About the role

We're looking for a versatile, intrinsically motivated designer who is excited to contribute to rethinking how modern software is designed. At Ashby, you'll be part designer, part product manager, part consultant, and part design system manager (or some combination of the 4!). We do design differently here, and if that excites you, read on.

What they're looking for

  • 4+ years of product design experience in desktop SaaS
  • Able to think from first principles instead of simply applying the “standard” UX processes
  • Can break down complex user problems by asking questions that narrow down the solution space
  • Enough experience that your intuition can solve many usability problems without having to rely solely on data & metrics or conducting user research
  • Curious & resourceful enough to come up with creative solutions and de-risk them appropriately
  • Strong skills in layout, navigation, IA, UI, and interaction design
