Responsibilities

• Work in close collaboration with other researchers, designers, writers, product managers and UI engineers to design products that have low friction to adoption and are delightful to use

• Develop low and high fidelity mockups and prototypes to effectively articulate your design decisions.

• Produce polished visual design specs that are clear and directed

• Iterate through design feedback from internal stakeholders and customers

• Gauge the usability of new and existing features and make constructive suggestions for change.

• Own your features. You can think through edge-cases, refine specs, find reasonable design solutions, and work with engineers to build them.

• Leverage analytics tools to measure success, present opportunities, and support decision-making

• Write clear and concise copy for your projects

• Be a constant user advocate, in every aspect of your work.

Requirements

What we are looking for:

• Minimum 5 years of UX design experience, preferably in designing complex products. A Bachelor’s/ Master’s degree in Design is an added advantage.

• A strong portfolio of your past work that details your challenges, ideas, and impact. We are specifically looking for projects that went into production where you’ve distilled a complex problem into a simple interface. What were your considerations/constraints? What was the impact of your work? As this is a Senior designer role, your projects should show that you’re capable of leading designs on full features, and demonstrate that you are capable of understanding systems.

• Experience using tools such as Figma. Knowledge of basic HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript is a bonus, but not required. Ability to prototype simple animations of your design in Codepen is also a good to have.

• A solid grasp of user-centered design and testing methodologies. Ability to define research questions and work with our User Researcher on best methods to answer them.

• Ability to effectively present and justify design decisions to stakeholders. All justifications should be grounded in design/psych theories/ research/ analytics.

• Awareness of current and upcoming design patterns and the ability to critique them.

• Ability to function independently, be self-directed and to thrive in ambiguity. 

• Team player, willing to help and share knowledge with team members, open to feedback and constructive criticism.

• Experience mentoring junior designers and contributing in developing the design practice within an organization. We are still a young team and looking for people whose past experiences can help us grow.
