The role

Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client.

What you'll do

- Take ownership of product areas from discovery and design prototypes through to shipping production-quality features.

- Build across the full stack, with particular care for clear and intuitive user experiences.

- Collaborate with leadership and users to surface problems, question assumptions and prioritize the roadmap using real usage and feedback.

- Design system architecture, data models and interfaces, and decide where standard application logic or AI-driven approaches fit best.

- Shape interface and interaction design, adapting proven patterns from well-regarded products.

- Write concise product requirement documents, prototype to validate technical feasibility, and follow through on rollout, bug fixes, usability and performance.

- Try out AI tools in day-to-day engineering and operations, and turn the effective ones into shared team habits.
