UX / Product Designer

UX / Product Designer

We're a tight-knit crew of designers and developers who use technology to deliver new superpowers to our clients. We need more help on the design side!

We're looking for a thoughtful and curious UX designer to join the team. You'll be working with senior team members to solve real client problems, to build beautiful and useful interfaces, to fight for our end users, and to keep our engineers honest about font weights. We're heavy on developers now, so you'll have an outsized impact on the design output of Brand New Box.

You'll get to plan, sketch, wireframe, mock, prototype, and communicate those designs. You'll be working on a range of collaborative projects, from designing a small feature on an existing project to designing an entirely new digital product. At Brand New Box we punch way above our weight in impact - your work with our small team will reach many, many users.

You will also work directly with clients and end users to research problems, identify needs, and discover solutions. You'll need to be comfortable engaging with other professionals in an ego-free way, and get really good at listening and documenting what you find.

You’ll communicate directly with clients both in writing and verbally. You’ll think through what you’re designing from the viewpoint of end users and the product owners, always paying attention to the details. We work iteratively, with a short feedback loop so you’ll get to see the results of your effort go out into the world - and immediately impact the end users of our products.

You'll need to align with our core values. We expect everyone to be curious, competent, creative, empathetic, and B.S.-free. See the careers page for more details on those!
