The Role

We are looking for an entry-level User Experience Designer to join our dynamic product team. In this role, you will work alongside senior designers, product managers, and engineers to craft intuitive and delightful experiences for our web and mobile applications.

You will also have access to our New York office if you prefer to work from a physical location occasionally.

We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive team. If you are passionate about creating meaningful user experiences and eager to grow in a supportive environment, we encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet every qualification listed. Your unique perspective is valuable to us.
