Team Values

• We support each other’s success. We take it as both an individual and a team responsibility to foster an environment of support and learning. We are resources to each other; we share knowledge regularly, share feedback freely, and coach each other as peers. We support each other through challenging situations, pick each other up when we make mistakes, and celebrate our wins together.

We look to highlight our individual strengths and find ways to incorporate them into our research practice.

• We are flexible. We have the flexibility to approach our work using the techniques and methods appropriate to the problem at hand. At the same time, we can rely on the systems and guidelines that we’ve developed to feel more confident that their decisions fit within our strategic direction.

• We are collaborative. We gather perspectives from our customers, our stakeholders, and our colleagues to help make informed decisions about the direction of our experience. We have a seat at the table, and we use it to facilitate richer discussions about our customer’s needs.

Responsibilities

• Work closely with other designers and developers to improve and maintain design consistency across other product areas. Experience and ownership with design systems a plus.

• Prototype features with user flows, wireframes, and high fidelity designs.

• Leverage usability testing methods to identify the right solutions for our customers.

• You have experience working in an agile product development environment. You know how to work with Product Managers and engineering leads to drive the right outcomes for our users and the business.

• You have experience designing for web apps and mobile apps in SaaS or marketplace companies - experience designing for data visualization products, search engines, or ad placement platforms a plus.
