Growth Opportunities

Responsibilities

Own product design end-to-end. You'll lead projects from problem definition through shipped product—wireframes, prototypes, high-fidelity designs, and iteration based on what you learn

Prototype and explore rapidly. We value learning through making. You'll explore ideas quickly, share work early, and use hi-fi designs and prototypes to drive alignment and decision-making

Collaborate across functions. Design doesn't happen in isolation here and you'll partner daily with engineers and PMs to shape what we build and how we build it

Develop deep domain intuition. Great research tools require understanding researcher workflows. You'll build expertise in how researchers and scientists actually work and use that knowledge to inform product direction

Elevate team craft. Participate in critiques, contribute to and up-level design systems, and help establish practices that raise quality across everything we ship
