    Requirements

    • •Strong alignment with company values
    • •Proficient in English at CEFR Level C2 / ILR Level 5
    • •5–7+ years of product design experience with systems-level thinking: shipped 0→1 work, complex multi-user flows, and evidence of shaping product direction
    • •Experience as the most senior designer on a product area—setting direction, making tradeoffs, and owning outcomes without constant guidance
    • •Strong prototyping skills—building clickable, realistic prototypes
    • •Proficiency in Figma for high-fidelity design and collaboration
    • •Exceptional written and verbal communication skills for explaining complex ideas, influencing decisions, and aligning teams asynchronously
    • •Comfortable designing in ambiguity and building conviction through iteration
    • •Active, evolving AI workflow using AI tools in design process

    What You'll Do

    • •Own a product area end-to-end: identify opportunities, frame the problem, set design direction, and ship—operating as a peer to Product and Engineering, not a downstream executor
    • •Design complex, multi-step product flows that serve multiple user types—balancing creator needs against member experience, and making sophisticated behavior feel simple
    • •Prototype and test at speed—using AI-assisted tools, code-generation workflows, and whatever gets you to a testable concept fastest
    • •Influence product strategy beyond your own surface: contribute to roadmap conversations, flag opportunities other teams miss, and connect dots across the product
    • •Drive the craft standard on your area—interaction design, visual quality, and the small details that separate polished product from “good enough”
    • •Collaborate closely with engineers and design engineers to turn concepts into working, shippable experiences—not hand off specs and hope
    • •Raise the bar for the broader design team through feedback, shared frameworks, and the quality of your own output

    Nice to Have

    • •Experience using AI-assisted prototyping tools like Cursor, Claude Code, v0, or Lovable

    Benefits

    • •U.S.-benchmarked compensation globally
    • •Equity in the company with ongoing refresh grants
    • •35 days of paid time off each year
    • •Remote-only team with twice a year company retreats in incredible destinations
    • •Incredible flexibility and autonomy
    • •Benefits package supporting health, wellbeing, and professional growth
