## About the role

Good design is a core feature of our platform. When people are looking to buy and sell assets that are valued as much as an actual house, it’s important the product experience is clean, smooth, and intuitive. Since the beginning, we’ve been very intentional about maintaining a high bar for product design. We love going into the details, talking to our customers, and building the pixels nobody asked for but always wanted. You’ll join a small team working directly with the Co-founder and CTO.

## What they're looking for

- Strong eye for design and interaction with taste you can both defend and implement
- Comfort working across design, product, and engineering to ship work
- You think in systems, not tickets
- You get excited by operating in a high-performance startup environment
- You would love to be customer-facing
- You play for the front of the jersey, having strong opinions, a willingness to question the status quo, and a drive to become a real expert in whatever space you work in. All while being a great team communicator
