- 8+ years of product design experience at product-driven tech companies with measurable impact on shipped products.
- A portfolio that showcases strong fundamentals, polished UI craft, and complex workflows made simple.
- Experience designing for mature, at-scale products and the judgment to know when to simplify, modernize, and leave well enough alone.
- Track record of partnering with engineering to navigate technical constraints and still ship excellent work.
- Active use of AI tools in your design workflow, and a curiosity about how they're changing the craft.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to build alignment with cross-functional partners.
