We are hiring a designer to work on our product team. This designer will create new features for our customer portal and consumer-facing applications, and help create a design system in collaboration with the rest of the design team.

Experience

Ideal candidates will have worked on B2B applications serving thousands of users and for long enough to have encountered meaningful successes and failures. Whether that’s happened over 12 years or 12 months, it’s the mileage that matters.

At Delivery Solutions, the designer’s role is to show what we intend to make and to work closely with Product and Engineering to see that vision through to production. Ideal candidates will need little acclimatization to this environment.

Our designers also facilitate their team’s conversation about a project around user needs, business goals, and technical possibilities. Candidates should have experience balancing, prioritizing, and incorporating feedback from multiple experts into their work.
