Are you the type of person who is passionate about design? Do you thrive on clean layouts and simple solutions? Do you love solving tricky problems via collaborative brainstorms with other great designers? Do you find yourself constantly noticing ways to make the things you interact with on a day to day basis more user-friendly? If so, you sound like you could be a great fit for our team.

In this Product Designer role, you will be responsible for multiple aspects of our flagship software product, Fuze Desktop. You’ll have end-to-end involvement in the process, meaning you’ll collaborate (early and often) with a product manager, own designs from early mock ups through polished final visual comps, and partner with engineering as your designs are built. You will also play a part in defining the long-term vision for your products, innovating on what we do and how we do it, to help differentiate our product and delight our users.
