We’re Looking For:

We are seeking a Product Designer with experience in end-to-end product design, user-centered research, and cross-functional collaboration. As a Product Designer, you'll be a key player on our product team, tackling complex problems and crafting elegant, user-friendly solutions. This role is about more than just making things look good. You'll drive the end-to-end design process, from initial research and discovery to final pixel-perfect execution. You'll partner closely with product managers, engineers, and stakeholders to understand user needs and business goals. While we have physical locations, we work remote, giving you the flexibility to do your best work from wherever you are.

You Are:

• Simplify the Complex: You have a proven track record of breaking down complicated workflows into simple, intuitive user experiences.
• Thoughtful: You don't just solve the immediate problem; you consider user feedback and design consistency across the broader system.

You Will:

• Take ownership of the user experience for assigned feature areas from concept to launch.
• Conduct user research, including interviews and usability testing, to inform your designs.
• Create design artifacts that build consensus—wireframes, prototypes, user flows, and high-fidelity mockups.
• Collaborate with engineers to ensure your designs are implemented to a high standard.
• Contribute to and utilize our design system to ensure consistency and efficiency.
• Champion a user-centric design culture within the organization.

Who You Will Work With:
