Product & Experience Responsibilities

* Translate business goals and user problems into clear, testable product and design solutions
* Lead product discovery together with Product Engineers (problem framing, flows, prototypes, usability testing)
* Proactively identify UX opportunities, challenge assumptions and suggest improvements
* Act as a UX quality gate before features ship, ensuring usability, clarity and consistency
* Use data, user feedback and experiments to iterate on shipped features
* Embrace and promote an experimentation mindset, supporting UX and product experiments
Design & Craft Responsibilities
* Design production-ready UI in Figma, including edge cases, states and responsive behavior
* Maintain and evolve the design system, balancing speed, consistency and scalability
* Ensure UX & UI improvements align with brand strategy and visual identity
* Work hands-on with engineers during implementation (handoff, design reviews, assets, translations, refinements)
* Review implemented features to ensure design intent and interaction quality are preserved
* Apply accessibility and usability best practices across all designs
Collaboration & Ways of Working
* Partner closely with Product Engineers, Software Engineers and Data Analysts to align on outcomes
* Communicate design rationale clearly and confidently to stakeholders
