User Experience Designer

Description

AppFolio is more than a company. We're a community of dreamers, big thinkers, problem solvers, active listeners, and multipliers. At every opportunity, we set the pace while delivering innovation built to carry real estate into the future. One in which every experience feels effortless, yet meaningful.

Because together, we have the power to create extraordinary outcomes for our customers, our communities, and ourselves.

We love where we work, and you can, too.

Conversations are at the heart of how our customers run their businesses. Property managers spend much of their time communicating with prospects- answering questions, scheduling showings, and building trust. The UX Designer for our Agentic AI Leasing product will design intuitive, business-focused, cross-channel (voice, text, web) experiences that optimize our customers' sales funnel, creating space for property managers to focus on the connections that matter most.

The ideal candidate will thrive in a highly collaborative environment, eager to apply Agile and Lean UX techniques while working on a small scrum team alongside Software Engineers, QA Engineers, and Product Managers to build innovative AI-driven solutions.

• Ongoing, close collaboration with team members during each sprint, including impromptu discussions, brainstorming, pairing, and conversation thread reviews
• Support the team as needed with wireframes, flow diagrams, and mock-ups to efficiently communicate and validate design ideas
• Facilitate user research to validate ideas and prototypes, and conduct ongoing usability testing of the working software
• Evangelize a cohesive user experience via the consistent use of UI patterns from our design system and participation in weekly Design Crits with the Leasing UX team.

Qualifications

• Strong technical aptitude, product common sense, and curiosity combined with a genuine love for products, people, and user experience
• Experience with a variety of UX deliverables (customer journeys, wireframes, user flows, mockups, prototypes, etc.), paired with a keen sense of when to choose the right tool(s) to communicate the design
• A portfolio of software design that demonstrates your design process, skills and creativity
