We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer with a strong focus on mobile design, who’s also comfortable working across web platforms and contributing to user research. In this role, you’ll take ownership of complex, ambiguous problems end-to-end, help shape our mobile design strategy, and partner with cross-functional teams and leadership to design intuitive, user-centered experiences that solve real problems.
You should bring deep expertise in mobile UI/UX principles, strong instincts for ambiguity, and the judgment to set direction rather than just execute against it. You’re someone who can turn a loosely defined problem into a clear point of view, then rally a team—including other designers—around it.
Responsibilities
•
Own the end-to-end design process for complex, high-impact mobile initiatives, from problem framing through shipped experience.
•
Set design direction and strategy for the mobile platform, partnering with product and engineering leadership on roadmap and prioritization.
•
Mentor other designers on the team, providing feedback and helping raise the bar for craft, process, and rigor.
•
Actively participate in design critiques and reviews at a high level, modeling best practices for the broader design team.
•
Collaborate closely with product managers, developers, and fellow designers to align design work with business goals and technical feasibility.
•
Embed with agile teams to deliver user experiences that are both beautiful and functional.
•
Create wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity designs to communicate ideas and iterate quickly.
•
Design seamless mobile (and web) experiences, ensuring consistency across platforms.
•
Engage with users to understand needs, gather feedback, and validate design decisions.
•
Plan and conduct user research, turning insights into actionable design outcomes.
•
Partner with product management to shape requirements and translate ambiguous problems into compelling, user-centric designs.
•
Collaborate with developers to test and validate that implemented features match design specifications and meet quality standards across iOS and Android platforms.
•
Contribute at a high level to our design system’s consistency, scalability, and speed—including setting standards other designers build on.
•
Stay current on design trends, tools, accessibility guidelines, and other best practices, and help the team adopt AI to increase overall efficiency and quality.
Requirements
•
5–7+ years of experience in product design or UX/UI roles, with a track record of increasing scope and ownership.
•
Strong portfolio showcasing end-to-end mobile-first design work, including at least one example of leading a project from ambiguity to shipped, measurable outcomes.
•
Demonstrated experience mentoring or leading other designers, formally or informally.
•
Proficiency in Figma and modern prototyping tools, with fluency in AI-assisted design and dev workflows (e.g., Claude, GitHub Copilot, Git/GitHub, VS Code, Xcode, Android Studio).
•
Deep understanding of user research methods, with experience designing and running research independently—not just applying others’ findings.
•
Experience designing responsive interfaces across multiple devices and platforms.
•
Strong UX writing and communication skills, including comfort presenting design rationale to leadership and cross-functional stakeholders.
•
Familiarity with native mobile UI frameworks (SwiftUI, Jetpack Compose).
•
Familiarity with iOS (Human Interface Guidelines) and Android (Material Design).
Nice to Have
•
Experience contributing to or scaling a mobile design system across multiple platforms.
•
Familiarity with designing AI-based experiences, including agentic workflows.
•
Comfort using command-line tools and terminal basics.
•
Awareness of mobile app development processes and constraints.
•
Experience designing for GIS/map-centric platforms.
•
Prior experience with audio, photo, or AR-driven UI/UX patterns—interfaces that go beyond the mobile screen.
•
Experience influencing product strategy or roadmap decisions as a design partner, not just an executor.
•
Basic understanding of front-end technologies (HTML/CSS/JS).
Soft Skills
•
Empathetic and user-driven; you design with people, not just pixels, in mind.
•
Self-directed and comfortable setting your own priorities under ambiguity.
•
Highly detail-oriented, with an eye for visual consistency and polish.
•
Open to feedback and eager to grow—comfortable iterating quickly.
•
Strong communicator who can explain design rationale clearly and concisely, including to leadership.
•
Comfortable with candor—we value honest, constructive conversations.
•
Assertive in your ideas but collaborative in your approach.
•
A generous mentor—invested in raising the level of the whole design team, not just your own output.
Other
•
Ability to work effectively across multiple remote, cross-functional teams.
•
Portfolio and case studies demonstrating your design process and the scope/impact of your ownership.
