You’d be a great fit for this role, if you:

• Are curious about our users and love chasing the “why, why, why” to deeply understand their issues and obsess over creative designs to solve them.

• Thrive in autonomy. You enjoy shaping the product, not just shipping it. You don’t always need a PRD to get started with your design explorations.

• Mentor and support others. You’ve guided designers at various levels, offering feedback, coaching, and support that helps them grow in craft, confidence, and impact.

• Establish and scale design best practices. You proactively define processes, patterns, and principles that elevate team output and ensure quality, consistency, and velocity across the product.

• Have 8+ years of experience designing SaaS products for Enterprise customers (startup experience preferred).

• Appreciate the holistic craft of product development. You can quickly build credibility with your product and engineering counterparts through a deep understanding of and respect for their disciplines.

• Care about the details. You pride yourself on delivering the best end-to-end user experience and would never say “improving that is out of scope for this project”.

• Outcomes over output. You thrive on creating user value and know when to follow a multi-step design framework v/s when to deploy a napkin sketch to unblock the team.

• Think big and deliver incrementally. You love dreaming of “big ideas,” but balance that by designing incremental experiences for our users at a high velocity.

• Strong POV. You can discern good products from great, and stakeholders rely on you to be the “taste test” for great designs.

Bonus Points

• You have experience with Tailwind and are comfortable writing or editing HTML and CSS.

• Experience with shepherding your work through GitHub pull requests and giving feedback on the code our engineers are writing for your designs.

Note: The application requires you to submit a strong portfolio showcasing your work in high fidelity.
