## About the role

As a Senior Product Designer II on the Jobs team at Handshake, you'll design the core experience that millions of students rely on to find and land their next opportunity—job search, job application, and everything that happens after someone hits "apply." You'll also help shape the Home experience, the surface where students land and discover what's relevant to them, ensuring it connects seamlessly into the broader jobs journey.

## What they're looking for

- 5+ years of product design experience, ideally building consumer-facing products at scale
- Experience designing complex, multi-step flows (e.g., search, application, checkout, onboarding) where completion and drop-off really matter
- Strong communicator who can clearly explain design decisions, tradeoffs, and the thinking behind them to product and engineering partners
- Solid visual and interaction design skills, with a track record of shipping high-quality experiences
- Comfortable using qualitative and quantitative insights (user research, funnel data, experiment results) to inform and validate design decisions
- Comfortable incorporating generative AI tools into the design process to accelerate ideation, prototyping, and iteration
