We’re a technology company building the world’s most advanced—and uncomplicated—digital marketplace for used vehicles.

We’re a data company helping customers buy and sell smarter with clear, actionable insights they can understand and use.

And we’re an innovation company accelerating the future of wholesale remarketing through curiosity, collaboration, and an entrepreneurial spirit.

Our Values :

Driven Waybuilders. We pursue challenges that inspire us to build, create, and innovate.

Relentless Curiosity. We seek to understand and improve our customers’ experience.

Smart Risk-Taking. We transform risk into progress through data, experience, and intuition.

Fearless Ownership. We deliver what we promise and learn along the way.

We’re Looking For :

We are seeking a Sr. Product Designer with experience in end-to-end product design, user-centered research, and cross-functional collaboration. As a Sr. Product Designer, you'll be a key player on our product team, tackling complex problems and crafting elegant, user-friendly solutions. This role is about more than just making things look good. You'll lead the end-to-end design process, from initial research and discovery to final pixel-perfect execution. You'll partner closely with product managers, engineers, and stakeholders to understand user needs and business goals. While we have physical locations, we work remote, giving you the flexibility to do your best work from wherever you are.

You Are :

Confident. You can independently drive the design process from start to finish for complex features or products.

Mentor-minded. You're a coach to other designers, providing constructive feedback and helping to grow the skills of your teammates.

Simplify the complex : You have a proven track record of breaking down complicated workflows into simple, intuitive user experiences.

Strategic. You don't just solve the problem in front of you; you think about the broader system and the long-term impact of your design choices.

You Will :

Take ownership of the user experience for a specific product area, from concept to launch.

Conduct user research when necessary, including interviews and usability testing, to inform your designs.

Create design artifacts that build consensus - wireframes, prototypes, user flows, and high-fidelity mockups.

Collaborate with engineers to ensure your designs are implemented to a high standard.

Contribute to and evolve our design system to ensure consistency and efficiency.

Champion a user-centric design culture within the organization.

Who You Will Work With :

• Reporting to the Director of Product Design, this role will collaborate regularly with Product Managers, Engineers, and Business Stakeholders to ensure user needs and business goals are met.
• Partner with cross-functional teams on a daily basis.
• Mentor junior designers and contribute to design team growth.

Must Haves :

• 5+ years of experience as a Product Designer or similar role.
• A strong portfolio showcasing your product design process and demonstrating your ability to solve complex problems on a variety of device types and surfaces.
• Expertise in design and prototyping tools.
• Experience designing for B2B or complex enterprise applications is a plus.

Nice to Haves :

• Experience designing for B2B or enterprise applications.
• Prior experience contributing to or managing design systems.
• Familiarity with wholesale or automotive marketplaces.
