About You

You are a Product Designer who combines strong visual and interaction design expertise with strategic product thinking and a data-informed mindset. You are passionate about creating end-to-end product experiences that are intuitive, impactful, and aligned with both user needs and business goals.

• Systems-oriented and strategic problem-solving mindset.
• Strong communication, presentation, and stakeholder management skills.
• Familiarity with Product Design frameworks such as Lean UX or Continuous Discovery.
• Well-grounded technical foundation, including frontend concepts, databases, APIs, and cloud architecture.
• Experience leveraging AI tools to extend design capabilities beyond traditional design workflows.
• Ability to critically evaluate AI outputs for quality, bias, and usability considerations.
• Experience mentoring or guiding other designers is a plus.
• Highly proficient written and spoken English (C1 or higher) and Spanish.

You will be accountable for the following responsibilities:

• Co-lead product vision and design strategy alongside Product Managers and the data team.
• Define, track, and act on UX metrics such as task success rate, time on task, error rates, and behavioral signals.
• Proactively identify opportunities and propose product improvements grounded in user insights, metrics, and validated hypotheses.
• Collaborate with the data team to design A/B experiments and measure the impact of design decisions through evidence.
• Deliver high-quality design solutions supported by clear metrics frameworks and tracking plans.
• Navigate ambiguity with autonomy and initiative, defining scope, priorities, and timelines independently.
