• Real ownership over a category-defining product.
• Direct impact on product quality and company direction.
• Small team, high leverage, high standards.
• Close collaboration with product, engineering, and leadership.
• A role designed for builders.

• Take end-to-end responsibility for the user experience across our apps.
• Lead design and UX reviews with a high professional bar.
• Contribute hands-on to core product initiatives.
  
  

• Define UX principles, standards, and decision frameworks.
• Build and evolve the design system, patterns, and guidelines.

• Proven experience leading complex product areas hands-on.
• Experience building or owning design systems or UX standards.
• Strong product and business understanding.
• Comfortable making UX decisions with incomplete data and real-world constraints.
• Preference for hands-on work over people management.
