As a Senior Product Designer, you'll be surrounded by smart, ambitious and caring teammates that want to build great things, together. You'll own the experience of key areas in our software.

With our feedback-driven culture, you'll run workshops to get project input while offering helpful advice of your own to others.
We're looking to see you flex your understanding of our business, users and industry in addition to designing beautiful UI. You'll have the chance to demonstrate your Product Design acumen through example - leveraging your strong aptitude, rigor and application of all of your craft skills. We're amped to hear your favorite quantitative and qualitative research methods. We can't wait to see your prototypes in Figma or even code. No doubt we'll learn new design practices from you, too!
