About this role

We're looking for a Staff Product Designer with a high bar for product thinking and visual craft, who cares deeply about how things work and how they look. You are an end-to-end product thinker, systems-fluent, research-informed, and comfortable owning a problem from framing through launch.

You will drive renter acquisition and engagement by owning the design of experiences that attract, convert, and delight renters. You'll champion brand and expressive visual design, knowing when to work within guidelines and when to evolve them. You will also design and specify meaningful animations and micro-interactions that enhance the product experience.

You set a high bar for yourself and help raise it for the people around you. You communicate your thinking clearly and early, present with conviction, take feedback with grace, and help teammates do their best work. You treat AI as a core part of your practice and have used it to ship real product.

You are curious about new tools, quick to experiment, and generous with what you discover. You help the team stay sharp and move faster together, keeping pushing what AI makes possible. You spot opportunities to improve the product beyond your immediate scope and act on them.

Requirements

6-8 years shipping consumer or B2C digital products end-to-end, from problem framing through launch.
Mastery of Figma, including components, auto layout, variables, and prototyping; strong design systems fluency.
Product strategy chops: ability to connect user needs to business outcomes and make smart tradeoffs.
Deep user empathy and excellent collaboration skills across product, engineering, data, and marketing.
Curious about AI design tools and actively using them to move faster.
Exceptional eye for visual design, motion, and brand expression as integral to problem-solving.
A portfolio that shows authored work: not just usable, but visually exciting, with evidence across growth surfaces and brand expression.

Responsibilities

Drive renter acquisition and engagement by owning the design of experiences that attract, convert, and delight renters.

Collaborate openly across product, engineering, data, and marketing, communicating thinking clearly and early.
Keep pushing what AI makes possible, experimenting with new tools and sharing discoveries with the team.
Design and specify meaningful animations and micro-interactions that enhance the product experience.
