The Role

    • You are comfortable showing and then balancing the trade-offs between branding, aesthetics, standards, usability, and function.

    • You know what not to compromise and how compromise helps you and everyone else win.

    • You have learned how to conduct design critiques and not take design feedback personally.

    • You will collaborate closely with our product managers and engineering teams during each sprint to make judgment calls as business and engineering constraints arise, with a bias towards shipping valuable work each sprint and iteratively improving on it later.

    • You will work closely with market research teams to understand user needs and
    then elucidate the vision for the product.

    • Your work will be woven into our agile product process, in most cases preceding it and showing us the way forward.
