About this role

COMPANY OVERVIEW

Deepgram is the leading platform underpinning the emerging trillion-dollar Voice AI economy, providing real-time APIs for speech-to-text (STT), text-to-speech (TTS), and building production-grade voice agents at scale. More than 200,000 developers and 1,300+ organizations build voice offerings that are ‘Powered by Deepgram’, including Twilio, Cloudflare, Sierra, Decagon, Vapi, Daily, Cresta, Granola, and Jack in the Box. Deepgram’s voice-native foundation models are accessed through cloud APIs or as self-hosted and on-premises software, with unmatched accuracy, low latency, and cost efficiency. Backed by a recent Series C led by leading global investors and strategic partners, Deepgram has processed over 50,000 years of audio and transcribed more than 1 trillion words. There is no organization in the world that understands voice better than Deepgram.

COMPANY OPERATING RHYTHM

At Deepgram, we expect an AI-first mindset—AI use and comfort aren’t optional, they’re core to how we operate, innovate, and measure performance.

Every team member who works at Deepgram is expected to actively use and experiment with advanced AI tools, and even build your own into your everyday work. We measure how effectively AI is applied to deliver results, and consistent, creative use of the latest AI capabilities is key to success here. Candidates should be comfortable adopting new models and modes quickly, integrating AI into their workflows, and continuously pushing the boundaries of what these technologies can do.

Additionally, we move at the pace of AI. Change is rapid, and you can expect your day-to-day work to evolve just as quickly. This may not be the right role if you’re not excited to experiment, adapt, think on your feet, and learn constantly, or if you’re seeking something highly prescriptive with a traditional 9-to-5.

Note: This is a remote role based in Pacific Time, with a preference for candidates located in San Francisco.

Deepgram is scaling fast and our design practice must keep pace. We're looking for a Staff Product Designer who can ship world-class work across our most critical surfaces and, over time, transform how design operates inside the company. You'll frame problems across multiple product teams — developer workflows, evaluator journeys, and the interplay between them — co-author strategy with Product leadership, and own business outcomes. Voice AI is still defining its interaction patterns. You'll be inventing, not iterating.

Your first chapter: design system evolution and the product surfaces where design impact is most needed. As you build context and the team grows, your scope expands into broader practice transformation.

You'll report directly to the Director of Product Design. This is a Staff IC role — you'll raise the bar through craft, operational thinking, and durable enablement that lets a small team deliver outsized impact. You won't have direct reports initially, but as the team grows, this role has a natural path into people leadership. You're opinionated, instinct-driven, and move decisively when the path isn't clear.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Set the standard for end-to-end design quality across high-stakes surfaces — experience-driven, enterprise-grade, AI observability, and agent interfaces — from early concepts through production

- Design for the full complexity of our domain: developer workflows, API and SDK experiences, and evaluator journeys — accounting for user needs, technical constraints, and business viability

- Deliver interaction design and prototypes at a level of craft that sets the standard for the team

- Drive our design system from AI-ready to AI-native — embedding AI into how the team designs, generates components, and maintains systems, with measurable improvements in speed, quality, and coherence

- Shape what the team needs to learn and how it learns — establishing the research practices, insight architecture, and knowledge-sharing rhythms that ensure design decisions are grounded in evidence, not assumption

- Set and uphold a high bar for execution across teams — faster cycles, hi
