Product / UX Designer

Cross-platform product design
Own end-to-end design for a variety of new features across product surfaces (onboarding, personalization, discovery, playback, subscription flows) across iOS, Android, web, connected TV and automotive systems. Ensure cohesion and accessibility across touchpoints, and work closely with engineering during implementation to maintain fidelity and polish.
User-centered problem solving
Translate product goals into clear flows, wireframes and high-quality UI. Use research insights, user feedback and data to refine and iterate on your work.
Engagement & retention design
Create experiences that help viewers get more value from Haystack by improving discovery, enjoyment and long-term retention.
Collaboration & communication
Work with founders, engineering and QA to scope projects, validate assumptions, support implementation and ensure designs are built as intended. Communicate design decisions clearly and collaboratively.
Design system contributions
Contribute to our cross-platform design system — including components, patterns, interactions and visual standards — to improve consistency and scalability as the product evolves.
Execution & iteration
Prototype solutions, test concepts quickly, gather insights and ship incremental improvements. Help design and evaluate product experiments; you’ll help shape hypotheses, create testable UI variations, review results, and use insights to refine the experience.
