Product Designer

SigNoz is an open-source application performance monitoring (APM) and observability tool. It's designed to help developers monitor applications, troubleshoot issues, and gain insights into their systems by visualizing metrics, traces, and logs.
SigNoz is built to be native to OpenTelemetry, allowing users to work with a single platform for their observability needs.

We’re seeking a Product Designer to join our team.

As a Product Designer at SigNoz, you’ll play a key role in shaping the developer experience of our observability platform.
You’ll design intuitive workflows, data visualizations, and interfaces that make complex concepts — like distributed tracing, metrics exploration, and log analysis — accessible and actionable for developers.

You’ll work closely with Product, Engineering, and Developer Relations to design features that are both functional and delightful.
From exploring a new product module, to improving alerting workflows, to making dashboards more customizable — you’ll have opportunities to directly impact how thousands of developers use SigNoz to understand and improve their applications.

Your contributions will help ensure SigNoz feels simple, powerful, and consistent across the product. You’ll balance clarity with flexibility, designing for both first-time users and advanced power-users in a fast-moving, open-source environment.

Design Expertise

• Strong skills in design tools like Figma (primary), with the ability to create polished prototypes, high-fidelity UI, and component libraries.
  

• Familiarity with design systems and the ability to balance consistency with iterative improvements.
  

Product Thinking

• Experience designing complex workflows and simplifying technical concepts into clear, usable interfaces.
  

• Comfort designing for data-heavy UIs—dashboards, charts, tables, filtering, and search-driven interactions.
  

Developer Empathy

• Understanding of developer tools and workflows (bonus if you’ve worked in developer-facing products or open-source projects).
  

• Ability to translate technical requirements into intuitive product experiences.
  

Collaboration and Communication

• Strong communication skills to work closely with Product Managers, Engineers, and Developer Advocates.
  

• Experience taking feedback from both internal teams and a community of users, and iterating quickly.
  

Attention to Detail

• High standards for design quality, ensuring usability and accessibility are baked into every design.
  

• Awareness of trade-offs between design idealism and technical feasibility, and balancing both to meet shipping targets. We appreciate and encourage moonshot ideas and showcasing finesse and craft through your work.
  

Proactivity

• Someone who takes the initiative to identify UX problems, propose solutions, and experiment.
  

• Comfort working asynchronously in a remote-first team.
  

❌ Feature-Only Mindset – This is not about shipping pretty screens in isolation; we need cohesive workflows and problem-solving.
❌ Pixel-Only Designers – Visual polish matters, but UX thinking and systems design are critical.
❌ Lone Wolves – We thrive on collaboration, feedback, and iteration.
❌ Low Initiative – We want someone who spots opportunities and pushes the product forward.

• Fully Remote (in India): We believe you can do your best work from anywhere.
  

• Flexible Work: We operate asynchronously and trust you to manage your own time.
  

• Impact at Scale: Your design decisions will shape the experience for thousands of developers worldwide.
  

• Open Source Community: Be part of an open-source project with 23,000+ GitHub stars and an active community.
  

SigNoz has been remote ever since its inception and open-source-first. We believe our lean and globally distributed team is our secret weapon in building tools developers love.

• 30+ team members
  

• 6,000+ community members
  

• 23,000+ GitHub Stars (and counting)
  

We move fast, build in public, and use what we ship. We believe deeply in the open-source ecosystem and strive to end the fragmentation of existing tools in observability.

We keep things simple, async-friendly, and respectful of your time:

1. Apply – Our team will review your application.
   

2. Intro Call – A short video chat to get to know each other.
   

3. Take-home Design Assignment.
   

4. Follow-up round after assignment submission.
   

5. Interview Round with the founders.
   

6. Decision – We may follow up with a final question or go straight to offer.
   

All communication is remote, and we aim to move fast.
