Show us your (design) skills

To build world-class products, designers have to be adaptive and show an ability to think strategically for users but also get into the weeds on small details. All while keeping things simple. Here’s a rundown of the qualities we should see in the strongest design candidates.

• Fundamentals: You've mastered design essentials such as color theory, typesetting, visual hierarchy, and layout
• Intuitiveness: Your products are designed to be used with confidence—the purpose and function of each feature is clear
• Simplicity: You place focus on the important design elements and refrain from anything that could distract the user
• Accessibility: Your products are designed with all people in mind—you ensure they are usable by anyone, anywhere, anytime
• Delight: You inject personality into your designs to create a memorable experience for users
• Motion: You use movement to enhance the experience and guide the user through their intended journey

Culture fit

Okay, so everyone says this, but we truly put culture above all else when screening candidates. There’s no cookie cutter fit, but successful candidates should hold these values:

• Collaborative. We rarely work on solo projects here. You must be comfortable working in groups, taking feedback and learning from teammates of all levels of experience
• Communicative. It is wildly important that you feel confident in engaging with colleagues and clients across a variety of platforms
• Adaptable. Things are in a constant state of flow around here so you need to be open to change, transition, and ambiguity within your projects
• Honest. We don’t expect you to be perfect, we do expect you to be honest. We appreciate when people are transparent about their flaws, clear about their misses and always share where they are at when it comes to work and life outside our four metaphorical work walls
