- Bonus: experience in brand and graphic design to work with the GTM team on brand activations
What you'll bring
- Experience designing products from 0 to 1
- Strong systems design and information architecture skills
- Ability to simplify complex data models into intuitive user experiences
- A portfolio showing strong visual taste and attention to detail
- Comfort designing for non-technical users solving complex problems
- Ownership mindset and strong product instincts
- Experience with the latest AI tools and building internal design harnesses
- Interest in hospitality, restaurants, or consumer-facing software
What we offer
- In-person team, 5 days/week in SoHo
