What we're looking for:
- You will be the first full-time product designer on the team—you'll work directly with Natalia
- Experienced at talking to users and willing to constantly do so without encouragement
- Willing to explore product ideas through design and animation before executing on them
- Willing to throw away ideas if they're not great. Optimistic enough to keep hunting for new ones.
- Excited to collaborate with everyone on the team: engineers, customer facing folks, etc—you believe inspiration can come from anywhere
- You have good judgement to push the most impactful ideas forward that will make users happy
- You don't believe users are our guinea pigs: we ship great products when they're ready and something we might often use ourselves.
- You have good judgement of when to ship: perfect is the enemy of good
- You care about details and are excited to keep pushing your work
