• What language(s) are required? Fluency in writing and verbal English is required

• What technical skills must I have? You must be a pro in using Figma! React, Typescript and Tailwind are also very desirable, but not a must.

Design @ Bird is unique. You get a design team that is being built, ground up, from culture to execution. You get a product that is proven, uses cutting-edge technology and is extremely efficient.

• You love to take on multiple projects, business-critical ones with extreme visibility.

If this sounds like you, we would love for you to come join our mission-driven, customer-obsessed Product Design team with very ambitious goals for 2024/2025. 

Reporting directly to the Head of Design, you will work in very close partnership with other designers, VPs of Product Management, Sales and our Technology teams. You will also be exposed to the C-team and work hand in hand with company priorities and business objectives.

As a Senior product designer, you will work with the product, solutions, business and marketing teams to learn first-hand about how our product gets used and what it means to our customers. You will have a pivotal role in building exceptional user experiences for some of our largest customers.
