Responsibilities:
- Partner with product and engineering leaders to understand and balance innovation and technical feasibility with usability.
- Lead strategic design workshops to build confidence in our product direction. As an output you will also define validation metrics to understand the success of a design or feature.
- Create seamless, intuitive, and high-performing developer experiences that enhance efficiency and spark innovation.
- Conduct usability testing, either moderated or un-moderated, or use other validation methods.
- Be a key contributor to a software-product centric design system, defining design patterns, UI kits, guidelines, and custom tooling with your design colleagues and engineering users.
- Elevate our design culture by mentoring designers, refining processes, and championing best-in-class design practices.
Required Skills and Experience:
- You have a strong portfolio demonstrating your ability to create intuitive, elegant software interfaces. Whether you’ve worked at a startup, a tech giant, or somewhere in between, we care about your craft, problem-solving ability, and strategic thinking.
- A clear aesthetic understanding of visual design execution. You care about getting things right and you work closely with the engineering team to make sure your design is pixel perfect.
- You are fantastic at communicating your thinking and design decisions: you understand that storytelling is important in selling design.
- You're proficient in industry-standard design tools (Figma, Sketch, Adobe Suite), but more importantly, you’re adaptable and eager to learn new ones.
“Nice To Have” Skills and Experience:
Experience with B2B or technical tools is a plus! If you've designed for developers, engineers, or other specialized users, you can excel in this role. Above all, we value a deep curiosity for technology and a desire to design for technical users.
