Product Designer, Mobile Apps at Versant in Carlsbad, CA

Job description

Summary/Objective Full Swing builds the technology serious golfers and athletes train on — from simulator experiences to a growing family of connected mobile apps and hardware. Our mobile design team owns the companion apps that pair with our devices, guiding users through setup, calibration, live sessions, and performance tracking. As our hardware ecosystem expands, our apps are expanding with it — and design plays a central role in making complex, connected experiences feel simple. We partner closely with Product and Engineering from concept through ship, and care as much about craft as we do about shipping fast and learning from real usage. We’re looking for a mid-level Product Designer to lead scoped, end-to-end design work for key mobile app feature areas. You’ll take ambiguous problems, turn them into clear user flows and polished UI, and partner with cross-functional teams to ship features that real people rely on every day. This role is a strong fit for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, lean product environment—someone who brings structure to ambiguity, moves quickly without sacrificing craft, and takes real ownership of their product area. Primary Functions Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions. Own the end-to-end design process for mobile features — from problem framing and user flows to high-fidelity UI and developer handoff Design and maintain detailed user flows and prototypes in Figma that clearly communicate logic, edge cases, and states to engineering Partner with Product Managers and Engineers from early discovery through launch, balancing user needs, technical constraints, and business goals Contribute to and help evolve our design system, ensuring consistency across iOS and Android Use qualitative and quantitative data (user research, analytics, usability testing) to validate design decisions and iterate post-launch Present design rationale clearly to stakeholders, including leadership, and incorporate feedback without losing sight of the user problem Collaborate with other designers on critique, systems thinking, and shared UX patterns across the broader product Design accessible mobile experiences, applying platform accessibility standards across interaction, visual hierarchy, typography, color, and touch targets. Partner with engineers through implementation and QA to ensure shipped experiences match intended behavior, quality, and edge-case handling. Required Education, Experience & Skills 3+ years of product design experience shipping consumer or professional mobile applications for iOS and/or Android A portfolio that demonstrates end-to-end ownership of shipped product work, including problem framing, user flows, wireframes, high-fidelity UI, prototypes, and iteration informed by user feedback or product data Proficiency in Figma, including building and maintaining detailed user flows, component libraries, and interactive prototypes Solid understanding of iOS and Android design guidelines (Human Interface Guidelines / Material Design) and how they diverge Demonstrated ability to work in ambiguity and move quickly in a fast-paced environment — you're comfortable defining the problem, not just solving one that's handed to you Experience working directly with engineers through implementation and QA, not just handoff Clear communicator who can articulate design decisions to both design and non-design audiences Preferred Education, Experience & Skills Experience designing connected hardware/software experiences, including Bluetooth/BLE pairing, device onboarding, setup, calibration, live-session, or device-status flows Experience contributing to, auditing, or scaling a component library or design system Experience writing or collaborating closely on UX copy/microcopy Experience planning or supporting user interviews, usability tests, and synthesis of findings into product decisions Comfortable incorporating AI tools into your desi
