Welcome to OLX
We’re building marketplace sustainable ecosystems that millions of people depend on every month – to buy and sell cars, find homes, land jobs, and trade secondhand goods. It’s commerce that matters: safe, smart, and environmentally responsible.
We do this with courage to innovate, commitment to outcomes, collaboration across 50+ nationalities and 7 markets, and a customer-led approach that puts real people first. Add a desire to win– and you get a culture that’s ambitious, fast-moving, and built on trust.
Our brands – including AutoTrader, OLX, Otomoto, Property24, and more – are loved by millions. And we’re backed by Prosus, one of the world’s largest tech investors.
Join OLX and see how far you can go.
We believe the future of our products sits at the intersection of AI and design. Our ambition is to become an AI-native organization, where intelligent systems and human-centered design come together to create faster, smarter, and more meaningful customer experiences. We’re rethinking how products are built, how experiences are shaped, and how teams deliver impact.
A key part of this transformation is creating the right foundations and infrastructure to enable high-quality experiences at scale - where design systems, patterns, and workflows are structured, scalable, and AI-readable, unlocking new levels of speed, consistency, and innovation.
The role
We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer to join our Product Design team. Reporting to the Product Design Manager, you will shape design strategy across product squads, own craft and quality standards, and mentor junior and mid-level designers. You’ll work at the intersection of design, code, and AI systems—using tools like Lovable, Claude, and Cursor to prototype and iterate. Beyond shipping product experiences, you’ll establish patterns, build systems thinking, and elevate the entire team’s capabilities in AI-native design. The output we expect is not just working artifacts: it’s strategic direction that raises design quality and team maturity across the organization.
What responsibilities will you get when working with us?
Lead design strategy across one or more product squads, translating business goals and user needs into coherent design direction that shapes product roadmaps and team priorities.
Use AI-native workflows to collapse the gap between strategy and production, prototyping and iterating directly in code rather than through static handoffs. Lead by example in adopting tools like Lovable, Claude, and Cursor for end-to-end design execution.
Establish and maintain high craft standards by defining foundational and reusable Agentic Experience patterns, designing scalable components for the design system (Nexus), and reviewing work to ensure quality and consistency.
Mentor and develop designers through critique, guidance, and structured feedback—helping them grow their craft, decision-making, and ability to work autonomously with AI-native tools.
Partner with Product and Engineering to align on experience strategy, success metrics, and technical feasibility—translating design insights into business outcomes and measurable impact.
Conduct user research and run experiments to validate design decisions. Define success metrics, gather feedback, and iterate fast—always balancing speed with quality and bias toward shipping.
Lead design reviews, brainstorming sessions, and strategic discussions with your design peers and cross-functional partners. Communicate design rationale clearly with data, influence decisions, and build alignment around priorities.
Identify gaps and opportunities for design improvement and innovation. Propose and champion new approaches to solving complex problems—whether through design systems improvements, new AI patterns, or cross-domain initiatives.
As a Senior Product Designer, you will need:
Proven experience in UX / Digital Product Design, with a strong portfolio that showcases shipped work, live prototypes, and measurable business impact—not just static screens. We kindly request that you share your portfolio in advance, as it is an essential part of our interview process. Unfortunately, we won’t be able to proceed with scheduling an interview without it.
Demonstrated expertise in AI-native design: you actively use AI tools (Figma Make, Lovable, Cursor, Claude, etc.) as a core part of your design practice and can teach others how to leverage them effectively.
Experience building or contributing to design systems, including code components. You understand how design decisions impact engineering implementation and can collaborate deeply with engineering teams.
Proven track record mentoring and developing designers. You give and receive candid feedback, help others improve their craft, and create psychologically safe environments for growth and experimentation.
Strong product and business thinking: ability to frame problems strategically, connect design decisions to business outcomes, and define success metrics that demonstrate measurable impact.
Excellent English communication and influence skills: you articulate design rationale clearly with data, facilitate complex discussions, and drive alignment across cross-functional stakeholders and leadership.
Growth mindset and adaptability: you thrive in ambiguity and rapid change, prioritize learning and impact over mastery of any specific tool, and are excited about emerging technologies and evolving design practices.
What can we offer you:
We don’t just talk about development. We fund it, structure it, and make space for it:
- Remote option: Flexibility to work from home in Portugal or Spain, and a possibility to join our offices in Lisbon and Barcelona.
- Rich package of benefits: Including an annual bonus, private healthcare, life insurance, and a flexible benefits.
- Unmatched growth opportunities: Access to an open selection of e-courses (Udemy, Coursera, etc.), extensive coaching/leadership programs, and internal mobility across markets and brands.
- Prioritized wellbeing: Unlimited therapy and coaching via BetterUp—because your mental health and wellbeing aren’t optional.
- Impactful work: A collaborative environment where your ideas will shape growth initiatives and have a real impact on millions of users every month.
