• Actively contribute to product-level decision-making by participating in team meetings, cross-functional groups, and collaborative feedback sessions

• Consistently deliver work that is well-thought-out and aligned with project goals

• Demonstrate sustained productivity and meet project deadlines by accurately estimating the time required for tasks

• Set an example for designers in your orbit through mentorship and open, honest feedback

Qualifications:

As an applicant to this role, we ask that your portfolio demonstrates:

• 5+ years of relevant industry experience

• Experience shipping high-utility mobile or desktop applications, simplifying complex user flows, or delivering new product innovation that disrupted conventions

• Expert understanding of user-centered design principles and best practices

• Self-motivated problem solving with the ability to work on multiple projects simultaneously

• Ability to communicate complex concepts clearly and persuasively

• Hunger for innovation, fluidity with ideas, eagerness to challenge the status quo

• Strong interest in and aptitude for learning new technologies and design skills

• Strong work ethic, are reliable, adaptable, and collaborate well with others
