Company Summary
Azuga is a telematics IoT company building hardware and software to power the future of mobility. We are part of the innovation arm of Bridgestone, the world's largest tire manufacturer.
Job Summary
We are looking a Senior UX Designer who is passionate about creating thoughtful, user-centered product experiences for telematics customers. This role combines deep user research, strong storytelling, and close collaboration with cross-functional engineering teams to shape product strategy and deliver impactful design solutions. As a Senior UX Designer, you will own the design direction for your respective product area, and lead design initiatives from concept to launch. The ideal candidate is strategic and hands-on, equally comfortable leading discovery workshops, mapping end-to-end user journeys, crafting UI workflows, and presenting design narratives that influence product decisions.
Responsibilities
- Own the end-to-end design for your product area, delivering high-quality work autonomously with minimal oversight, while setting a high bar for design craft across the organization.
- Scale an enterprise design system, establishing foundational tokens, components, and patterns that support multi-product, multi-platform experiences as the company grows.
- Design with AI-native workflows in mind — building systems, components, and documentation that are structured for consumption by AI tools like Figma Make. Enabling faster design-to-code handoff and agentic development workflows.
- Partner with engineering to embed AI tooling into the design-to-development pipeline, ensuring Figma libraries, variables, and code-connected components translate cleanly into production via modern engineering tools (e.g., Storybook, Cursor, Claude Code).
- Synthesize research findings and translate them into clear product opportunities and design directions.
- Develop a deep understanding of customers, competitors, and the broader product landscape.
- Partner closely with Product Managers and Engineering teams to successfully bring features and experiences to market.
- Build high-fidelity interactive prototypes that validate complex interaction models, micro-interactions, and system behavior.
- Contribute to improving design processes, research practices, and team collaboration - including evaluating and introducing emerging AI design tools to the team.
Qualifications
- 6+ years of relevant product design experience, with demonstrated ownership of complex product areas.
- Proven experience scaling a design system, including defining token architecture, governance models, contribution workflows, and documentation standards that hold up under organizational growth.
- Expert-level Figma proficiency, including:
- Advanced auto layout with nested structures, min/max constraints, and responsive behaviors across breakpoints
- Component architecture with variants, component properties, boolean/instance swap props, and slot patterns
- Interactive prototyping with conditional logic, variables, and advanced transitions
- Fluency with AI design and development tools, including hands-on experience with Figma Make, Claude / Claude Code, and an understanding of how to embed these tools into design and engineering workflows to accelerate delivery without sacrificing craft.
- Strong experience conducting and synthesizing qualitative and quantitative user research.
- Exceptional attention to detail for visual craft — composition, typography, layout, and motion.
- Proven ability to tell compelling product stories using research, design artifacts, and prototypes.
- Experience collaborating closely with cross-functional product and engineering teams, including shaping handoff and implementation workflows.
Nice to Haves
- 8+ years of experience in Product/UX design, with time spent in a high-growth or 0-to-1 product environment.
- Experience with ProtoPie for advanced or cross-device interactive prototyping beyond what Figma supports natively.
- Experience embedding AI into design ops - e.g., using LLMs for design system documentation, component audits, accessibility checks, or generating code-ready specs.
- Familiarity with Code Connect, Storybook, or similar tools that bridge Figma components to production code.
- Experience with Product Board for product discovery and roadmap planning.
- Experience with Pendo or other product analytics / in-product feedback tools.
- Familiarity working within Jira-based product development workflows.
- Experience presenting product design work to senior stakeholders or leadership.
