• We’re looking for a well-rounded product designer with strong skills in visual design, interaction design, product analysis and user research. A background in data visualization design will be especially beneficial for this role.

• As part of our product design team, you’ll report to the Director of Product Design and will be the fourth member of our product design team. You will work closely with your product squad—a product manager, an engineering manager, and 5 to 8 engineers—to help shape the future of our platform.

• Strong communication and collaboration skills with the ability to effectively articulate design concepts and rationale to stakeholders at all levels.
