About the role
You can demonstrate a solid understanding of the fundamentals of product design
- customer understanding, funnel metrics, translating qualitative and quantitative
understanding into actionable insights, understanding of tech and infra constraints (for Web and Mobile), ability to conceptualise solutions within tight
constraints (time & tech), track performance of the product once live and iterate.
You are driven by a desire to think through problems deeply and solve them well -
you understand that UI is only a layer, not a solution.
You have great taste for good design and know how to translate taste into
outcomes. You take pride in your attention to detail and strive for perfection from
concept to product. You have experience creating web & mobile apps/products
with end to end ownership - you know, intimately, the working differences
between web standards, PWAs on mobile, Material Design on Android and iOS
design guidelines.
You have worked in dynamic, collaborative environments and worked alongside
product managers and engineers. You are articulate and can clearly rationalise
and communicate your design assumptions and decisions. You take ownership
and can work independently, get things done over multiple communication
channels - be it Slack, asynchronous chat or similar.

Responsibility
You will own and manage product and feature design end-to-end for web and
mobile. You will be responsible for customer & market understanding, concept &
design, stakeholder buy-ins, tech. handovers & reviews and debugging & tracking
the feature in production. You will collaborate with Product Managers and
Engineers throughout the product development lifecycle to ensure design intent is
in sync with business goals and followed through to production

High quality online portfolio of relevant work- website (preferred) or a
shareable PDF demonstrating your command over good design fundamentals
