SUMMARY
We are Pixellu, a software company on a mission to take the work out of running a photography business so photographers can do what they love. We are seeking a world-class Lead Product Designer to head our product design. You’ll be working with the Head of Product, CEO, and CTO to develop a product design vision and execute on that vision with the help of fellow designers, product managers, and engineering. In this role, you will be both a designer on a major product and a leader of other product designers.
This is not a “sit in the office and plan” role. This is a role where you will be with the exec team one day, and in the trenches the next. Expect to roll up your sleeves and be in the weeds, doing the work.
YOUR ROLE
Pixellu currently has three main products – SmartAlbums, SmartSlides, and Galleries. You would be the designer responsible for one of these products, while leading the other two designers.
As a product designer, you will first and foremost focus on UX. While UI design is very important, it is secondary to solving UX problems.
You will be working with product managers, engineers, and additional designers to get deep inside customer problems to craft and refine user stories while digging deep to generate and validate data in cross-functional collaboration to bring frequent value to Pixellu and its customers.
You will own the product development in the UX and design spaces, mentor other designers, and foster a creative, efficient, and scalable UX/UI design culture.
Job Responsibilities
- Research: Validate your hypothesis through directly conducting user research and testing.
- Plan: Work with executives and product managers to help shape the product vision, strategy, and prioritization.
- Prototype: Define the user experience, interactions, and user interface through user flows, information architecture, sketches and wireframes, and visual design. Build functional prototypes to validate and test user flows.
- Design: Design simple, elegant, data-driven, user-centric experiences that delight users.
- Interaction Design: Design simple, streamlined, data-driven, user-centric experiences that delight users.
- Lead: Lead our small team of product designers. Set standards, inspire, motivate, manage, and execute.
Job Requirements
Aside from the standard job description, here is what we most value in a candidate:
- Impeccable visual taste
- Obsession with simplicity and intuitive interactions
- Mastery and appreciation of color, space, typography, iconography, illustration, and UX laws
- Thorough knowledge of the latest trends in UX/UI
- People & communication skills
- Data-driven decision making
- 4+ years of experience in designing, shipping, and maintaining products
Employee Benefits
- Work from anywhere with a good internet connection — our team is 100% remote and distributed all over the world, across 15 countries.
- Freedom to choose your own working hours — We have three “required online hours” which are 7-11 am Pacific Time. Outside of those hours you are free to work at whatever time of day suits you best. Structure your work around your kids, family, hobbies, and around the time of day that you know you are most productive.
- Competitive salary based on experience level and your local cost of living considerations.
- You get rewarded as we grow. As a Pixellu employee, you’ll become part of our Quarterly Profit-Sharing program where you’ll receive bonuses based on seniority and role as Pixellu continues to grow.
- Paid parental leave.
