Overview
We’re looking for a self-motivated team player to join us in creating designs and documentation for our mobile applications. An ideal candidate will enjoy working in a fast-paced collaborative environment and gets the big picture without getting lost in the weeds. We’re a growing team. There’s no need to know everything off the bat but you will need to be willing to learn fast on the go. As part of the design team, you will also partner regularly with senior designers, engineering, QA, and other stakeholders. Strong collaborative and communication skills are essential for success. We also place a strong focus on documentation and any potential candidate should be comfortable in creating and maintaining many different design artifacts. As a design team, we try our best to strike a balance between creating user-centered designs and being mindful of other product needs such as customer requirements, engineering constraints, and time to market. An ideal candidate should know how to pick and choose their battles and fight for the most impactful features and designs.
