Requirements

we are looking for

Someone who genuinely loves the craft and practice of design - and because of that they are an:

Articulate & Incisive Critic: someone who can level up fellow designers through clear critique, ranging from the intuitiveness of a small interaction detail, to the cohesiveness of a whole feature set or product area.

Doer: someone who comes from a strong and hands-on product design background, who still loves creating and designing, but will still give away their legos, in order to make a better thing.

Cross-functional Player: someone who enjoys how design, technology, business, and strategy all co-mingle to make a great product and can calibrate design decisions in light of these cross-functional inputs.

Culture-Builder: someone who cares about an open creative culture of a company; and (genuinely!) believes great ideas can come from anywhere.

Story Teller: a compelling storyteller for design, both inside of Qwilr and in public.
