About the Job
As a Senior Product Designer II working on Commerce Platform, you’ll have the unique opportunity to transform how people engage with affordability at scale.

Your work will help customers understand and unlock savings, optimize the way offers and discounts are applied, and bring clarity to loyalty programs and payment options.
Day-to-day, you’ll collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to design holistic product flows, focusing on usability, impact, and scalability.

Whether building flexible systems for promotions, introducing innovative payment integrations, or reimagining loyalty interactions, you’ll play a pivotal role in creating meaningful, value-driven experiences.
