-Experience designing for software developers, with an understanding of how great design can cut through the skepticism of this audience.
-Experience working directly in Figma to prototype your ideas, collaborate with others, and present your work.
-Skilled at explaining the story behind your designs, and proactive and clear in how you communicate in meetings and in Slack.
-An ability to work on multiple projects simultaneously and a love for creative challenges.
-Grace under pressure and a high degree of comfort with the ambiguity that comes with being part of an early-stage startup.
