Product Designer

GitBook is a documentation platform that empowers companies to deliver a top tier product experience through amazing documentation.

GitBook is a fully remote company with a team distributed between Europe, North America, and Asia. As a small team, we’re all generalists and constantly picking up new challenges. When it comes to code, we’re looking to work with experienced people who can pick a problem and solve it.

We’re looking for a Product Designer who embodies a high quality bar and brings a systems-thinking mindset to everything they do. You’ll help shape our product from top to bottom: from early concepts to pixel-perfect screens, from design systems to small front-end polish.

If you're a thoughtful generalist with great taste and the technical fluency to ship beautiful, functional interfaces, we’d love to meet you!

✍️ What you will be doing

• Take full ownership of the visual and interaction design across GitBook’s product

• Work hand-in-hand with Product, Engineering, and Marketing: from idea to execution

• Contribute directly to the implementation of UI in our codebase (React, TypeScript, CSS)

• Evolve and maintain GitBook’s Design System - ensuring visual consistency and a cohesive user experience

• Translate insights and feedback into delightful, user-centered design decisions

• Craft high-quality prototypes to explore and validate ideas

• Partner with engineers to build polished, production-quality components and features

🫶You will be valued for

• Design Taste & Craft You sweat the details. You design with care, from iconography and typography to motion and micro-interactions.

• Full-Stack Design Thinking You move comfortably between UX flows, UI systems, and code. You care deeply about how things look, feel, and work.

• Proactive Collaboration You share early and often, ask for feedback, and support your teammates. You don’t wait for permission, you lead with initiative.

• Your technical experience You’re comfortable writing HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and ideally have some experience with React. You’re not expected to build entire features solo, but you can pair with engineers, open PRs, and speak their language.

• Ownership & Curiosity You work autonomously and take pride in owning outcomes not just deliverables. You’re comfortable navigating ambiguity and learning as you go.

• 3+ years of experience in UI/UX or Product Design in product-led teams.

• A portfolio that demonstrates high-quality product thinking and strong visual execution.

• Experience working with or contributing to a Design System.

• Strong communication skills: you can clearly explain your design rationale to non-designers.

• Comfortable writing HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (React is a strong bonus).
