Our Product
Bubble is the only fully visual AI app builder that lets you vibe code without the code to go beyond prototypes and launch real apps to real users. Chat with AI when you want speed, edit directly when you want control. Bubble's visual editor lets you fine-tune any detail, from the design to privacy rules and programming logic, so you're never stuck, even if AI hits its limits. Everything you need comes built in: a unified web and native mobile editor, enterprise-grade hosting, security, database management, and automatic scaling that grows with your business.
You can build just about anything on Bubble, and our community is living proof. Mailead grew a $10K investment into a $2M valuation, and Faceless.video went from zero to $1M+ ARR in under a year. People aren't just launching products on Bubble, they're building real businesses.

Why Join Bubble Now?
The rise of AI-generated software has validated everything Bubble has been building toward for over a decade. But pure AI-generated code is fragile, hard to debug, and rarely production-ready. Bubble bridges that gap, combining the speed of AI with a structured visual platform that produces stable, scalable, secure software. The people who join Bubble right now will help define what that means for millions of builders around the world. If you've ever wanted to work on something that genuinely changes who gets to build, this is your moment.
About The Role:
We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer to shape how Bubble builders create, edit, and ship applications in our core editor experience, owning end‑to‑end outcomes for substantial parts of the editor and tying design decisions directly to user and business impact. As the design owner for important product areas on the Core team, you’ll navigate ambiguity, set clear direction, and communicate design choices so PM and Engineering understand trade‑offs, rationale, and how the approach advances key outcomes.
The Core team is responsible for the Bubble editor that enables users to design their app’s UI on a WYSIWYG canvas, visually build workflows, and manage data. It’s the heart and core of the Bubble experience. The Core team is comprised of multiple pods focused in the following areas:
Improving the editor user experience to make it more intuitive and easy to learn
Integrating AI natively into the editor and offering contextual guidance
Adding editor functionality to enable users to build robust AI and mobile apps
As a Senior Product Designer on the Core team, you’ll lead product design for one of the focus areas above. You will be matched to a team based on your skills and experience.
What you’ll work on
Own end‑to‑end design and outcomes for key parts of the Bubble editor and core platform, from problem discovery through shipped experience and follow‑up iterations.
Lead design for complex projects within the Core product area, defining goals up front and ensuring work ties back to clear user and business metrics.
Turn ambiguous problem spaces into focused problem statements, options, and recommendations that help the team choose the right bets, not just the right UI.
Partner with PM and engineering as a thought partner, shaping scope and milestones, calling out risks early, and pushing for the right trade‑offs when quality or usability is at risk.
Proactively identify UX issues in your area (through data, research, support tickets, or community input), prioritize them with your partners, and drive them to resolution.
Produce implementation‑ready design specs that anticipate edge cases and technical constraints, and stay close to engineering through launch to protect quality.
Act as a go‑to design voice for your product area, sharing context and rationale with other designers so patterns stay coherent across the editor.
Contribute to team‑level rituals for critique, discovery, and continuous improvement, and model how to give and receive specific, actionable feedback.
Provide day‑to‑day mentorship and feedback to other designers working near your area, helping them grow their autonomy and craft.
Leverage AI to accelerate prototyping, research and validation, design–to-dev hand-off, and more.
About you
You operate as the design lead for your product area even if you don’t have a Lead title: you frame problems, align partners, make trade‑offs explicit, and keep work moving toward outcomes.
You can walk through past work in a way that feels candid and operational: what you owned, where things were messy, what you’d do differently, and how the work performed after launch.
You’re comfortable saying “no” or “not yet” when a direction will materially harm UX or increase complexity, and you can propose pragmatic alternatives that keep the team unblocked.
You naturally connect your work to metrics and signals—whether usability, adoption, activation, or support volume—and you care about improving them over time, not just shipping v1.
You communicate design direction clearly so that PM and engineering partners feel bought‑in, understand the trade‑offs, and can advocate for the work even when you’re not in the room.
Qualifications
Experience: Typically 6–10+ years of product design experience, with a track record of acting as the primary designer for complex product areas and delivering measurable impact. Comfort working in fast‑moving environments where you need to ship iteratively while maintaining a high bar for UX.
Environment: You’ve worked in product organizations with multiple designers and cross‑functional partners, where you’ve had to influence, negotiate trade‑offs, and maintain standards—not just ship tickets.
Background: In‑house product design experience in products with real complexity (B2B SaaS, internal tools, workflows, creator tools, or similar). Experience in companies with multiple designers and cross‑functional teams.
Portfolio: A portfolio that shows end‑to‑end ownership of complex product work, clear articulation of problem framing, process and decision‑making, and measurable outcomes or learnings.
Tools: Proficiency with modern product design tools, working in shared design systems. Proficient in leveraging AI tools in your work, such as Claude Code or Figma Make.
Research: Experience planning and running lightweight user research and usability testing for your own projects.
Nice to have:
Experience designing for technical or semi‑technical users (developers, operators, agencies) or building tools that expose complexity in a manageable way.
Familiarity with no‑code/low‑code tools or app builders, whether from previous roles or from building your own projects.
Experience working on editors, IDEs, design tools, admin consoles, or other highly interactive, dense interfaces.
Compensation:
We offer competitive compensation aligned to tier one markets. Our estimated salary for this role at Bubble ranges from $162k - $209k. Actual pay is determined by multiple factors such as skills, qualifications, experience and market demand.
We prefer hiring people within commuting distance of our NYC office because we value getting together in person regularly. For those who enjoy working from our Manhattan office on a more regular basis, we offer catered lunches, and happy hours, among other fun perks.

Our benefits include, but are not limited to:
Comprehensive health coverage
