Handshake
Staff Product Designer, Handshake AI
Handshake, San Francisco, California, United States, 94199
Overview
All candidates should make sure to read the following job description and information carefully before applying. Handshake
is building the career network for the AI economy, backed by the largest and most trusted job network on the internet. As the only three-sided job marketplace connecting 18 million knowledge workers, 1,500 educational institutions, and 1 million employers, Handshake powers career discovery, hiring, and upskilling—from first internships to full-time roles, freelance work to gig work, and beyond.
Founded in 2014, we’ve built the most trusted platform for early talent—owning the college-to-career market and powering nearly every career center. Today we’re building on that foundation to help students and early professionals upskill or reskill for the future.
Now’s a great time to join Handshake. Here’s why:
Category Leader: Over 92% coverage across US universities & 77% of total US university student population.
Proven Market Demand: Deep employer partnerships across Fortune 500s and the world’s leading AI research labs.
World-Class Team: Leadership from Scale AI, Open AI, xAI, Notion, Coinbase, and Palantir, just to name a few.
Capitalized & Scaling:
$434M raised with a $175M+ run rate.
About The Role
Organize, craft, and iterate on large, strategic initiatives: you’ll use data, research, and product thinking to form your product vision, and paint possible paths forward in pixels and prototypes.
Collaborate closely with cross-functional partners: research, PM, engineering, operations, analytics, design systems, brand, marketing — to ship and iterate on strategic, well-thought-out products that make real impact for both our fellows, operators, and customer labs.
Help your team succeed: raise the bar on culture, operations, and execution of design work, including product reasoning, systems thinking, pixel-level precision, prototyping, and the ability to facilitate conversations with and present to stakeholders.
Strengthen the overall product organization’s ability to experiment, iterate, and learn alongside your product organization to lead teammates; develop well-informed strategic visions of where we’re headed, collaborate to break them into pragmatic phases to scaffold our way forward.
Desired Capabilities
You’ve designed and shipped products that customers love, and can systematically, clearly articulate what it took to make that happen, from high-level strategy down to pixel-level decision-making.
You know how to roll data, research, business goals, technical constraints, and customer needs together into strongly-crafted solutions (mocks, prototypes, flows); you iterate fast, ensure you gather feedback, and use strategic reasoning to inform your decisions.
You relish using your design skills to bring clarity and simplicity to both process and product.
You're humble and kind, excited to keep learning, and curious about the workings of a new technology, industry, and ever-evolving team / product surface area.
