Design Contract

Design the console and the embeddable connect widget

Two surfaces carry this product: the console the SaaS team uses to manage domains, and the connect widget their end-users use to hook up a domain in about 30 seconds. This is a contract, portfolio-driven role for a designer who can make a technical flow feel calm and obvious. The connect widget in particular is a hard problem: it runs inside other people's products, it has to explain DNS without scaring anyone, and it has to fit brands that are not ours.

What you will do

Design the embeddable connect widget end to end: detecting a provider, showing what records will be written, confirming ownership, and reaching a verified, secured domain without confusion.
Design the console where SaaS teams see their connected domains, verification status, drift alerts, and webhook activity.
Turn genuinely technical states, such as pending propagation or a certificate issuing, into plain language and honest progress the user believes.
Build the widget so it adapts to the host product's brand while staying in our warm-stone, plainspoken visual language.
Design the empty, loading, and error states as carefully as the happy path, because in DNS the error states are where users actually live.

What we are looking for

A portfolio that shows product work, ideally flows with real technical complexity that you made feel simple.
Strong interaction and visual design, with real care for typography, spacing, and restraint.
The ability to design components that theme cleanly, since the widget lives inside other brands.
You write short, clear interface copy and treat it as part of the design.

Bonus

You have designed developer tools, dashboards, or onboarding flows.
You are comfortable in a design system and can hand off components engineers can build directly.
You have designed something embeddable that ran inside products you did not control.
