Why Divvy?
Over the past decade, millions of Americans have been forced to put their dreams of homeownership on hold. Home prices have outpaced wage growth while mortgage requirements continue to tighten. As a result, renters are missing out on a critical wealth-building opportunity: owning a home.
At Divvy, we're building an on-ramp to homeownership – one that's more affordable, more flexible, and an overall better fit for the modern American family – and it’s working.
We are seeking a product designer that can help us take our consumer experience to the next level and rethink the way people buy a home!

Candidates should be comfortable conducting user research and lightweight user testing, rely heavily on both qualitative and quantitative data to make informed decisions, and have experience working in a team with other designers, product managers, and engineers.
