About this role

Staff Product Designer is a permanent hybrid role based in Espoo, Finland, within the product management department at ICEYE. This position suits an experienced, hands-on individual contributor who wants to lead design efforts for new space-based intelligence products combining AI and data intelligence.

Role Overview

ICEYE seeks a Staff Product Designer to work in Espoo on a hybrid schedule requiring three days per week in the office. Reporting to the Product Design Director, this permanent position involves leading the end-to-end design of a greenfield product where AI, LLMs, and data intelligence intersect. The role functions as a hands-on individual contributor rather than a management position, helping to build the core design team and establish design foundations from the ground up.

Key Responsibilities

Own the complete design process from initial problem definition and user research to concepts and shipped user interfaces.
Conduct regular user research by engaging directly with users to observe workflows and inform design choices.
Simplify complex data-heavy, AI, and LLM workflows into intuitive user experiences.
Build and test prototypes rapidly using real users and data before committing engineering resources.
Collaborate closely with engineers, data scientists, and product managers during problem framing and execution.
Establish foundational design patterns, quality standards, and working methods for future team members.
Refine the product craft by paying attention to details and exchanging design feedback.

Requirements

Proven top-tier craft demonstrated through a portfolio showing UX thinking, visual execution, and attention to detail.
Prior experience designing for data products, machine learning, or artificial intelligence.
History of shipping design work that demonstrably improved metrics such as adoption or churn.
Strong focus on proactive user research and direct customer interaction.
Comfort working through ambiguous, messy problems without an existing playbook.
High sense of ownership for both successes and past failures with clear learnings.
Autonomous execution without relying on formal design operations or ticketing queues.

Nice to Have

Experience designing in a technical environment alongside engineers or scientists on complex systems.
Personal interest in satellites and Earth observation.
