About You

You're likely to succeed in this role if you:

• Draw on all aspects of product design (IA, complex flows, motion, and visual design) to create cohesive, scalable growth experiences.

• Think in systems, designing growth and experimentation patterns that work across surfaces while maintaining clarity and consistency.

• Deliver consistent, polished layouts through strong typography, color, and visual hierarchy.

• Bring a commitment to experiment velocity, ideating and shipping experiments with speed and rigor while scaling learnings into reusable patterns.

• Partner effectively with Product Managers and Data Scientists on data-informed initiatives, using metrics such as activation rate and experiment lift to inform design decisions.

• Comfort operating in evolving, AI-augmented environments, with a focus on continuous learning and experimentation to improve velocity while maintaining a high craft bar.

• Demonstrate high emotional intelligence in cross-functional collaboration, contributing to a respectful, inclusive, and constructive design culture.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience designing consumer web and/or mobile products at scale, with a proven track record leading growth, onboarding, or experimentation programs.

• Strong portfolio demonstrating user-centered product thinking, polished visual craft, and thoughtful interaction design for complex ecosystems.

• Experience utilizing AI-powered design tools and generative workflows to accelerate exploration, prototyping, and asset generation.

• Demonstrated experience working on growth surfaces (onboarding, notifications, engagement loops) with a track record of shipping experiments that drove measurable DAU or engagement impact.

• Ability to own the quality bar for AI-assisted design work, ensuring high standards for craft and usability are maintained.
