About Blitzy

Blitzy is a Cambridge, MA based AI software development platform on a mission to revolutionize the software development life cycle by autonomously building custom software to unlock the next industrial revolution. We're transforming how enterprises build software, turning enterprise requirements into production-ready code with an agentic software development platform that can autonomously execute 80% of the quantum of software development work.

We're backed by multiple tier 1 investors, and have proven success as founders of previous start-ups.

Compensation: $140,000 - $170,000
Locations:
Cambridge, MA & Burlington, MA

We're looking for a Forward Deployed Product Designer to work on-site with our customers to help them revolutionize how they design and build enterprise software. You'll work on-site with customers 3 days per week, creating production-ready designs, prototyping new workflows using Blitzy, and partnering shoulder‑to‑shoulder with their design, product and engineering teams to deliver transformative user experiences.

You’ll translate complex enterprise requirements into intuitive interfaces and participate in sprint planning and design reviews. Success means rapidly prototyping use cases, and becoming a trusted advisor to product leaders through hands‑on design expertise.

This role requires fluency in modern design tools (Figma), understanding of enterprise software workflows, AI/LLM tools and prompting, and the ability to navigate complex stakeholder relationships. You'll influence product direction through field insights and help evangelize Blitzy across the enterprise to shape the future of AI-powered software development.

• Be comfortable working directly with customer leadership every day, embedded in their product rhythm
• Embed with customer teams during critical implementations, serving as their design co‑pilot
• Participate in customer sprint planning, design reviews, and guide design decision‑making

• Translate product requirements and concepts into wireframes, detailed UI designs, and interaction specifications
• Work through edge cases, error states, and the full spectrum of user scenarios
• Maintain consistency across product surfaces and document design decisions

• Work closely with the Founding Designer to learn how to design specifically for autonomous code generation - knowing what to specify in detail, what to leave to the platform, and how to structure handoff so execution quality stays high
• Create clear, Blitzy‑ready design specs
• Evangelize the Blitzy platform across the enterprise and train design teams on how to best leverage the platform

• 5+ years professional product design experience
• Strong portfolio demonstrating depth of thinking through case studies, not just final visuals
• Rigorous interaction design skills. You think through flows, states, and edge cases systematically
• Excellent communication skills and ability to translate complex design concepts clearly and effectively
• Strong visual/UI craft—typography, spacing, hierarchy, consistency
• Expert Figma proficiency (components, variants, auto‑layout)
• Familiarity with LLMs and generative AI tools
• Attention to detail. You notice what others overlook
• Ability to work at speed without sacrificing quality

• Degree in Design, HCI, or related fields
• Exposure to AI/ML products or developer tools (Good to have, but not must)
