Hundreds of thousands of developers and QA professionals use Cypress to write better code faster and release with confidence.

Role Summary:

We are now looking to expand the design team in order to build a stronger brand and user experience to help shape the future of one of the most popular developer tools in the market.

During your first year your role will be broad and include:

Your direction will impact every aspect of Cypress as you strengthen the product by designing and directing the experience for the product, documentation, and the open-source test runner(s). You will work closely with each team (i.e. product, developer experience, customer success, design, and engineering) to help them with their initiatives and ensure that the final experience maintains a cohesive aesthetic and realizes your vision. This may include tasks such as:

  • Leading the vision for the user experience as developers engage with each product, and establishing the visual standards and guidelines for the design system used throughout the entire user experience.
  • Creating wireframes, visual designs, and prototypes to communicate the overall direction and recommendations for the user experience as new features are introduced.
  • Helping to design and maintain the components in the design system which is foundational to the brand and the overall user experience of Cypress.
  • Ensuring that the user experience of each product is intuitive and engaging throughout the entire journey of each Cypress user.
  • Improving the developer experience by putting yourself in the driver’s seat of the product and the test runners so that you can build first-hand experience on where design can have the immediate impact to improve the overall user experience of the product.
  • Participating in user research sessions to learn from customers on how they use the product, get their feedback on their experience, and present potential design solutions to get their feedback early in the design process.
  • Using design strategy to strike the right balance between business and customer needs.
  • Collaborating with other designers to provide detailed feedback on their work, and addressing any feedback that they have on your work.

Talent Attributes:

  • Self awareness: you seek to understand your own behaviors, actions, emotions and traits in an effort to continually improve and develop.
  • Collaboration: you work together towards a shared goal, not in service of individual needs.
  • Stage Appropriateness: you have experienced growth and scale and understand the impact it has on individual roles, decision making, prioritization and our vision.
  • Intrinsic Motivation: you are driven by an internal desire to achieve, succeed and contribute
  • Intellectual Curiosity & Agility: you have a perpetual need to learn new information, and with exposure to it you’re able to adopt and modify your thoughts, solutions and outcomes.

Role Attributes:

  • Analysis: you are able to balance quantitative and qualitative data to inform decisions in both a reflective and predictive manner. Experience with Excel required. 
  • Business Acumen: you drive initiatives from a strategic level through business goals and objectives. You create awareness in digging into the business details and by partnering closely with the organization.
  • Collaboration: you naturally embed yourself into the teams you work with and seek to become part of their organization.
  • Vulnerability: you create trust through vulnerability and honesty to form genuine relationships with employees built on transparency and advocacy. 
  • Innovation: you go beyond  “best practices” and discover new ways to solve challenges by diagnosing issues and gathering information. 
  • Communication: you value over-communication vs. under-communication. You make sure people are kept up to date on information, ensure everyone has a seat at the table and is heard. 
  • Project Management & Organization: must have structured and organized workflow, and ability to project manage lengthy projects with multiple deadlines and stakeholder needs.

Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of relevant experience in a similar role working with complex products and highly technical users.
  • Advanced experience with tools like Figma, Google Docs, etc.
  • Advanced understanding of developer workflows, testing, and test automation tools such as GitHub, GitLab, Cypress, Percy, CircleCI, Jenkins, etc.
  • A strong, visual aesthetic and the ability to lead the vision for the user experience.
  • A strong track record of managing projects and deadlines with multiple designers, engineers, product managers, etc.
  • An ability to communicate clearly and effectively about design ideas and implementation.
  • An ability to stay motivated when working independently or collaboratively.
  • A healthy appetite to learn and grow, and the desire to share your experience and mentor other designers.
  • A basic understanding of how your design decision translates into HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, which will be useful as you work with UI engineers to integrate your designs.
