## About the role

You own the marketplace surfaces where that decision happens — listing and submission, the offer moment, bidding and auction close, payout, the places where Alt asserts a price and asks someone to act on it. Design at Alt isn't a service function that receives requirements. It's the discipline that writes them.

## What they're looking for

- Relentless curiosity about users. This is the first bar. Not "I read the research" — you go and get it
- Influence without authority. You've changed what a company built through the quality of your reasoning: reframed a roadmap, killed a bad direction, gotten engineers to fight for your design's details
- Founding, first, or early designer experience — or you've built something of your own. You know what it costs to own an outcome end to end
- You've shipped things you conceived , not just executed from someone else's spec, and you can narrate the problem-framing behind your best work unprompted
- A portfolio organized around problems and outcomes, not screens. You talk about your work quantitatively: what moved, what you killed, what you learned
- Bonus: marketplace or two-sided experience, high-consideration or financial products where trust was the conversion problem, consumer products with a passionate community, you collect, or you have a view on where this market is going
