At Comedia, we're not your typical agency. From our offices in San Francisco and Vancouver, we build digital products that matter, working with both scrappy startups and industry giants. We believe in making the complex simple and getting things done without the unnecessary fluff. While we take our work seriously, we don't take ourselves too seriously. The Role
We're looking for a Product Designer with strong craft and a bias toward shipping. AI is changing how we research, prototype, and iterate, and we want someone genuinely excited about that. The expectation is that you use these tools to produce better work faster, not as a substitute for design fundamentals. (*Remote-friendly, but you must be based in Vancouver, BC, Canada) What You'll Actually Do:
Collaborate with our cross-functional teams to build and ship real products Create solutions that deliver measurable value, not just visual polish Work directly with clients - from understanding business needs to presenting and defending design decisions Craft and build problem-solving processes for different types of projects Help us push boundaries while keeping things grounded in reality Clearly articulate design decisions and explain your thinking to clients and engineers Establish and adapt clear processes while staying adaptable as projects evolve Design for agentic products: interfaces where users set a goal and the system handles the steps. This is increasingly where our client work lives Use AI to keep things moving. Knowing when not to hand-craft every pixel is a skill. If AI can get an onboarding flow 80% there in hours, spending a week on it is the wrong instinct You'll Thrive Here If:
You take on projects and run with them on your own You're comfortable leading client conversations, shaping the brief as we're responding to it,
while clearly articulating the rationale behind your decisions You apply user-centric design principles with ease, following web and mobile design standards, whilst challenging the status quo You have a strong eye for design and a deep understanding of how to craft intuitive, impactful user workflows Know how to balance user needs with business realities Bring fresh perspectives to team discussions while remaining grounded in what's possible Want to work with a talented team that celebrates our differences and enjoys solving problems together What makes you RIGHT for this role:
You've spent 5-6+ years designing shipped, real-world digital products and have the portfolio to prove it You work across the full design stack: product thinking, UX, and UI You excel at solving complex problems and pride yourself on being highly self-sufficient You're not a researcher, but you can conduct targeted, lightweight research, synthesize key insights, and apply it directly to your design decisions Prior experience working with junior designers and providing thoughtful, constructive feedback that helps them grow You're comfortable working in ambiguity and know how to create clarity from chaos by structuring problems, defining direction,
and moving forward even when inputs are incomplete or evolving You can switch contexts quickly and aren't precious about your work You have strong opinions but hold them loosely You use AI tools daily (Claude, Figma Make, Gemini, whatever fits the job) to prototype quickly and iterate without waiting for a dev cycle You've designed for AI-assisted products and can talk through the UX tradeoffs Nice-to-have (What will make you stand out):
A healthy skepticism of "best practices" and a willingness to question assumptions Navigate and adapt to different working styles and personalities effectively Designed for LLM powered interfaces: chat, copilots, background agents, or anything where the "UI" is partially the AI output Experience with prototype creation using AI tools (vibe coding), enough to run your own ideation and testing without waiting for a developer You're NOT a good fit for this role if:
You're mainly an executor and haven't set design direction across a full product line You don't have experience designing for real products in real-world scenarios where users, business needs, and constraints shape the work You've only worked in one product category and haven't handled multiple categories simultaneously You're uncomfortable working fast, using AI, and making explicit, opinionated design decisions at scale What We Offer:
A team that trusts each other and values your ideas Real problems to solve for real users The freedom to shape how we work A culture that embraces flexibility and creativity We believe the best products come from diverse perspectives. If you're excited about building things that matter and want to have fun with great colleagues along the way, we'd love to hear from you. You must be legally entitled to work in Canada to be considered for this position. Applications without a CV and portfolio will not be considered.
