What You Will Be Working On

As Principal Software Designer, you are destroying complexity as an art form. You will report directly to the CEO, PC.

You will be responsible for leading the design of our platform, ensuring that every interaction is intuitive, every screen is elegant, and every feature is a joy to use. You will play a critical role in shaping the product’s direction, working closely with leadership, product and engineering teams to bring your designs to life.

To Accomplish This, You Will

• Lead the design process from concept to execution, including user research, wireframing, prototyping, visual design, and interaction design.
• Develop and maintain a consistent design language and style guide that reflects our brand and product vision.
• Leverage data, user feedback, and research to refine the user journey.
• Drive the overall design vision for the product, aligned with the company’s long-term strategy and values.
• Inspire the team with innovative ideas and a commitment to creating a product that users love and remember.

Requirements

Hospitable.com is a remote-only and distributed company. Your location is not a requirement for this position. The ideal fit would work in a European or American (up to East Coast) timezone.

What We Are Looking For

• Leadership: Proven ability to lead design projects and collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.
• Experience: Rather than years, very senior experience in UI/UX design for a Saas product, with a world-class portfolio demonstrating your ability to create delightful, intuitive, and fluid experiences.
• Skills: You live and breathe in design tools. Nothing exotic: we use Whimsical for mockups, Figma for designs.
• Creativity: Ability to think outside the box and push conventional design to create something truly differentiated.
• Communication: Excellent communication skills, with the ability to articulate design concepts and decisions clearly to both technical (such as Ben, our frontend lead, whose dream car is a Mustang) and non-technical stakeholders.
• Passion: A deep passion for design, a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of what makes a product truly exceptional.
• Very special kudos if you are a short-term rental/Airbnb host or have been working in a short-term rental business
• Everything else is a lovely bonus that we’re excited to hear about!

Benefits

The company itself is also a product, one that we iterate on. We’re always improving and creating an environment where we all love to work.

• A supportive and caring team environment where you are trusted, not managed.
• The total budget for this role is between $149,400 and $166,000 depending on the cost of living in your location. We can hire talent internationally as contractors-or employees if you are based in the United States, the European Union, or Australia, taking into account payroll taxes to determine your gross compensation. The gross salary for US employees could be anywhere between $126,990 to $141,100.
• We also offer an extra compensation with RSUs (through our $HOST token). For this role, this represents $16,600/year.
• 35 days off per year, encouraged (including self-serve public holidays) and parental leave.
• Mental-health and emotional support with therapists on call through Slack by Spill.
• Recognized on Inc.’s list of Best Workplaces for 2023
