About the role
- Owning the craft of what we ship to millions of people finding and creating IRL communities around the world.
- This is an in-person position at our NYC office, located in SoHo.
- Prototype with code: Use code as a thinking tool.
Responsibilities
- Collaborate with product, design, and engineering to narrow the gap between interactive Figma prototypes and production-ready code - first through execution, then through process & tool enablement.
- Improve ****design system usability while optimizing responsiveness and motion until every new release feels delightful.
- Integrate yourself deeply into the design review process, adding micro-interactions that define best-in-class consumer products to upcoming product improvements while enabling the rest of engineering to easily prioritize delight as a core aspect of our definition of "done".
- Collaborate with design to maintain and grow the components, primitives, and tokens shared across mobile and web.
- Make it extremely simple for every other engineer to create beautiful experiences without bloating project scope.
- Build working prototypes that resolve product debates faster than mockups can, and put real interactions in front of team members and users to inform eventual feature direction.
- Bring unique insights from your position at the intersection of design and engineering into roadmap conversations, enhancing our approach to solution framing by providing R&D leadership with new perspectives on what's possible.
- The bar for consumer software not "it works" - it's "it feels alive." Reaching that bar requires people who can hold design and code quality as mutual priorities.
- Bridge the gap between design and engineering priorities: Improve ****design system usability while optimizing responsiveness and motion until every new release feels delightful.
- Posh enables anyone to build an IRL community based on shared interests, while connecting consumers with the communities of people just like them.
Requirements
- Figma Fluency - Hands-on experience with shared component libraries and optimizing design systems, and giving designers real feedback on what will and won't translate to code.
Nice to have
- Background in consumer, social, or marketplace products is a plus - especially anything where the experience is the reason people come back.
- Side projects, open-source contributions, or public writing that show how you think about your craft.
