The Role

Job Title:  Product Designer

Job Responsibilities:

• Creating leverage and impact far and above what you'd see in a typical EPD product team structure. You won’t be a cog in the wheel, the wheel is not very big!
• Getting to work on all parts of a massive product surface area - spanning many user types, JTBDs, usability challenges, etc. Unlike in other organizations, you won’t be stuck working on one problem for many years.
• Helping reinvent the design model for modern enterprise software—you don’t have to build wireframes, user journeys, personas, etc. What matters is solving a customer’s problem; what tools you use are up to you.
• Covering all parts of the design process with a focus on design craft. You'll still be doing the occasional user research interview but will be focused on using heuristics & experience to improve our IA, navigation, interactions, UI patterns, and more.
• Helping build our design system from (almost) the ground up.

Qualifications:

• 4+ years of product design experience in desktop SaaS.
• Enough experience that your intuition can solve many usability problems without having to rely solely on data & metrics or conducting user research.
• As a bonus, you have experience at an early-stage startup or have spent time as a solo designer on a team.

Skills:

• Strong visual design skills and obsession with craft & details.
• Strong skills in layout, navigation, IA, UI, and interaction design.
• Can break down complex user problems by asking questions that narrow down the solution space.
• Curious & resourceful enough to come up with creative solutions and de-risk them appropriately.
• Able to think from first principles instead of simply applying the “standard” UX processes.

Work Style:

• Full-Time
• Remote

Benefits & Perks

• Competitive salary and equity.
• 10-year exercise window for stock options. You shouldn’t feel pressure to purchase stock options if you leave Ashby —do it when you feel financially comfortable. This is one of the reasons I joined personally - not a lot of startups do this.
• Unlimited PTO with four weeks recommended per year. Expect “Vacation?” in our one-on-one agenda until you start taking it.
• Twelve weeks of fully paid family leave in the US. We plan to expand this to employees in other countries as situations arise.
• Generous equipment, software, and office furniture budget. Get what you need to be happy and productive!
• $100/month education budget with more expensive items (like conferences) covered with manager approval.
• If you’re in the US, top-notch health insurance for you and your dependents with all premiums covered by us.
