• Use product analytics, including session recordings, to identify opportunities and guide design improvements.
• Partner with engineering, product, and go-to-market teams to deliver a cohesive experience across assessment flows and hiring dashboards.
• Own the website redesign from information architecture and visual design through front-end implementation.

Requirements

• What We're Looking For
• Two to four years of product design experience, with meaningful experience at an early-stage startup.
• A combination of UX and visual design skills in Figma and production front-end experience with TypeScript.
• Experience creating and rolling out a design system across a product, supported by a strong portfolio of shipped work.
• Technical fluency and experience working closely with engineers, product teams, and go-to-market partners.
• Familiarity with product analytics tools such as PostHog and short research cycles that support timely shipping.
• Experience with software for hardware or technical fields, such as CAD, simulation, or developer tools, is valuable.
