About the team

The Evernote Design team is the creative collective responsible for producing a seamless and delightful user experience, from sign-up to the thousandth note. We work collaboratively with cross-functional teams to define and deliver product experiences that enhance people’s lives at work and at play.

As a Product Designer on our Core Experience team, your main focus will be crafting a user-friendly and intuitive experience for new features, and deliver those to millions of people who rely on our apps to stay organized and productive. Together, we work to continuously improve and refine the usability and aesthetics of the Evernote experience for our users around the globe.

• You'll craft and deliver high-level user stories, UX flows, wireframes, prototypes, design mockups, specs, and production assets.
• You'll "own" the designs you create from end-to-end—soliciting data and usability testing, building business cases, and looking after the experience past spec delivery and through to implementation.
• You'll deliver visually delightful designs that reflect modern aesthetic and interaction standards.
• You're able to effectively negotiate your design solutions with Product and Engineering, and validate through user research. We embrace cross-functional strategic leadership and are active collaborators with our product management, engineering and marketing partners.
