WHY IS DESIGN IMPORTANT TO US

In a space where complexity seems to always peak out from every corner, designers play a crucial part in collapsing that complexity for our everyday users. We look to our design team to tell stories in an effort to help us understand what the problems are and what levers we can pull to drive those solutions forward.

Here at Extend, design's role doesn't stop at polished interfaces or tightly packed user flows - it's a foundational pillar that works alongside Product and Engineering to push the company forward in an effort to continue innovating and scaling.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As a member of the Product Design team here at Extend, we'll be looking to you to shape every facet of the product across our web, iOS, and Android platforms. While the role has a huge emphasis on cross-functional collaboration, your ideas will inspire the product roadmap as well as evolve us as a design organization.

While our product has a high focus on utility, being the kind of creative designer who looks for ways to add personality and energy to complex interfaces and flows is important. At Extend, we emphasize the notion that design should enable users to more easily complete the task at hand, and we're always looking for ways to make our product a delight to use. Be ready to delve into nuanced interactions, micro copy, and iconography.

If you're passionate about transforming complexity into clarity, crafting delightfully intuitive user experiences, and learning from users through testing and experimentation, we encourage you to apply-even if you don't meet every qualification listed.

This is a hybrid role, based out of our New York City office, with three days on-site.

When sharing your portfolio, please include the password if one is required.

IN THIS ROLE, YOU WILL

• Take ownership and lead design across various disciplines for significant parts of our product, from concept to launch
• Partner closely with Product and Engineering leads to align on problems and solutions
• Collaborate cross-functionally with product, engineering, and other partners to influence roadmaps and ship thoughtful, high-quality experiences
• Develop high-fidelity prototypes
• Immerse yourself in user feedback, UX research, and data to pinpoint areas of friction and seek opportunities for enhancement
• Create user tests and run user interviews for upcoming ideas or features we just launched
• Work within and contribute to our existing design system
• Lead engaging design critiques and mentor others in design thinking and execution

ABOUT YOU

• 8+ years of design experience, with a strong portfolio of shipped B2B and / or B2C products
• A great design sense shown in examples of UI / UX portfolio work
• Exceptional ability to articulate design problems and decisions
• Exceptional written and spoken communication skills-you clearly articulate rationale behind design decisions and collaborate effectively across teams
• Experience working cross-functionally in an agile environment with engineering, marketing, and product management teams
• Experience getting stakeholder feedback and buy-in across departments
• Experience with hands on UX and visual design, working in a fast paced, iterative environment
• Deep foundation of design principles such as balance, contrast, hierarchy, proximity, unity, affordance, feedback, and typography
• Experience working with design systems in Figma
• Bonus : experience mentoring other designers and helping scale design in both B2B and B2C companies

WHAT WE OFFER

• A competitive compensation package
• Equity for all-our success is your success
• Unlimited vacation-and we want you to use it
• 401K matching
• Flexible work options
• Comprehensive health coverage for you and your family, effective day one of employment
• Maternity and paternity leave benefits
