Senior Product Designer

Stoplight is hiring a Senior Product Designer that can take full ownership with end-to-end design. We are growing fast and looking to bring on exceptional team members to make an impact on how software teams build products. This person will thrive within a collaborative, ever-changing environment.

What is Stoplight?

Stoplight is the API design management platform powering the world’s leading API first companies. Stoplight helps organizations design, document, test, and govern their APIs. We are the first product to effectively cover the entire API development lifecycle.

Stoplight’s mission is to make any stakeholder working with an API more productive. We work with individual developers to large companies including EA, Spotify, Sendgrid, and many others.

Why we're doing this?

We created Stoplight because we found existing API solutions tools to be inadequate. After talking with thousands of users and growing to 500+ paying customers, it’s clear there is a massive void for Stoplight to become the must-have solution for any organization looking to streamline their API strategy.
