- Present and communicate lo-fi mockups, interaction design, hi-fi user flows, prototypes, and other design docs to the product team, stakeholder groups, and organizational leadership
- Be able to clearly articulate design rationale and prioritize feedback to iterate rapidly as we learn more through the design exploration process
- Be able to influence and gain alignment from others while being accountable for bringing critical thinking and product design strategy into all product design work
- Ship experiences that are delightful to our users
- Deeply understand and empathize with our users’ needs and painpoints
Minimum Qualifications
- 10+ years UI/UX experience in a software product team: prototyping, designing, and shipping full-stack software products
- Expertise designing across a diversity of platforms - web, mobile, responsive, AR/VR
- Expertise creating, owning, and evolving the information architecture (IA) of large complex applications
- Expertise in UI/UX wireframing and design tools, such as Sketch and Figma
Key Qualifications
Preferred Qualifications
- Demonstrated ability of taking a user-centric approach in everything you do to define, test, and iterate on UI/UX (e.g. user research, usability studies, A/B testing)
- Demonstrated ability to build and maintain design systems and frontend component systems at scale
- Excellent written and oral communication skills
- Excellent collaborative skills, and demonstrated ability to work cross-functionality with developers and other designers
