• You'll own the end-to-end design process, from low-fi sketches and prototypes to pixel-perfect comps.
• You'll be an active participant and contributor to design critiques, along with other Designers.
• You'll work with Engineers to ensure that the finished product aligns closely with original designs and maintains a high standard of quality.
• You'll help our Services team support customers by building decks, PDFs, and other visual assets according to brand guidelines.

• You demonstrate strong design fundamentals.

• You actively pay attention to trends in the design and tech communities, and form opinions on the future of design.
• You like small teams, and value a distributed and diverse work culture. Working side-by-side with co-workers from around the world is something you cherish.
