[Hiring] Senior Product Designer @Automattic Careers

Role Description

Design is at the core of what we do: designing experiences for millions of users who actively use WordPress, WooCommerce, Tumblr, and all of the products within our ecosystem.

• Design exceptional products from start to finish, participating in all phases of design, from definition to development and optimization.
• Iterate actively with prototypes at all levels of design fidelity, informed by user research, market trends, and business goals.
• Communicate and share often in written, verbal, and visual forms to create alignment and move the work toward implementation.
• Collaborate regularly with engineers to ship high-quality experiences.
• Contribute to both Automattic products and the larger open-source and design communities.

Qualifications

• A past work experience that is relevant for Automattic: experience with consumer products, remote work, WordPress, e-commerce, site editors, etc.
• A keenness for identifying user needs, defining clear solutions, and delivering those through detailed design.
• The flexibility to design in low and high fidelity and choose the most efficient and responsible process for the job at hand.
• The ability to integrate feedback, validate, and iterate on our products while being mindful of our customers, contributors, and insights gleaned by our support teams.
• The ability to align business strategies and technical limitations while designing solutions to provide exceptional user experiences.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills—you’ll collaborate with others and present your work regularly in a written format.
• Proficiency in design and prototyping tools (we use Figma) and familiarity with product development cycles.
• Strong UI and visual design skills with a portfolio showcasing your craft in both written and visual form.
• Familiarity with remote work (or excitement to try it!).

Requirements

• Salary range: $95,000-$200,000 USD
• Please note that salary ranges are global, regardless of location, and we pay in local currency.
• Pay will reflect the potential contribution and the impact you can bring, which may, in some cases, go beyond the range stated for the right candidate.
• This isn’t your typical work-from-home job—we are a fully-remote company with an open vacation policy.
