Experience creating and applying a cohesive design system across a product, with a portfolio showing shipped product work.
Technical fluency and the ability to collaborate closely with engineers.
Experience with product analytics tools such as PostHog.
Background designing non-consumer software, ideally for hardware, engineering, simulation, CAD, or developer tools.
Comfort working cross-functionally and shipping improvements through short research and delivery cycles.
