We’re building a culture based on learning and creating meaningful experiences for our customers. We are seeking a multi-skilled Product Designer 2 with a mastery of visual design, experience design, interface construction, branding, and storytelling. We’re looking for a designer who’s driven by empathy for customers, and the desire to carry ideas from rough ideas to launch. The right candidate works independently and is a passionate collaborator with other design teams, engineering teams and marketing groups.

Finally, this designer defaults to a making/building mindset – when in doubt we build something and test it. Embracing quick prototyping and testing is central to this role.
