Задачи

Work closely with product managers, user researchers, engineers, and data analysts from the start to end of a feature. Create high quality designs, interactions, and prototypes to explore ideas in service of the best solution for the project (Wave uses Figma). Craft user research plans and work directly with our user researchers to identify problems and validate solutions in user testing. Contribute to Wave’s design system and component library. Talk to customers and find solutions to their problems by thinking critically from their perspective. Communicate the reasoning behind your product decisions in review sessions and in conversation with PMs. Prototype visual and UX concepts and iterate towards the right solution (Wave uses Claude for mobile prototyping with Android apks).

Требования

• Experience with low and high-fidelity design & prototyping with LLMs on Android mobile apps
• Fluency in English.
• At least 6 years of end-to-end in-house experience, with a consumer focus on product design with mobile apps.
• Excellent visual and interaction design skills, with an eye at removing friction from flows
• Attention to detail and high level of visual craft
• Strong illustration and animation skills.
• We use After Effects and Lottie at Wave but anything that can be converted to a Lottie file works
• Ability to deliver high-quality designs with speed and polish
• Bias towards action.
• Identify UX improvements without waiting for the perfect conditions
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills
• Ability to think through complex interaction design as well as thinking about tradeoffs of each solution

• Can iterate separate concepts quickly to user test design bets.
• The ability to move fast and update designs based on customer feedback is an important quality we’re looking for
• Think carefully about in-the-weeds details and their role within the design system
• Feel comfortable anticipating and designing for edge cases
• Enjoy pairing with designers, engineers, and product managers
• Are excited to learn about how all our products work together
• Будет плюсом: French language skills are a plus; Can speak, read, and write in French.

Outside of this 1 week immersion, you’ll also travel to a market country with our product design lead and PMs, for a total of travel 2x a year. You’re highly encouraged to visit market counties more often!

• We also provide a yearly stipend of $1,200 USD to meet with coworkers every year.
