Cash flow positive with rapid growth, we pair exclusive Engine-only rates, industry-leading rewards, and intelligent automation to help businesses save money while delivering world-class personalization and convenience.

About the Role
Design at Engine is made up of 35+ incredible product designers, creatives, art directors, brand managers, and leaders driving product vision and shaping a design culture like no other. Designers at Engine are part of what we call the Big 4—the core team of product, design, engineering, and data that drive the roadmap and vision for their area. Together, you'll shape strategy for your area and ship features that have immediate and lasting impact on the product. Successful designers at Engine chase opportunities, have strong conviction, and hold a high bar for product excellence.
The Flights team owns Engine's flight booking experience from first search to final selection. As a Staff Product Designer, you'll set the design bar for Flights Search—shaping how millions of travelers discover, compare, and choose the right flight, fast, confidently, and without friction.
This is a hands-on, technical, AI-native role at the heart of our business. You'll design systems and patterns that scale: ones that look elegant, ship at scale, and reduce design dependency rather than create it. You'll partner with product and engineering at the architecture layer and model what AI-native design looks like for the whole team.
We're looking for someone who's already ahead of the curve: building prototypes in code, running Cursor and Figma Make as daily tools, and designing components that let PMs and EMs ship independently without waiting on design. Someone who gets excited about refining a high-volume product surface and who demonstrates craft through self-initiated improvements, not just assigned work.
If you love designing the moment where intent turns into action, and you want to do it at massive scale with serious technical depth, this role is for you.
Here's what you'll do:
- Partner across disciplines to define and deliver features that meet real user needs.
- Model AI-native ways of working for the Flights team, showing what's possible, not just talking about it.
- Turn complex ideas into clear, simple flows.
- Design for the best outcomes.
- Build trust and collabor
