• Own the end-to-end design process—from blue sky exploration to UX specs and quality UI designs—balancing polish with speed to execution.

• Lead collaboration across disciplines (product, engineering, and design), ensuring seamless communication and facilitating impactful decision-making across cross-functional teams.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven Experience: 8+ years as a Product Designer (or equivalent experience) with a strong portfolio showcasing consumer-facing social and platform design work.
