What you’ll do

  • Advocate for the end user. Naturally, the customer is at the heart of everything we do. Deeply understand customer needs, perspectives and goals, by talking to customers regularly, getting involved in research initiatives, running your own evaluative testing, participating in our community, and responding to customer feedback. Use design methods like personas, journey maps, etc to build a shared understanding of the customer with your team.

  • Design solutions across our product experience. Balance customer problems with business goals and technical constraints, and utilize skills across research, user experience, interaction, and visual design to design solutions. Take a collaborative and iterative approach to make solutions stronger.

  • Contribute to our product vision. Facilitate input from engineers, product managers, leadership, and other designers, and take a journey-based approach to designing the end state. Work with your product team to pragmatically prioritize and scope work.

  • Pair closely with engineers. Sweat the details on the implementation of designs to ensure a high quality product experience.

  • Contribute to our design system. Work closely with designers and engineers to create and evolve patterns and components to be shared across different parts of the product experience.

  • Contribute to our design team culture. We’re a small but rapidly growing design team. Some things that are top of mind include how we scale our design rituals and design system, how we maintain our high quality bar as the product team grows, how we work on cross-product problems, and pair on problems together.
