Job Description

Senior User Experience Designer

The Opportunity

We’re seeking an experienced User Experience Designer to lead the creation of intuitive, high-impact digital experiences used by millions of highly engaged consumers. This role sits at the intersection of design, product strategy, and technology, with direct influence over how users discover, evaluate, and transact across digital platforms.

You’ll be responsible for translating complex business goals and user needs into elegant, scalable experiences. From early concept through final execution, your work will shape how customers interact with products across web and mobile environments.

What You’ll Do

  • Collaborate closely with product leadership, engineering partners, and cross-functional teams to define and execute experience strategies.
  • Lead qualitative and quantitative research efforts to uncover user motivations, behaviors, and friction points.
  • Create and maintain UX deliverables including user personas, experience flows, journey maps, wireframes, interactive prototypes, and polished UI designs.
  • Use data, experimentation, and user feedback to refine and optimize designs over time.
  • Design systems and interfaces that balance usability, aesthetics, accessibility, and performance.
  • Advocate for user-first thinking throughout planning, development, and launch cycles.
  • Provide guidance and mentorship to designers at earlier stages in their careers, helping elevate design quality and team standards.

What We’re Looking For

  • 5+ years of professional experience in UX or product design, supported by a strong portfolio demonstrating both process and outcomes.
  • Background in design, human-computer interaction, or a related discipline (formal degree helpful but not mandatory).
  • Advanced proficiency with modern design tools (e.g., Figma or similar).
  • Working knowledge of front-end technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) to collaborate effectively with engineers.
  • Strong storytelling and communication skills, with the ability to clearly explain design decisions to technical and non-technical partners.
  • Experience designing for transactional, marketplace, or consumer-facing digital products is a strong plus.
  • Familiarity with highly passionate or community-driven user bases is beneficial.

Work Environment

  • Operates within a fast-moving, highly collaborative product organization.
  • Hybrid schedule with a balance of in-office collaboration and remote flexibility (3 days onsite / 2 days remote).

Compensation & Benefits

  • Competitive base salary range of $155,000 – $185,000 annually
  • Comprehensive benefits package covering health, wellness, financial planning, and professional development.
  • Generous parental leave programs, fertility support, and flexible time-off policies.
  • Retirement savings plan with company contribution.
  • A culture that prioritizes growth, balance, and long-term career development.
