Role
Principal designer
Founding design team member – first full time UX/UI designer at Jam!
Locations
Remote, operating on US / EU time zones.
Opportunity to work in person in NYC and Austin.
What you’ll do
Obsess over every pixel to maintain the design vision and the highest standards across every user experience with Jam.
Experiment with new tools, techniques, and bring the “WOW” to every Jam interaction.
Move fast! Build size-able features quickly. You’ll go from idea to in production in a couple of weeks.
Delight users. The user impact from your work is so tangible that before you start designing, you’ll often see clips where users are emphatically requesting exactly the feature you are about to create.
Impact the bottom line. You’ll be working on critical features for the business and you’ll be able to see your immediate impact in metrics.
Become a product expert. Your dogfooding of the product will directly inform the direction of Jam’s future.
Jam’s team culture
Transparent: every week we share metrics from the previous week, and every quarter we review and discuss the board deck as a team.
User focused: we watch and discuss clips from user interviews weekly.
Available and helpful: We’re remote but we are a close knit team. Whenever you need help, your teammates are happy to jump on and pair with you.
Open: Anyone can contribute anywhere in the company. You will be able to get involved and learn about every function that interests you. An engineer helped write this job description, for example!
Collaborative: we are a no-attitude, humble team with a collaborative approach to making technical and product decisions.
Experiment and ship: we move fast, with very few meetings, and we ship experiments to test, learn and iterate live.
