• Become an expert in restaurants’ needs by facilitating research with restaurant owners and staff.
• Work closely with a smart, collaborative remote team of product designers, product managers, sales, and engineers to deliver experiences that enhance restaurant productivity.

You enjoy solving complex design challenges and are a systems thinker. You have experience designing for web and have an exceptional portfolio that showcases a breadth of product design work. You also have:

• 4+ years of experience designing for enterprise, growth teams or have solved for very complex and ambiguous spaces
• Obsessed with optimizing front of funnel experiences
• Balancing rapid, build-to-learn experimentation with longer term, practical design thinking
• Strong interaction design and systems thinking
• The ability to negotiate, prioritize, and break down design work into measurable outcomes while advocating for the user
• Strong curiosity and willingness to learn from others
• An appetite and appreciation for feedback from stakeholders and peers
• Led user research and can link research findings to designs
• The ability to manage time effectively and can self-direct to deliver against agreed-upon commitments
• Experience collaborating with product managers and engineers in an agile environment
• Strong written and verbal communication skills and can clearly articulate design decisions
• Experience working with remote teams
• Expertise in Figma and other prototyping tools
