• Strong interaction and systems thinking—you can untangle complex flows and design for edge cases.

• Deep understanding of user experience design principles and methodologies, including user research, wireframing, prototyping, and usability testing.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively with cross‑functional teams.
• Proven experience designing zero‑to‑one products or new platforms, demonstrating your ability to thrive in ambiguous environments and define new product spaces.
• Experience in e‑commerce, marketplace platforms, or supply chain management is a plus.

Benefits

• Generous holiday and time‑off policy.
• Health insurance options including medical, dental, and vision.
• Work‑from‑home support: home office setup allowance, monthly allowance for cell phone and internet.
• Care benefits: monthly allowance for wellness, annual allowance toward childcare, lifetime benefit for family planning (adoption or fertility expenses).
• Retirement: 401(k) offering for Traditional and Roth accounts in the US (employer match up to 4% of base salary) and pension plans internationally.
