About this role
At Sentra we embarked on an exciting journey to build a one-of-a-kind company memory to help growing startups overcome scaling challenges.

Work directly with CEO on overall strategy and decision-making about product direction
Work with the product team to take ambiguous product ideas and turn them into clear requirements, flows, interactions, and design interfaces.
Create flows, interactions, and designs for multi-surface products: desktop app, web dashboard, notifications, AI outputs, etc.
Rapidly prototype ideas (Figma, interactive mocks) to test with customers
Create and iterate on flows, prototypes, and high-fidelity visuals, as well as provide thoughtful feedback for others doing the same so you can all do your best work
Collaborate with engineers to ensure designs are buildable, performant, and scalable
Create reusable components, patterns, and documentation as the product scales
Collaboratively define metrics and data points to collect and measure design effectiveness
Run lightweight user research, usability tests, and feedback loops with real operators

Fluency in interaction design and prototyping in Figma and related tools, to express and refine nuanced design decisions
A track record of independently driving design processes from discovery through launch—balancing user needs, technical constraints, and business goals
The ability to guide decision-making with structured thinking, clearly articulated rationale, and user-centered research
Experience with data-driven decision making in the design process, defining metrics and data points to evaluate and measure design effectiveness
