Product Designer Vancouver, Bc, Canada

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 productsCreate solutions that deliver measurable value, not just visual polishWork directly with clients - from understanding business needs to presenting and defending design decisionsCraft and build problem-solving processes for different types of projectsHelp us push boundaries while keeping things grounded in realityClearly articulate design decisions and explain your thinking to clients and engineersEstablish and adapt clear processes while staying adaptable as projects evolveDesign for agentic products: interfaces where users set a goal and the system handles the steps. This is increasingly where our client work livesUse 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 instinctYou'll Thrive Here If:
You take on projects and run with them on your ownYou're comfortable leading client conversations, shaping the brief as we're responding to it, while clearly articulating the rationale behind your decisionsYou apply user-centric design principles with ease, following web and mobile design standards, whilst challenging the status quoYou have a strong eye for design and a deep understanding of how to craft intuitive, impactful user workflowsKnow how to balance user needs with business realitiesBring fresh perspectives to team discussions while remaining grounded in what's possibleWant to work with a talented team that celebrates our differences and enjoys solving problems togetherWhat makes you RIGHT for this role:
You've spent 5-6+ years designing shipped, real-world digital products and have the portfolio to prove itYou work across the full design stack: product thinking, UX, and UIYou excel at solving complex problems and pride yourself on being highly self-sufficientYou're not a researcher, but you can conduct targeted, lightweight research, synthesize key insights, and apply it directly to your design decisionsPrior experience working with junior designers and providing thoughtful, constructive feedback that helps them growYou'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 evolvingYou can switch contexts quickly and aren't precious about your workYou have strong opinions but hold them looselyYou use AI tools daily (Claude, Figma Make, Gemini, whatever fits the job) to prototype quickly and iterate without waiting for a dev cycleYou've designed for AI-assisted products and can talk through the UX tradeoffsNice-to-have (What will make you stand out):
A healthy skepticism of "best practices" and a willingness to question assumptionsNavigate and adapt to different working styles and personalities effectivelyDesigned for LLM powered interfaces: chat, copilots, background agents, or anything where the "UI" is partially the AI outputExperience with prototype creation using AI tools (vibe coding), enough to run your own ideation and testing without waiting for a developerYou're NOT a good fit for this role if:
You're mainly an executor and haven't set design direction across a full product lineYou don't have experience designing for real products in real-world scenarios where users, business needs, and constraints shape the workYou've only worked in one product category and haven't handled multiple categories simultaneouslyYou're uncomfortable working fast, using AI, and making clear, opinionated design decisions at scaleWhat We Offer:
A team that trusts each other and values your ideasReal problems to solve for real usersThe freedom to shape how we workA culture that embraces flexibility and creativityWe 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.
