Product Designer (AI Assistant for Web Testing)

<p>&nbsp;</p> <p>We're building an AI copilot for web testing automation. It's a desktop app that enables manual and automation QA engineers to turn their manual testing flows into production-ready automated E2E testing scripts, saving hours of manual work and coding. We're a 5-person team building it inside JetBrains' internal incubator.</p> <p><a href="https://quretests.com/">https://quretests.com/</a></p> <h3><strong>About the role</strong></h3> <p>You'd be the only designer, reporting to the founder and owning everything between "the feature exists" and "users can actually use it." That work splits in two:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Proactive UX ownership (~70%).</strong> You hunt down friction nobody filed a ticket about - through analytics, user feedback, and your own daily use of the product - and fix it end to end.</li> <li><strong>Polish after engineering (~30%).</strong> Engineers ship the raw v1; you rework the flow, copy, states and discoverability until a new user gets it without a tutorial.</li> </ul> <p>You design and you build. Self-contained UI ships from your hands; deeper engineering work goes to engineers as a working prototype. UX flaws - confusing flows, missing empty states, unclear errors - are yours, even on code you didn't write. Performance, architecture, and bundle size are not.</p> <p>Your focus in the first three months:</p> <ul> <li>Redesign onboarding from scratch based on what the data shows about first-session drop-off.</li> <li>Design and ship a flow that lets non-technical users review and validate the tests our AI agent generates.</li> <li>Build a user-friendly error system with clear resolution paths.</li> </ul> <h3><strong>Why this role</strong></h3> <ul> <li>What you do reaches real users in days, not months.</li> <li>You're the only designer in a 5-person team, so your design decisions go straight to users.</li> <li>Funded by JetBrains, not VCs - we work for user value, not for metrics that look good in the next funding round.</li> </ul> <h3><strong>Required experience</strong></h3> <p>You'll fit if you've spent the last few years closer to the build than to the brief - shipping the changes you noticed, prototyping options instead of arguing them, keeping the loop with users tight. Concretely:</p> <ul> <li>You've shipped a real product or significant feature, owning both design and implementation using AI coding tools like Cursor or Claude Code. Side projects, internal tools, and solo work all count.</li> <li>You've worked at least one year in a startup or fast-moving team.</li> <li>You've owned UX across multiple user journeys in a web or desktop app - ideally as #1 or #2 designer in a startup.</li> <li>You've driven multiple product changes from analytics, support tickets, or interviews you ran yourself - not from a PM brief or internal opinion.</li> </ul> <h3><strong>Nice to have</strong></h3> <ul> <li>You've designed developer tools, QA or testing products, or other technical B2B SaaS.</li> <li>You've worked on AI-powered products or LLM-based features.</li> <li>You've spent serious time on product management or frontend development - in a job, on a side project, or through deliberate self-study.</li> <li>You've run your own user interviews and lightweight research.</li> </ul> <p><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">#LI-HYBRID&nbsp;</span><br><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">#LI-KT1</span></p><div class="content-conclusion"><p><strong>We are an equal opportunity employer</strong><br><br>We know great ideas can come from anyone, anywhere.
