About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer who thrives at the intersection of usability and design strategy. You'll lead design projects for both our customer-facing app and internal tools used by our operations and commercial teams, ensuring seamless and scalable experiences across the board.

You’ll work closely with the company’s Founder to continue our mission to build the most loved on-demand delivery experience in the world. You’ll thrive here if you’re driven by deep user empathy, passionate about thoughtful design, and able to move fast without compromising craft or clarity.
