## About the role

Kids want a phone that just works. Parents want to know exactly what it's doing. Designing for both, at once, without either one feeling like an afterthought — that's the role.

## What they're looking for

- 10+ years designing and shipping consumer digital products, with clear examples of owning complex experiences end to end
- Excellent visual design craft, with a gift for making complex workflows feel simple
- A strong systems thinker who builds reusable foundations, not just one-off screens
- A strategic partner to Product who shapes what we build next, not just how
- Fluency using AI as a design multiplier (exploration, prototyping, production), and genuine interest in building a foundation the team can scale with it
- Excellent judgment around user trust, safety, and quality, especially designing for kids and the parents who trust us
