At Medium, designers and engineers work across the full range of the product development process.

- 7+ years of experience designing products in a fast-paced environment working closely with engineering, design, and product teammates to develop the strategy and rationale for features
- An outstanding portfolio with presentable case studies of your best work, showcasing a foundation in typography, interaction and visual design, and idea generation for work you’ve shipped
- The ability to tackle complex challenges and transform them into simple, intuitive experiences
- The ability to change altitude from design details to big picture thinking, while maintaining a high pace of execution and quality bar
- An understanding of design systems, including an understanding of how and why the field has evolved and a point of view on what comes next
- Excellent written, verbal, and storytelling skills. We are a reading and writing company, after all!
