What you will do:

• Proven experience collaborating with engineers and product managers to make informed design trade-offs based on technical constraints and business priorities; demonstrated ability to find creative compromises that satisfy both product vision and engineering feasibility
• Strong bias for action with demonstrated ability to rapidly iterate on designs rather than pursuing perfection - comfortable with shipping improvements incrementally and learning from real user feedback
• Advanced proficiency with modern design tools including Figma (for UI design and prototyping) and FigJam (for collaborative design thinking), with demonstrated ability to leverage emerging tools to enhance design workflows
• Experience contributing to and maintaining component-based design systems, with working knowledge of React to effectively collaborate with engineering on component architecture and implementation feasibility
• Strong foundation in UX research methodologies with experience participating in research activities and translating research insights into data-driven design decisions
• Ability to work effectively with imperfect information and adapt designs based on technical feasibility
• Openness to incorporating AI tools to enhance design workflows and efficiency
