About the position

Our UI/UX Designer / Prototyper focuses on designing and building early versions of new software products.

  • This role is primarily focused on creating mockups and designs for our portfolio companies' products.

  • It requires a mixture of skills:

    • a creative role, designing the product itself, and

    • a quantitative, research role, bringing that design into contact with real customers and learning from their interactions with it.

  • One implication of that mixture is that you've got enough ego to design things that you think might change the world - but humble enough to take tough feedback when customers don't like it. And then adjust for the next version of your design.

  • The ideal candidate for this role is familiar with modern tooling to build clickable wireframes , quickly and efficiently, without a technical collaborator in most cases.

  • You'll work closely with our Technical Prototyper on these projects.
