Senior/Staff Product Designer

Back to jobs Senior/Staff Product Designer Remote, US Apply About ngrok Inc. ngrok is an all-in-one cloud networking platform that secures, transforms, and routes traffic to services running anywhere. Instead of cobbling together nginx, NLBs, VPNs, model routers, and oodles of other tools, developers solve every networking problem with one gateway. Doesn’t matter if they’re sharing localhost or running AI workloads in production. We're trusted by more than 9 million developers at companies like GitHub, Okta, HashiCorp, and Twilio. What started as a way to put your local app on a public URL has grown into a universal gateway for API delivery, AI inference, device fleets, and site-to-site connectivity. It’s the same ngrok that millions of developers have loved and leaned on every day for years, now with the power to run production traffic at scale.

Learn how developers use ngrok, where they get stuck, and what “better” actually looks like for them. Contribute to product direction. Work with Product and Engineering to clarify problems, explore solutions, and shape strong product experiences in your areas. Maintain a high craft bar. Bring strong judgment to interaction design, visual design, copy, edge cases, and implementation details. Lead projects when needed.
