Qualifications

• 3+ years of product design experience shipping consumer or professional mobile apps for iOS and/or Android.
• A portfolio that demonstrates end-to-end ownership of shipped product work, including problem framing, user flows, wireframes, high-fidelity UI, prototypes, and iteration from user feedback or product data.

• Present design rationale clearly to stakeholders, including leadership, and incorporate feedback while staying focused on the user problem.
• Collaborate with other designers on critique, systems thinking, and shared UX patterns across the product.
• Design accessible mobile experiences, applying platform accessibility standards across interaction, hierarchy, typography, color, and touch targets.
• Partner with engineers through implementation and QA to ensure shipped experiences match intended behavior and edge cases.
