Job Details
Who you are:
You have an expert level of experience with Figma. Your visual design work is strongly featured in your portfolio. You have dedicated experience to a product working as the employee of that product's company. You call out your design system work in your resume and have an accompanying case study that describes your thinking and process associated with the building of the design system.
If you want to be part of a product-driven business that is building something from the ground up, we're looking for an experienced UI/Visual Designer to support our growing User Experience team.
We are a small, and highly collaborative team with a “can-do” spirit. You must be able to prioritize with tight deadlines and follow through in a rapidly changing environment. In this role, your primary focus is to collaborate with UX to create and maintain our company's design system. This includes creating individual components and experiences, writing specifications and rules of use, and establishing a library for documentation. Part of this process is regular coordination and review of components built in Figma with UX and Engineering. As a UI/Visual Designer, you will also help the UX team to turn their wireframes into final UI assets, making sure that all designs meet brand and usability requirements.
What’s great about working here: Our product changes the way people consume information online. Our team is proud of the product we’re building and the problems we’re working hard to solve.
Required:
- Prior experience with developing a design system
