Founding Product Designer
- Product Experience: Owning the user journey from the first onboarding click to the "you're hired" moment, creating intuitive flows that make finding a job feel magical.
- Visual Identity: defining the visual language of the product and brand. You will ensure the "look and feel" creates immediate trust and stands out in a crowded market.
- User Research: Going beyond the pixels to speak with consumers, analyze competitors, and understand the psychological drivers of our users.
- Strategy & Testing: Operating from first principles to test ideas before we build them—utilizing landing pages and prototypes to validate hypotheses quickly.
- Take ownership of the product design lifecycle, from user research and conceptualization to high-fidelity design and engineering hand-off.
- Challenge the status quo. You will reimagine how talent connects with opportunity, questioning existing assumptions to build something better.
- Collaborate deeply with engineering to translate briefs into reality, ensuring high-quality implementation of your designs.
- Use data to drive design. You will look at retention benchmarks, consumer feedback, and engagement scores to iterate and improve the product.
- Move fast. You will balance the need for exceptional quality with the speed required at a high-growth startup, knowing exactly when to polish and when to ship.
- Are a product thinker first, pixel pusher second. You understand the business value proposition and design to solve specific user pain points.
- Operate from first principles. You don't just follow current design trends; you ask "why" and build solutions that make sense for our users.
- Produce exceptional work at speed. You can create visuals that people love and workflows that feel right, without getting bogged down in perfectionism when speed is required.
- Are empathetic. You understand that looking for a job is hard, and you want to build a tool that genuinely helps people navigate their careers with confidence.
- Want to build from the ground up. You are excited by the prospect of being a Founding Designer and shaping the culture and output of the design function at Dex.
