Senior Product Designer

Parkade's mission is to reshape cities and combat climate change by creating a world with far less parking. We build software that corporate buildings and apartment complexes use to improve parking utilization, revenue, enforcement and tenant experience at their properties — revolutionizing how parking works at buildings like these.

We've found product-market fit, with customers beating down our door and a fantastic business model. In our history, we've only lost a single customer! To date, our co-founder/CEO has done all of our design work.

But as we're entering growth mode and have tens of thousands of people using Parkade daily, we want to up-level our product, and hire a fantastic product designer to found our design team. You'd take on our product roadmap, update our design system and review our existing product to help plan an overhaul.

Job description

• Use Figma to design the UX/UI of Parkade's web and mobile products, including:

  • Researching user and business objectives in collaboration with Product

  • Translating user needs and business objectives into designs that help our customers get the job done (delightfully)

  • Prototyping and testing the efficacy of designed solutions 

  • Building design system components and experiences from scratch, as needed (and using what we can from the existing design system)

• Gather feedback and figure out how to iterate and improve things you launch.

• Work collaboratively with our marketing lead to iterate on our brand.

• Work closely with the CEO to hash out the roadmap and solidify designs for our next projects.

• Lean on customer insights when needed and when time allows, but make good gut decisions if time is of the essence.

Experience

• 4+ years of experience working as a UX/UI or Product Designer for a technology company

• At least 2 years with mobile app design experience

• At least 2 years working at a tech startup (<500 people) or 1 year as a founding/sole designer for a startup

• You know (er, love!) Figma and are familiar with the ins and outs of its advanced features

• Experience building UI components from scratch (founding designer, expanded an existing design system)

About you

• You're located in or near San Francisco, and are interested in working out of our Mission office at least 2-3 days/week (on average). Only incredibly exceptional remote applicants will be considered.

• You're scrappy, and can balance between cutting corners and a perfectionist eye when needed.

• You're a visually-focused designer and have a keen eye for aesthetics, details, and pixel perfection.

• You feel comfortable designing from the ground up rather than sole from within an existing design system. Note: we do have a design system, but we're constantly designing new experiences that push its boundaries.

• You're disciplined and organized with your design. You lean heavily on symbols/components and (almost) always name your layers.

• You love a role with ambiguity and fast-paced change, and thrive in that world.

• You’re intentional about your design decisions and communicate them simply and clearly.

Bonus points

• Experience working on a B2B product is a plus

• You care deeply about problems related to parking and the efficient use of space and resources in cities.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation that includes a strong base comp, and a significant stake in Parkade's success

• Healthcare to ensure all your bases are covered for you and your family

• Great culture embodied in our small, high-caliber team of mission-driven doers

• ‍Unlimited PTO to give our employees a little extra R&R when they need it

• Remote work program to allow for flexibility between home and the office
