About this role
Writer is looking for a product designer that's thoughtful and talented. You'll be instrumental in bringing our product design vision to market and establishing the foundation for future growth. This is the perfect role for a designer who is looking to make impactful decisions in the product org.

♀️ Who you are
You're a visually-focused designer and have a keen eye for aesthetics, details, and pixel perfection
You feel comfortable designing desktop experiences from the ground up rather than sole from within an existing design system. Note: we do have a design system, but we're constantly designing new experiences that push its boundaries
You are passionate about building great user experiences and keeping a team centered on the user throughout research, design and implementation —all while keeping business and technical angles in mind
You are ready to take ownership of a complex, growing product and are comfortable with ambiguity; you learn quickly
You love collaborating with passionate and talented cross-functional partners
You’re intentional about your design decisions and communicate them simply and clearly
You have a portfolio showcasing well-crafted, shipped desktop experiences

Researching user and business objectives in collaboration with Product
Translating user needs and business objectives into designs that help our customers get the job done (delightfully)
Prototyping and testing the efficacy of designed solutions
Building design system components and experiences from scratch, as needed (and using what we can from the existing design system)
Gather feedback and figure out how to iterate and improve things you launch
Work on the product roadmap with cross-functional partners
Keep upgrading the design process, quality, and community at Writer
⭐️ You have
5+ years of experience working as a UX/UI or Product designer
Experience building UI components from scratch (founding designer, expanded an existing design system, overhauled an existing design system)
Experience working on a technical or B2B product is a plus, but not required
