Your contributions will directly influence customer experiences and business outcomes, as you engage with cross-functional teams to drive impactful design solutions that are both intuitive and efficient.

• Owning the end-to-end design process: from exploratory research to wireframes, prototypes, usability testing, and polished high-fidelity designs.
• Driving deep customer and product understanding through short-form research (customer interviews/surveys, edge case mapping, journey reviews, competitor benchmarking).
• Collaborating closely with product managers, engineers, and stakeholders to define problems, align on outcomes, and craft thoughtful and intuitive solutions.
• Supporting large product initiatives such as major product launches and optimizations of existing customer journey flows.
• Using the existing design system to ship consistent, scalable UI while contributing to its ongoing evolution.
• Participating in team rituals such as weekly design reviews, retros, product unite meetings, and daily cross-functional standups.
• Communicating design decisions clearly and effectively to stakeholders.
• Balancing speed and quality by iterating quickly and refining based on feedback.
• Bringing a perspective of continuous improvement in processes, tooling, or team collaboration.

• 5+ years of experience designing intuitive, user-centric digital products.
• Strong foundation in visual design, interaction design, and information architecture.
• Experience working through the full product design lifecycle from research to execution.
• Proven ability to conduct or collaborate on user research and synthesize insights.
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity and complexity in regulated domains.
• Collaborative experience with cross-functional teams including product managers and engineers.
• Iterative mindset with strong prototyping skills.
• Familiarity with design systems and experience in contributing to them.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• A healthy balance of humility, curiosity, and confidence.

• Generous PTO - 20 vacation days.
• A comprehensive benefits plan with premiums paid in full.
• Investment in professional development including an L&D budget and performance reviews.
• An extremely high performing, low-ego, remote-first team.
• Option to work from home or a Toronto-based office with biannual in-person socials.
• Access to stock options based on performance.
