Product Designer (Staff/Principal-level)

Synthesia is the world’s leading AI video platform for business, used by over 90% of the Fortune 100. Founded in 2017, the company is headquartered in London, with offices and teams across Europe and the US. As AI continues to shape the way we live and work, Synthesia develops products to enhance visual communication and enterprise skill development, helping people work better and stay at the center of successful organizations. Following our recent Series E funding round, where we raised $200 million, our valuation stands at $4 billion. Our total funding exceeds $530 million from premier investors including Accel, NVentures (Nvidia's VC arm), Kleiner Perkins, GV, and Evantic Capital, alongside the founders and operators of Stripe, Datadog, Miro, and Webflow. The role: We’re looking for a Staff/Principal Product Designer to lead design for Synthesia’s core creation and editing experience: the surfaces where customers script, build, iterate, collaborate on, and publish videos at scale. This area is central to redefining how video is created: removing the need for traditional editing while increasing the quality and consistency of what customers can produce. You’ll operate as a senior IC: setting direction, influencing roadmap decisions (not just contributing), shaping bets with Product and Engineering leaders, and raising the craft bar across the entire creation experience - not just our editor. We’re building a video creation platform for everyone, not a specialist tool. We see a future where Synthesia sits alongside word processors, presentation software, and spreadsheets as a staple used by many. That means we need to move beyond the prevailing paradigms of video creation and invent new ones that are powerful without being complex. In practice, this role is about core editor / creation platform problems, for example: Designing canvas + timeline/editor workflows that feel approachable on the surface and powerful in depth.
