THE OPPORTUNITY

What you’ll be working on

Our client's team is seeking a talented Senior Product Designer with strong UI skills and well versed in design systems!  

Imagine yourself in the 1970s or 80s thinking through how computing should look and feel for people who had never seen it before. That's what they're trying to do — Their designers create powerful, impactful experiences that enable users of all kinds at organizations to work effectively with data to orchestrate complex marketing campaigns driven by AI. Sometimes that means cutting through the noise and delivering highly streamlined, simple experiences and sometimes it means designing productivity tools for very technical audiences.

They're excited to be growing a team as diverse and creative as the millions of people they reach worldwide, and a company where everyone can thrive.

What you will do

• Design solutions to real problems and ship great features in their UI
• Craft every detail of new product features, from idea to UX to pixel-perfect execution.
• Work relentlessly to understand their customers
• Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering and product to craft thorough experiences that are a joy to use
• Work in the best medium for the stage of the product development lifecycle you're in, whether that be documents, mockups, prototypes, or presentations
• Orient solutions around clear goals, audiences, timeframes, and realistic technical capabilities while always pushing to deliver the best possible experience
• Participate in design reviews and share your work regularly with the design/product team and company leadership
• Create new patterns that are intuitive, practical, and convergent. Evolve their design system intentionally as they scale.

What they’re looking for

• You have well-rounded skills and experience to run projects independently end to end. 6+ years of working experience designing consumer or business SaaS applications (Enterprise product experience is a plus).
• You can create clear, intuitive, and visually appealing human interfaces. (UI)
• You can untangle vague conceptual problems, and have a sharp intuition for the most accessible mental models and flows, so users can immediately start gaining value from the product. (UX)
• You love making complex problems feel simple and seeing the larger system connect disparate pieces to visualize the user's journey
• You have experience in designing Data systems with complex information hierarchies and representing the output of AI 
• The design decision you make are data driven
• You can do basic coding in HTML + CSS + basic Javascript. (Even better if you're capable of the procedure or React-level Javascript.)
• You care about the business needs, implications, and practicality of your designs. You don't get stuck on pretty UI or deep abstractions and can balance between craft, speed, and the bottom line.
• You have strong beliefs, loosely held. You're a good listener who collaborates well with different stakeholders. You observe and internalize all inputs and feedback to help you reach an optimal decision.
• You like to tell stories using both words and visuals and strategize the best way to make your point.
• You have a strong portfolio that showcases your work, provides details of your role on projects, and shows examples of functional designs that you have developed from start to finish

Bonus points

• You have experience working in the data and AI space
• You have notion of motion design
• You've designed and built great tools with small teams in the past.
• You bring unique strengths and perspectives to the team. Our client is looking to build a diverse team where their skills and experience can complement each other.
• You can polish features in the codebase.** They love to hire designers who can code so there's less communication and hand-off cost with engineers. But this is optional, especially if you are super talented in designing the purest and easiest solution to hard product design problems, and rallying your teammates to execute it.*
• You've experienced the pain of fragmented tools and information silos created by them, and have a strong urge to fix it.
