areas to ship work that matters. - Turn "necessary" into "delightful": Transform utilitarian platform experiences into moments that reinforce trust and reflect our brand. Billing emails, password resets, error states—these are design opportunities, not afterthoughts. - Lead with mobile craft: Bring a high bar for interaction design and visual polish on native platforms, ensuring experiences feel intentional—not generic or pattern-default. - Bridge design and engineering: Partner closely with platform engineers and our UX Engineer, using prototypes and specs to validate decisions and ensure implementation matches intent. - Be the connective tissue: Work across product teams to ensure platform experiences feel cohesive across all surfaces and that your design system contributions serve real needs—not hypothetical ones. - Flex where the team needs you: Platform work is varied by nature. You'll shift between beautiful UI design, systems contributions, and product work based on what's highest impact, embracing the breadth rather than resisting it. - Grow your craft and influence: This role offers real opportunity to deepen your skills in both systematic design thinking and end-to-end product ownership, with mentorship from senior design leadership. The Foundation for Success - These are the experiences and strengths that will set you up for success in this role: - 4–7 years designing digital products, with demonstrated strength in visual/interaction design and growing systems thinking. You're building toward mastery of both. - Exposure to design systems: You've contributed to design systems—building components, using tokens, writing documentation, or collaborating closely with a systems team. You understand the tradeoffs between flexibility and consistency. - Platform or infrastructure design experience (a plus): You've designed for auth, billing, settings, admin tools, or other "horizontal" product areas—or you're excited to dive into this space. - Technical curiosity: You can collaborate effectively with engineers. Whether that means understanding constraints, prototyping with real interactions in Figma, or reviewing implementations—you bridge the gap. - Exceptional craft: Your work demonstrates a high level of polish—strong typography, spacing, hierarchy, and interaction design. You care deeply about the details that make products feel great. - Comfort with range and context-switching: You enjoy moving between different types of problems—system work, product design, and UI refinement—and can maintain quality across all of them. - Clear communication: You can articulate design rationale, give and receive feedback gracefully, and document your decisions for teammates present and future. - Cross-platform design chops: Your portfolio includes iOS, Android, and web work. You know when to honor platform conventions and when to unify for brand consistency. This role requires Strong native mobile experience. Your portfolio includes high-quality work on iOS and/or Android. You understand platform conventions and design interactions that feel polished, intuitive, and intentional. - AI fluency: You actively use AI tools in your design workflow (e.g., for exploration, iteration, or production). You’re curious, experimental, and energized by how AI can improve speed and quality. - Bonus points if you bring: - Experience at high-growth startups where you've worn multiple hats - Background in fintech, HR tech, or B2B SaaS with complex permissioning - Familiarity with accessibility standards and inclusive design practices - Experience designing for compliance contexts (SOC 2, GDPR, etc.) - Comfort with or curiosity about front-end technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) The Homie Way - These principles guide everything we do—from how we work and make decisions to how we show up for each other. - Be Customer Obsessed – Solve problems with empathy and creativity. - Move Fast, Learn Fast – Experiment, take action, and grow every day. - Own Your Impact – Think big, focus on what matters, and make decisions you stand behind. - Master Your Craft – Excellence fuels impact—show up, step up, and make your mark. - Win Together – Put goals over roles, lead with trust, and connect to our mission and each other.
