Responsibilities
Our design team is a tight-knit, collaborative team of product designers, UX researchers and visual designers guided by a highly iterative design process. We work fast, bias towards action, and aren’t afraid to fail. We’re supported by a management team that believes that design is a core pillar in our path to bring automation to everyone, and product and engineering teams that will go above and beyond to focus on what is best for the user.
We’re looking for a UX Designer who lives and breathes design systems. As the first hire dedicated to design systems, you’ll have the opportunity to shape the way we organize, maintain and use our design libraries. You’ll work with the rest of the design team to create a unified visual and interaction design language across the product.
