This role combines excellence in both design and technical implementation of a feature. You'll work on challenging design problems, help others improve their designs, and consult on bespoke design work needed by product engineers.

Responsibilities

• Redesign our mobile web app by talking with customers who use it often, wireframing new flows, implementing the design system, and turning wireframes into a polished UI.
• Built a set of flexible, composable components in our design system that allow other engineers to build beautiful, consistent setup wizards across our product easily.
• Helped a Product Engineer improve the information hierarchy and scannability of their design for viewing a candidate’s assessments.

Skills
