Senior Product Designer

Are you a design expert? Are you looking to join a cross functional product team in creating world-class experiences that help people find and enjoy a home of their own? If you want to pursue your professional goals as you help grow an innovative real estate tech company, this work is for you. Join us as our newest Senior Product Designer, Client Experience in our Promotions and Branding team and help change the world of real estate, one home at a time.

We are looking for a Senior Product Designer to play an integral role in the performance and operation of a high-functioning product team. This role is expected to partner with the Product Manager and Engineering Lead from start to finish, from initial research and understanding of user problems, through scoping and the creation of user flows, all the way to polished pixels, shipped to the hands of our 100 million unique consumers and real estate professionals. 

To be successful in this role, you will need to confidently partner with your cross-functional team throughout the full product lifecycle with a high degree of comfort in all interaction & visual design activities, including contributing to the design system for our professional web & mobile apps.

You will join a supportive team of product designers crafting tools and services for Agent and Broker customers to help grow their businesses and better support their clients throughout the buying and selling journey. This role requires strong visual design skills, as you will be creating experiences that connect our consumer and client-facing platforms.
