Product Designer
Do you want to empower organizations to fairly and equitably hire, promote, retain and compensate their employees? Syndio is a Series-C technology company committed to fairness in the workplace. Fueled by investments of $83M from Bessemer Ventures, Voyager Capital and social change organization Emerson Collective, Syndio is investing in growing our team and products.
This is a critical moment when organizations are looking for ways to take tangible action to fight gender and racial bias, and we believe creating diverse and inclusive workplaces for all starts with fair pay.

- You have user empathy and can deeply understand users’ problems and needs and how they’ll interact with your designs

- You align with our company’s core values of candor, humility, adaptability, curiosity and trust.
Impact
- Within 1 month, you will be familiar with the product, as well as our design system and component library. You’ll get to know key members of the team and build the foundations for strong relationships. You’ll understand our users’ needs and behaviors.
- Within 3 months, you’ll collaborate closely with a product manager and engineers to ship a small feature that incorporates feedback from stakeholders in the company, as well as from users.
- Within 6-12 months, you’ll be ramped up and regularly shipping features and enhancements. You’ll serve as a key player on the team, helping to drive the roadmap forward. You’ll be contributing to the design discipline and proposing ways to improve processes and tools.
