Job Description

Overview

At Microsoft, we believe in the transformational power of design. Innovation only happens when we make things simple and fluid, and the UX disappears behind the achievements of our customers. That's where you come in. We're looking for a Senior Product Designer, who's driven by empathy for customers, to help us build the next generation of experiences that will simplify how millions of our customers live and work digitally.

The OPG Design Studio

The OPG (Office Product Group) Design Studio initiatives are at the forefront of creating and modernizing productivity experiences at Microsoft: from scaling the Fluent Design System to developing the next generation of collaboration with Loop or rethinking what a modern Microsoft 365 and Office experience looks and feels like, there's amazing and forward-thinking work happening here.

Our Culture

We believe that great teams are formed when everyone contributes to the culture. We share, collaborate, and contribute to each other's work to make it better. We re-use rather than reinvent. We celebrate successes, learn from failures and push boundaries constantly because we believe in the magic of bold ideas.

We are a global team, with team members working from home all around the world. We are committed to each team member feeling connected, regardless of where they work and live.

Come play with us!
