What's the opportunity? ?

We’re looking for a talented Product Designer to help turn our mission from vision to reality, working from the beginning to the end of product building, from new disruptive ideas to detailed iterations on microinteractions. We believe in a high Designer to Engineer ratio and need to grow our Product Design team to work with our growing Engineering team. Intercom is a design led company and an empowering place for designers to work.

What will I be doing? ?

• As a key member of the Product Design team, you will own an entire product area, drive it end to end from product strategy to execution. You will partner with Product Management and Engineering. You will also collaborate with other designers to make their work and the whole team better
• Work through design problems from beginning to end: translating research insights into ideas that form disruptive new products and features, then designing the workflows and detailed interactions to realize them
• Sketch and prototype ideas to quickly access viability, and design the fine grained details of interactions
• Iterate based on feedback from the whole team
• Work closely with engineers as they build and ship ideas
• Own the success or failure of their design work and initiate design and engineering sprints to improve shipped work
• Write about, present, and share what they have learned, both internally and with the wider community via our blog, books, and events

What skills do I need? ?

• Experience designing digital products and systems, not just websites. You have helped ship products
• An appreciation of the entire product development process, from problem solving through to detailed UI and visual design
• The ability to create beautiful high-fidelity mockups of your designs using Sketch, Figma, etc
• The ability to create prototypes using Framer, Keynote, HTML/CSS/JS, etc
• Excellent communicator of design work and your rationale behind proposals
• Excellent self starter who can deeply collaborate with engineers

We're looking for a portfolio that clearly outlines the problems you were tackling with your design work. It should touch on the process you applied to tackling the challenges, rather than focusing just on visuals and landing pages. Your portfolio should be well structured and clear. Your experience should ideally focus on designing software products.
