As a Product Designer, you'll be a key player on our product team, tackling complex problems and crafting elegant, user-friendly solutions. This role is about more than just making things look good. You'll drive the end-to-end design process, from initial research and discovery to final pixel-perfect execution. You'll partner closely with product managers, engineers, and stakeholders to understand user needs and business goals.

  • Simplify the Complex: You have a proven track record of breaking down complicated workflows into simple, intuitive user experiences.
  • Thoughtful: You don't just solve the immediate problem; you consider user feedback and design consistency across the broader system.

You Will:

  • Take ownership of the user experience for assigned feature areas from concept to launch.
  • Conduct user research, including interviews and usability testing, to inform your designs.
  • Create design artifacts that build consensus—wireframes, prototypes, user flows, and high-fidelity mockups.
  • Collaborate with engineers to ensure your designs are implemented to a high standard.
  • Contribute to and utilize our design system to ensure consistency and efficiency.
  • Champion a user-centric design culture within the organization.

Who You Will Work With:

Reporting to the Director of Product Design, this role will collaborate regularly with Product Managers, Engineers, and Business Stakeholders to ensure user needs and business goals are met. Partner with cross-functional teams on a daily basis. Participate in design sharing and knowledge-exchange activities to contribute to team growth.


Must Haves:

  • A strong portfolio showcasing your product design process and demonstrating your ability to solve user problems on a variety of device types and surfaces.
  • Proficiency in modern design and prototyping tools.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
  • A strong bias for action, self-direction, and a knack for thriving in a fast-paced environment.

Nice to Haves:

  • Experience designing for B2B or complex enterprise applications.
  • Prior experience utilizing or contributing to design systems.
  • Familiarity with wholesale or automotive marketplaces.

What We Offer:
