Help us build a highly collaborative design community by participating in design critiques and sharing feedback openly and constructively. What we’re looking for: 5+ years of professional product design experience shipping high‑quality, impactful product experiences. A self‑sufficient researcher with proven experience conducting user interviews, usability testing, and synthesis, turning those insights into actionable takeaways. Experience designing for AI‑native or AI‑augmented products. A strong visual eye, high attention to detail, and exceptional level of craft. A builder’s mindset and are comfortable working at the intersection of design and code, whether that be through front‑end development or vibe‑coding with AI tools. Excellent communication skills and the ability to articulate design rationale clearly, tell compelling product stories, and navigate stakeholder feedback with empathy. Ability to work with ambiguity and have a track record of cutting through complexity to deliver value quickly. How we work: Our culture is a key part of how we operate as well as our hiring process: We iterate quickly. As such, you must be comfortable embracing ambiguity, be able to cut through it and deliver incremental value to our customers each sprint.
