What you'll do
- Lead the design on a project, from first prototypes to final hand-off to engineering.
- Prototype quickly in design sprints, getting ideas into a form the team can respond to.
- Take complex, half-formed problems and make them simple to use.
- Run the hands-on parts of a sprint: workshops, stakeholder interviews, research, user testing, and documentation.
- Present your work and the thinking behind it, to the team and to clients.
- Read the product data and let it sharpen your design.
- Set the craft standards others work to: guidelines, patterns, and the details that carry a product.
- Mentor other designers with specific, honest feedback that moves them forward.
- Work closely with engineers and product so the design ships fully and faithfully.
- Question the default, for clients and colleagues, and make the case for something better.
What we're looking for
- 4+ years designing end-to-end digital products
- Strong command of UI and UX fundamentals, and deep fluency in Figma.
- Interaction and motion skill to shape how the work feels, with tools like Framer, Principle, or After Effects.
- A portfolio with real strength in both UX and visual design, on products that shipped.
- The speed to prototype fast without letting quality slip.
- A talent for turning stakeholder goals, user research, and tangled flows into simple, clear interfaces.
- Clear, persuasive communication, whether you're in a client meeting or a team critique.
- A genuine appetite for feedback, and for getting better at the work and at how the team works.
