Product Designer

About Mynd:

Mynd is a tech-enabled real estate company serving an $85B+ property management and real estate investment market. In the past few years, financial services disruptors like E-Trade, Schwab, and Robinhood have unlocked access to the stock market, minting a new generation of self-service investors. Yet we at Mynd believe that real estate remains the most powerful tool for building generational wealth.

We’re on a mission to create happy homes and healthy investments by offering best-in-class property management services and making SFRs as accessible and effortless as other types of investments. Investing in real estate can be intimidating, especially for first-time buyers. Plus, many potential investors don’t want to invest in real estate in their geographic area or have been priced out of competitive big city housing markets. Through localized operations in 25 markets across the US, and real-time insights via our platform, we remove the time, communication, and geographic barriers traditionally associated with real estate. Investors can now find, purchase, rent, manage, and sell single-family rental properties 100% remotely.

Mynd was named the #1 fastest-growing private company in the Bay Area by the San Francisco Business Times in 2020. We’ve attracted talent from Starwood Waypoint Homes, McKinsey, Shift, Better, BCG, One Medical, Zillow, Upwork, and Facebook. We’re backed by top VCs, including Lightspeed, Canaan, and Jackson Square, and just announced a $5 billion deal with Invesco Real Estate that will make us the largest buyer of single-family rental homes in the country. Most importantly, we’re a kind and fun team of innovators who truly enjoy ushering in a new generation of real estate investors.

About the role:

You will be joining our fast growing design team that's still small and close enough that you will get a chance to shape how Design is done within Mynd. A great opportunity for visionaries who want to make an impact!

In this role you will be joined by another designer to create the user experience for our residents and applicants of the homes that we manage. This will include working on our flagship Resident App, an online Application Wizard, as well as building a brand new real-estate listing product. You will do it with the full support of our experienced product managers, inquisitive data analysts and UX researchers, brilliant engineers and the rest of the Design Team who always got your back!

Responsibilities: What you'll do!

• Use your artistic eye and good taste to design beautiful and usable UI components that will take our interface to the next level
• Use your analytical mind and intelligence to discover how to improve the user experience for everyone using our platform and apps
• Work in Figma to design and prototype new features, flows and entire products using our Design System (MyndBlox)
• Constantly communicate with Product Managers, Engineers and Business partners to ensure all the designs are implemented to specifications
• Participate in internal design critiques and present your work to the rest of the stakeholders
• Conduct usability testing and user research with our Mynders, investors, residents, applicants and vendors

Qualifications: What'll get your foot in the door!

• 5+ years of experience in UX/UI design
• Mastery in Figma preferred, but if you’re an expert in Sketch or Adobe XD, that works as well
• Experience working on complex SaaS products
• Always a plus if you’re good in icon design and illustration
• We are using Jira and Notion to manage our products, so if you’ve worked with those platforms before, it'll be easier
• We’d love to review a detailed portfolio of your work, especially if it includes some UX case-studies that describe the thought processes behind the design decisions (user-flow diagrams, stakeholder interviews, etc..)
• Fluency in English
• This is mostly a remote position, but our office is in Oakland, California, so you should be available to work more-or-less during North American business hours

Any offer of employment is conditioned upon the successful completion of a background investigation.
