You’ll work collaboratively with Product Managers, Engineers, and other StackAdapters to design, launch, and iterate on valuable solutions for our users.

What you’ll bring to the table:
- Several years of end-to-end experience as a Product Designer (visual, interaction, research, and everything in between).
- A portfolio demonstrating an understanding of user problems, the ability to create solutions out of complexity, as well as your storytelling skills; from low-fidelity sketches through to the outcomes you achieved.
- An understanding of design thinking, usability heuristics, inclusive design, design systems, and visual design skills (information design, typography, colour, etc.).
- Your communication is crisp, clear, and effective both in written and verbal formats - and you always know your audience; you've delivered complex software designs before and can speak to their successes.
- Empathy for all stakeholders, but you have no problem tactfully defending your design decisions and processes; you embrace feedback from your team with a desire to continuously improve your craft.
- Proficient in modern product design tools.
