About the Role
Lightsource is looking for a Product Designer to join our tiny but mighty design team. You’ll report directly to the Lead Product Designer and focus primarily on feature design work for our enterprise web app. You’ll also flex across brand, marketing, and web initiatives when needed: from refining our design system to supporting our website and collateral.
This is a hands-on, cross-functional role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, enjoys high-output production work, and understands how design connects to business and engineering. You don’t need to code, but you should know how design gets built.
Responsibilities
Design intuitive product features for our enterprise application
Deliver clean, responsive, developer-ready designs and prototypes in Figma
Contribute to and improve our design system for scale and consistency
Collaborate closely with engineering during build and QA
Support brand and marketing projects (web, decks, social, etc.)
Communicate design intent clearly to stakeholders across teams
Work across product, brand, web, and marketing initiatives with speed and quality
Balance multiple priorities and switch contexts quickly
Translate abstract goals into clean, usable designs
The Team
We’re a tight-knit group of builders and engineers from companies like Tesla, Waymo, and Google X. We’re solving big, gnarly problems in sourcing and supply chains—systems that power the physical world. You’ll work closely with engineers and customers, help shape processes, and play a key role in shipping real impact.
We keep the team small, hire only the best, and move fast with intention. If you’re curious, friendly, and like to learn while doing, you’ll fit right in.

Experience applying brand across different touchpoints
Self-directed and comfortable participating in product discussions
Clear communicator who can give and receive feedback effectively
Experience working across multiple projects and stakeholders at once
Ability to shift between strategic thinking and production mode seamlessly
Strong prioritization skills and fast turnaround without sacrificing polish
Bonus Points
Startup or agency experience
Exposure to complex enterprise product design

A passion for craft, systems thinking, and continuous improvement
Comfort working in ambiguity and driving clarity

You’ll thrive here if you’re…
Hungry, curious, and adaptable
Obsessed with clean, usable interfaces
Not afraid to roll up your sleeves and get into the details
Excited to help shape the future of a growing product and brand
Energized by shifting priorities and tight timelines
