We are currently looking for a Product Designer with broad UX and visual design skills who wants to help create products that change the way people use mobile commerce.
About You
We are looking for a designer who relentlessly pursues solutions —not just for beautiful design, but also for a seamless user experience as well. The right candidate will have a genuine passion for web and mobile technologies, have a strong understanding of modern web and mobile design patterns, and possess demonstrated understanding of modern design tools and HTML/CSS. Also essential: the ability to analyze customer behavior to ensure that the product experience is simple, seamless, sticky, and always enjoyable.
What We Look for in Candidates
This role is essential for guiding the future of our products, so we take it seriously. You need to have depth and breadth. Depth is critical for understanding ownership and how much work you put into an end-to-end experience. We want evidence that you have both thought about a complete product and considered all the complex pieces that go into it. We want a designer who understands designing systems as much as the micro UI components, with product thinking that is mature and complementary to visual and UX design.
At P97 Networks we don’t have pure product managers — product designers are also product managers. We need people who demonstrate strength in both areas. Put simply: you should feel ready to rally a team made up of people from around the company to help bring your vision to reality.

Our teams are not only solving difficult problems for people, but they have fun doing it — which is the great thing about working here.
