What You Bring

• 6–10+ years designing high-quality digital products, ideally in SaaS, analytics platforms, or AI-powered tools for reputable brands

• Strong visual taste: You sweat the details of typography, hierarchy, and layouts
• Experience designing for data-heavy, workflow-driven use cases
• Ability to create production-ready Figma designs and prototypes at speed
• Comfort working in high-velocity and ambiguity: You can define the problem as you design the solution
• Collaborative style: You work fluidly with Product and engineers and know how to drive alignment
• Clarity in communication: You can explain the “why” behind your decisions to both technical and non-technical audiences
• A portfolio that demonstrates systems thinking, product storytelling, and beautiful execution
• Strong ability to rapidly prototype new products or features

Bonus Points

• Experience designing tools for financial analytics, enterprise workflows, or healthcare users
