About the company
Our client is a technology company.
The role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Design and build the user-facing layer of a software product, carrying work from early sketches and prototypes through to shipped frontend code. The role combines interaction design with hands-on engineering and sets the visual and interaction standard for the whole application.
What you'll do
- Take features from early sketches and prototypes through to shipped frontend code, then refine them using customer feedback.
- Own every user-facing screen of the application and make complex back-office tasks feel simple and quick to complete.
- Partner closely with senior leadership and engineering on how people work alongside automated features.
- Explore and test new interface patterns for software that takes actions on a user's behalf.
- Create reusable components and a shared design system that raise the quality bar across the product.
- Speak with end customers to understand their working processes and check design choices against them.
Requirements
What we're looking for
- Experience as a hybrid designer-engineer, meaning a designer who codes or a design-focused engineer.
- Two to eight years of experience designing and building products.
- Track record of taking products from zero to one at fast-growing, early-stage companies.
- Hands-on history of getting interfaces released to production, supported by solid knowledge of client-side development.
- Sharp visual judgment and craft, evidenced by a sample of design work the candidate can share.
- Ability to clearly explain the design decisions behind their work.
- Able to work on-site five days a week in New York City.
Bonus points
- Experience building business-to-business software.
- Experience designing interaction patterns for AI-driven products.
