Senior Product Designer

What's the opportunity? 

You will do meaningful product design work at a highly admired product-driven company that's driving real change in the industry.

Each product designer at Intercom works in a team with a product manager, up to 6 engineers, and some also work directly with research and analytics. Together they own a part of Intercom, ship solutions to challenging problems and get feedback directly from customers.

We've had designers in key leadership roles, including at the exec level, from the very beginning. This has made design a core foundation of our company's DNA. This means that you'll never have to justify the importance of design.

We genuinely care about people and value kindness in our everyday interactions. You'll be able to be yourself, feel valued, supported, learn and grow no matter how experienced you are.

If you want to learn more about what it's like to work here, check out intercom.design, read what makes us different, and watch a keynote from our CEO talking about our mission, vision and the next chapter of Intercom.

What will I be doing? 

Act as a leader within the Product Design team, collaborating with other designers to make their work and the whole team better

Work through design problems from beginning to end: translating research insights into ideas that form disruptive new products and features, then designing the workflows and detailed interactions to realize them

Sketch and prototype ideas to quickly access viability, and design the fine grained details of interactions

Iterate based on feedback from the whole team

Work closely with engineers as they build and ship ideas

Own the success or failure of their design work and initiate design and engineering sprints to improve shipped work

Write about, present, and share what they have learned, both internally and with the wider community via our blog, books, and events

Experience designing digital products and systems, not just websites. You have helped ship products

Experience designing experiences that people can access on any type of device: desktop, tablet, phone

An appreciation of the entire product development process, from problem solving through to detailed UI and visual design

The ability to create beautiful high-fidelity mockups of your designs using Sketch, Figma, etc

The ability to create prototypes using Framer, Keynote, HTML/CSS/JS, etc

Excellent communicator of design work and your rationale behind proposals

Excellent self starter who can deeply collaborate with engineers

We're looking for a portfolio that clearly outlines the problems you were tackling with your design work. It should touch on the process you applied to tackling the challenges, rather than focusing just on visuals and landing pages. Your portfolio should be well structured and clear. Your experience should ideally focus on designing software products.
