If you don’t think you meet all of the criteria below but are still interested in the job, please apply. Nobody checks every box - we’re looking for candidates that are particularly strong in a few areas, and have some interest and capabilities in others.

Kong is building the future of AI connectivity and API management. We're hiring a Sr. Staff Product Designer, Design Systems to define and own the visual and interaction language for our entire platform — and to make sure that language actually shows up, consistently and beautifully, in what customers use every day.

You'll join our ~20-person Product Design team, reporting to the VP of Design, as the design lead for our design system. This is a hands-on craft role: you'll be the one setting the visual bar, building the components and templates other designers build from, and staying close enough to the product to know when the system is working and when it isn't.

You'll work alongside a Design Technologist, who owns our AI prototyping tooling and the Figma ↔ code bridge with engineering. You'll collaborate with them regularly — especially on how the design system shows up in prototyping tools and coded components.

What you'll do

Define our visual language

Own the visual design direction of our design system — color, type, spacing, elevation, motion — with an eye for beauty and delight, not just function

  About the Role:
  We’re looking for someone to own our voice on social and help make Kong famous. We have the chance to dominate our category, but we need a social-obsessed creator to help us pull it off.
  You’ll work with the Director of New Media to set strategy and tone, but YOU will own the channels and get to run with your own ideas. We want someone who knows social better than we do. Someone that loves writing, creating, and turning complex ideas into simple and attention grabbing content.
  This job will be building something new, not maintaining what’s been done before. If you hate boring corporate social content, good! We’re building our New Media team to be attention-first. Interesting and memorable. Let’s be the one exciting brand in a historically “safe” category.
  FYI: Kong's product and audience are technical, but you don't need a technical or B2B background for this role (as long as you’re ready to learn).

You will build the visual systems that make agent workflows, API log views, and LLM-driven developer tooling feel as precise as the infrastructure underneath them.
        
        What You'll Do
        Own the entire front-end surface of Volcano — from architecture decisions to the last pixel of a data visualisation — operating as the sole UI authority on the team
        Build log views, chart components, table interfaces, and graph-based agent workflow visualisations that are both technically precise and visually intentional
        Architect front-end systems within a Next.js monorepo that are performant, maintainable, and designed with the full-stack context in mind — not in isolation from it
        Drive collaborative pair design sessions with Mark and the broader Volcano team, iterating quickly and without attachment to prior work when product direction shifts
