Description

  • Embed within Core Shopping workstreams to improve the visual and interaction quality of browse, search, item detail, cart, and checkout experiences.
  • Act as a bridge between product teams and the design language system to validate and integrate new patterns without fragmentation.
  • Partner with product designers to explore and scale new interaction patterns, modules, and components.
  • Evolve the design language through product work by shaping components, patterns, and interaction models across surfaces and teams.
  • Define and refine UI components, layouts, and patterns with strong attention to clarity, hierarchy, and consistency.
  • Set the visual and interaction design bar across the product, especially in trust-sensitive transactional moments.
  • Drive cohesion and continuity across end-to-end shopping journeys from browse through final checkout.
  • Create reusable flows, templates, and code-adjacent prototypes, and partner with engineers on feasible, accessible, and performant implementations.
  • Lead high-impact initiatives end to end when needed, including framing, exploration, prototyping, delivery, launch, and cross-functional alignment.
  • Apply modern AI tools in daily workflows and within the internal Design Lab to explore motion, image generation, and code-driven prototypes.

Requirements

  • 15+ years designing consumer-facing digital products across web and mobile.
  • Portfolio demonstrating complex, multi-step transactional journeys and system-level thinking across high-density catalog surfaces.
  • Deep experience in systems thinking and working with design language systems or foundations teams.
  • Exceptional visual design and UI craft with experience defining or evolving design language systems in consumer products.
  • Experience working in an agency or client-facing environment with multiple stakeholders and real-world constraints.
  • Strong point of view on visual systems, interaction patterns, and design language as a differentiator.
  • Experience bridging product and systems work while maintaining cohesion and scalability.
  • Proven ability to navigate ambiguity and influence across multi-team environments.
  • Comfort embedding within product teams while maintaining accountability to broader system integrity.
  • Strong communication and storytelling skills, with fluency in Figma and Google Slides.
  • Base knowledge of emerging AI tools and comfort experimenting daily; the team primarily uses Claude and additional Design Lab tools for motion, image creation, and code-driven prototypes.
  • Preferred: Experience designing for e-commerce, grocery, or marketplace products.
  • Preferred: Familiarity with meal planning, nutrition, health goals, and personalization.
  • Preferred: Experience designing high-visibility, content-rich surfaces such as search results, browse grids, and item detail pages.
  • Preferred: Experience working within and evolving large-scale design systems.
  • Preferred: Comfort influencing distributed, cross-functional teams without direct authority.
