Product Designer

Tech Observer is looking for a Product Designer to define how users interact with their platform. The role involves designing end-to-end user experiences, collaborating with cross-functional teams, and utilizing data to inform design decisions.

Responsibilities:

• Design cross-channel engagement by delivering notifications and identity experiences across push, email, and in-app surfaces (iOS, Android, Desktop, Web)
• Turn ambiguity into clarity by translating ambiguous product problems into clear design requirements, user flows, and interaction patterns
• Collaborate to drive growth by partnering closely with PMs, engineers, researchers, and data scientists to identify growth opportunities and design experiments that move key metrics
• Design with data, using qualitative and quantitative insights to refine your work, from visual hierarchy and micro-interactions, to the pacing of how the experience unfolds for Pinners
• Think in systems by crafting end-to-end user journeys, high-fidelity visuals, and polished prototypes that build on and extend the Client’s design system so every touchpoint is cohesive and precise
• Tell a clear design story by presenting your work clearly, documenting decisions and tradeoffs, and advocating for user-centered, growth-driven solutions
• Model respectful and proactive communication by sharing project work and updates early and often, addressing blockers, keeping calendars updated, and contributing to a professional, collaborative team environment

Requirements:

• 2-3 years' experience in product design, ideally in growth, with a strong track record shipping experiences in B2C or consumer-facing mobile app products
• High bar for visual craft, using prototypes to communicate design proposals, test concepts, and build alignment with stakeholders
• Execute with rigor and detail with a portfolio that shows robust flows and specs for mobile and web, thoughtful handling of edge cases, and a clear grasp of both business and user needs
• Working knowledge of UX principles and the ability to turn business goals into testable hypotheses and experiments
• Data-informed mindset, with a passion for learning from user research, and experimentation, and iterating quickly while maintaining a high quality bar
• Self-starter attitude with the ability to drive projects independently in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment
• Mastery of Figma, strong prototyping skills, and experience creating clear, detailed handoff documentation for engineers
• Champion user-first collaboration by fostering a positive, humble, and highly collaborative environment across design and cross-functional partners
• Strong communication and storytelling skills
• Portfolios that demonstrate high visual craft, product thinking, and thoughtful case study narratives (i.e. showing tradeoffs across different design directions, and collaboration with cross-functional partners like eng and product)
