Staff Product Designer

At Tecton, we are on a mission to bring Machine Learning to every customer and product interaction on the planet. We build an enterprise-grade, world-class Feature Platform - the infrastructure that powers real-time ML applications and systems in production.

Tecton's founders developed the first Feature Store when they created Uber's Michelangelo ML platform, and we're now bringing those same capabilities to every organization in the world.

Tecton is funded by Sequoia Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, and Kleiner Perkins, along with strategic investments from Snowflake and Databricks. We have a fast-growing team that's distributed around the world, with offices in San Francisco and New York City. Our team has years of experience building and operating business-critical machine learning systems at leading tech companies like Uber, Google, Meta, Airbnb, Lyft, and Twitter.

Making our customers extremely happy is our top priority and that begins with design. We have many interesting design challenges and you would collaborate deeply with the engineering and product teams in solving them. You would be the driver of our design team, building a strong design foundation, and leading a vision which perfectly complements our product.
