- Interviewing users and developing a comprehensive understanding of them and their problems.
- Brainstorming and iterating on new concepts to bring to life.
- Create an elegant design system and framework.
- Generate user flows, wireframes, interactive prototypes, and high-fidelity mockups for our web app and extension.
- Working with our engineering team to help ship these features.
- Design and use the metrics we collect to inform how our product should evolve.
Taking into account the entire product experience, you'll also work on projects that span:

- Crafting beautiful email templates.
- Overseeing the production of product launch videos.
What you can expect
- Work directly with the CEO daily to help steer the company and product vision over time.
- Play a core role in developing the brand and identity of Smartcuts.
- Take the reins of a user-centric design for the product.
In short, you will have an important hand in everything we do to craft our product, company, and brand. You will be helping to design a product that has the potential to become as iconic and ubiquitous as AirTable, Notion, and Excel.
