Being a Dialer At Dialpad, AI isn’t just a feature; it’s how our teams do their best work every day. We put powerful AI tools in every employee’s hands so they can move faster, think bigger, and achieve more. We believe every conversation matters. And we’ve built the platform that turns those conversations into insight and action, for our customers and ourselves. We look for people who are intensely curious and hold themselves to a high bar. Our ambition is significant, and achieving it requires a team that operates at the highest level. We seek individuals who embody our core traits: Scrappy, Curious, Optimistic, Persistent, and Empathetic . Your role You are a connector. You are a builder. You work at the edge of what's possible with AI and design. You restlessly push yourself to get better and lift your team along with you. If this describes you, then Dialpad is the place for you. We're looking for a Staff Product Designer. This person will be a key design leader, sharpening how AI shows up in Dialpad, meeting our customers' needs, and driving how the team incorporates AI into their day-to-day work. This person will help build the future of business communications for humans—and AI. At Dialpad, we deeply understand both: we've been providing real-time communication services for almost 15 years and building AI solutions since 2018, having transcribed over 5 billion calls and meeting minutes. The Design team sits at the forefront of what's next for Dialpad: we not only help explore the future of the Dialpad platform, but we were the first team at Dialpad to fully adopt AI into our work. We're reshaping how we work with AI and how AI shows up for our customers. We are a team of curious, technically grounded builders who care deeply about craft, exploring ideas, and building tools to help each other. This role is a great fit for someone who's as comfortable working in a terminal window as they are in a Figma window, who treats AI as a medium to be designed in—not a feature to be tacked on, and who is restless about the design craft and how it's changing. Portfolios must demonstrate impactful work consistently implemented at high-craft standards. Your portfolio must also show evidence of an AI-native design practice from within the last 6 months. We're not looking for AI savants; we're looking for designers who can fluently use these tools in their work. We're looking for designers who raise the bar around them — not just what they personally shipped. What you'll do Lead design on the foundational layers and platform-wide initiatives that the rest of Dialpad's product is built on. Partner with design, product, and engineering leadership to set direction for the platform work that feature teams depend on. Define the patterns, primitives, and interaction models that other designers and teams build with — and make sure they hold up at scale. Ship production code alongside engineering — not just front-end polish, but meaningful contributions to the systems your work shapes. Build production-realistic coded prototypes with real data that engineers can take forward into platform work. Design AI-first capabilities and infrastructure where trust, tr
