About Super.com

We started Super.com to help maximize lives–both the lives of our customers and the lives of our employees– so that everyone can experience all that life has to offer. For our employees, our promise is that Super.com is more than just a job; it’s an opportunity to unlock one’s potential, where learning is celebrated and impact is realized.

We are more than a fast-paced, high-growth tech company; we care about our people and take career progression seriously. This is your career and our aim is to supercharge it through the people, the work, and the programs that fuel who we are.

About the role

This role will be responsible for working across the organization to build and maintain a comprehensive design system for Super.com’s products across web and mobile app. Your designs will help unlock the potential, and speed, for all product teams at Super.com through our design system. You will set the quality standards, guidelines, documentation, and governance to uphold the quality standards of our products. You will think and work strategically, using repeatable and scalable design system elements to bring cohesion across all aspects of the digital product.

What you’ll be working on:

• As a Principal Product Designer leading the design system across Super.com, you will own the evolution of the design system. You will maintain the components, component library, patterns, stand up processes and guidelines across web and mobile app, and evangelize adoption.
• You identify, find, implement cross-functional process efficiencies and improvements, and work across the org to implement and improve its use over time.
• You collaborate closely with peer product designers, brand designers, and engineers on initiatives that improve the experience for our customer, and improve how our product teams design and build day-to-day using the design system.
• You care about partnering and collaborating effectively through documentation, office hours, and pairing with fellow designers and engineers.
• You can quickly iterate and communicate ideas across various levels of fidelity, and can receive and provide feedback constructively.
• You continuously advocate for the importance and value of a cohesive design system within the organization, and foster a culture of design excellence and innovation. You monitor industry trends and best practices to incorporate into the design system.
• You leverage data and conduct research when relevant to gather feedback to continually improve and evolve the design system and our products.
• You will collaborate with other designers and engineers to ensure the design system is consistently applied across all products and that it meets the needs and goals of the business.
• Help mentor and coach our product design team to elevate the quality of design standards across Super.com products.
• Help develop team processes and find opportunities to level up our design practice.

Who we’re looking for:

• 6+ years of product design experience building products & apps and working with engineering teams to take ideas from conception through execution across web and mobile app
• 2+ years experience in building and maintaining design systems
• Experience working on “0-1” consumer products in a startup environment
• Proven product design skills that value the craft and quality of the visual design and user experience (hierarchy, layout, interactions, etc.)
• Technical understanding of how to design across various breakpoints, devices, and can bridge the gap between design and code
• Experience leveraging user research and quantitative data to inform decisions
• Strong proficiency with Figma (our primary tool) and other tools for design and documentation (Notion, Google suite, confluence, etc.)
• Experience mentoring and coaching designers
• Strong communication, and cross-functional/cross-org collaboration skills, with experience influencing to drive improved user experience

Bonus points for:

• Strong visual design skills
• Experience creating engaging icons and animations that bridge the brand identity, user experience, and business needs
• Prototyping skills in Figma or other design tools
• You are on the forefront of industry trends, incorporating best practices while also experimenting with unproven, but potentially game-changing, methods

We’ve got you covered:

• We are remote first: You have the flexibility to work from around the world and the hours that make sense for you– so that you can do your best work while living life on your own terms
• Other perks include: unlimited PTO, recharge days, travel discounts on SuperTravel, Weekly UberEats credit, annual company offsites
• We welcome new family additions with generous parental leave and a flexible return-to-work plan
• Competitive salary packages, equity options, great benefits from day one, wellness budgets, as well as personal and team-level development budgets
• This is just scratching the surface– see our careers site for a more detailed overview of our perks & benefits

$141,000 - $204,000 a year
