What you will do

• Own end-to-end design for mobile features, from problem framing and user flows through high-fidelity UI, prototyping, and developer handoff.
• Design companion apps for simulators and connected hardware, covering setup, calibration, live sessions, and performance tracking.
• Create and maintain detailed Figma flows, prototypes, component libraries, interaction states, and edge cases for engineering.
• Partner with Product Managers and Engineers from discovery through launch, implementation, and QA while balancing user needs, technical constraints, and business goals.
• Use user research, analytics, and usability testing to validate decisions, iterate after launch, and present design rationale to stakeholders and leadership.
• Help evolve shared design systems and accessible experiences across iOS and Android.

Requirements

• 3+ years of product design experience shipping consumer or professional mobile applications for iOS and/or Android.
• Portfolio with 2–3 case studies showing direct end-to-end ownership of shipped product work, including problem framing, user flows, wireframes, high-fidelity UI, prototypes, iteration, and user or product-data feedback.
• Proficiency in Figma, including detailed user flows, component libraries, and interactive prototypes.
• Strong understanding of iOS Human Interface Guidelines and Android Material Design, including how they differ.
• Ability to define problems and work quickly in ambiguous, fast-paced environments.
• Experience working directly with engineers through implementation and QA, not only during handoff.
• Clear communication skills for explaining design decisions to design and non-design audiences.
• Ability to perform essential office-based work, including extended computer use, frequent cross-department collaboration, and lifting up to 25 lbs.

Nice to have

• Experience designing connected hardware and software experiences, including Bluetooth/BLE pairing, device onboarding, setup, calibration, live-session, or device-status flows.
• Experience contributing to, auditing, or scaling a component library or design system.
• Experience writing or closely collaborating on UX copy and microcopy.
• Experience planning or supporting user interviews, usability tests, and synthesis of findings into product decisions.
• Comfort incorporating AI tools such as Figma AI or AI-assisted prototyping into the design workflow.
• Interest or background in sports, fitness, or performance-tracking products.
