Build great relationships with our User Research team and explore new ways to understand what travelers really need

Work closely with developers to bring designs to life, knowing when to push boundaries and when to work within constraints
Stay on top of the latest design tools and techniques (and maybe discover a few new ones along the way)
Think about the technical building blocks—modularity, reusability, all that good stuff that makes scalable design possible
Help grow our design system by creating reusable components that make everyone's life easier
Think big picture and take a whole systems approach—how does this button connect to that flow, and how does it all work together for travelers?

Design flexible components and patterns that can adapt as we grow and learn
Tell compelling stories about your design work that get stakeholders excited and bought in
