Staff Product Designer

Job ID 2024-12676 Date posted Feb. 24, 2025 Location Cambridge, United Kingdom Category Software Engineering, Design Engineering Apply

About the role
Are you passionate about designing world-class developer tools that shape the future of AI, gaming, and embedded systems? Do you thrive on tackling complex product challenges, defining the visual and interaction language of software products, and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams? If so, join us in designing the next generation of developer experiences at Arm!

Job Overview
We are responsible for product design and usability of software tools, from mature suites to green field projects across multiple developer segments. Our work ranges from facilitating service blueprinting workshops to crafting high quality user interactions. We collaborate closely with product management, UX research and engineering teams to build extraordinary software products using design thinking approaches.

Responsibilities:

  • Partner with product and engineering leaders to understand and balance innovation and technical feasibility with usability.
  • Lead strategic design workshops to build confidence in our product direction. As an output you will also define validation metrics to understand the success of a design or feature.
  • Create seamless, intuitive, and high-performing developer experiences that enhance efficiency and spark innovation.
  • Conduct usability testing, either moderated or un-moderated, or use other validation methods.
  • Be a key contributor to a software-product centric design system, defining design patterns, UI kits, guidelines, and custom tooling with your design colleagues and engineering users.
  • Elevate our design culture by mentoring designers, refining processes, and championing best-in-class design practices.


Required Skills and Experience:

  • You have a strong portfolio demonstrating your ability to create intuitive, elegant software interfaces. Whether you’ve worked at a startup, a tech giant, or somewhere in between, we care about your craft, problem-solving ability, and strategic thinking.
  • A clear aesthetic understanding of visual design execution. You care about getting things right and you work closely with the engineering team to make sure your design is pixel perfect.
  • You are fantastic at communicating your thinking and design decisions: you understand that storytelling is important in selling design.
  • You're proficient in industry-standard design tools (Figma, Sketch, Adobe Suite), but more importantly, you’re adaptable and eager to learn new ones.

“Nice To Have” Skills and Experience:

Experience with B2B or technical tools is a plus! If you've designed for developers, engineers, or other specialized users, you can excel in this role. Above all, we value a deep curiosity for technology and a desire to design for technical users.

In Return:

You'll drive the design vision and user experience for critical developer tools used worldwide. Your work will directly shape the way developers innovate with Arm's pioneering technology. Your portfolio will grow to showcase sophisticated, high-impact B2B applications that influence some of the most advanced industries in the world.
