Digital Product Designer

Daylight Design San Francisco is looking for a Digital Product Designer (exact title dependent on experience). We are looking for individuals who have fluidity with the human-centered design process, strong conceptual and creative thinking skills, and excellent quality of craft execution. Because Daylight is a small studio, we prioritize building our team with people who are experts in one discipline and also have the desire to explore, dabble, fail, and grow in others.

‍

The role requires someone with a strong background in human-centered design and substantial experience in real world digital product execution and implementation. Activities may include:

• Crafting interfaces for consumer (for profit and non-profit clients) and business applications
• Create wireframes, sketches, IAs, prototypes (both low- and high-fidelity), and taking those all the way into final designs
• Work with developers to prepare and ship designs
• Collaborate and work seamlessly with a multidisciplinary team of designers, researchers, strategists and project managers to align on objectives and goals and iteratively develop the best solutions
• Work on a variety of projects – from broad, explorative prompts to pixel perfect designs for shipping
• Create concepts that raise the bar in terms of quality 
• Participate in user research - go out in the field to build empathy with real users and to document research learnings for analysis
• Collaborate internationally with our offices in Munich and Seoul and perhaps even travel to these locations if/when project demands
• Collaborate directly with clients
• Present work back to clients

You’ll get to work on projects like:

• Ebenbuild – Increasing survival rates of patients with acute respiratory distress by creating a digital lung “twin”
• Santa Clara County Housing Authority – Reducing the burden for public housing tenants through a digital solution‍
• Melon – ​​Transforming Korea's top music streaming service into a holistic music experience

• Great visual intuition and a high level of digital design craft
• A degree in interaction design, computer science, visual design or equivalent
• 3+ years of professional design experience, with 2+ years in digital product design or equivalent role 
• Solid experience in design thinking (human-centered design) methodology and a track record of effective and impactful UX/UI design work
• Fluency in collaborative design and prototyping software (e.g. Figma, Sketch, InVision, etc.)
• Ability to clearly communicate concepts through wireframes, flows, mockups, and prototypes
• Strong experience in UI execution/implementation; have shipped multiple products
• Familiarity with a range of coding languages (html, css, javascript, etc)
• Familiarity with user research and synthesis
• Familiarity with service design / system design 
• Willingness to push beyond the obvious solution to find the best one 
• Ability to communicate effectively with colleagues and clients to solve problems
• The ability to apply skills broadly and an eagerness to learn from a breadth of design talents, experiences and backgrounds.
• Fluent English skills 
• Curiosity and scrappiness about finding new ways to create highly functional digital prototypes is a major bonus
  

• Work on a wide range of meaningful design projects
• Guidance and feedback from senior designers and partners
• Potential for social-impact focused work
• Collaboration with a diverse, global creative team

We’re looking for someone who lives in (or is willing to relocate to) the San Francisco Bay Area. Team members can work remotely up to 50% of the time.

Daylight Design is a global design and innovation firm committed to positive social and commercial impact. We combine fluency in the human-centered design process with deep skills in design execution. We are intentionally small, with ~30 individuals across our three studios in San Francisco, Seoul and Munich. Our size allows us to be selective about the work we take on; we only engage in projects that are interesting and net-positive for the world. Daylight is an Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) employer and we strongly encourage candidates from backgrounds that are underrepresented in design to apply.
