Skills and experience:

• • Experience building and shipping multiple features that are broad/ambiguous in scope and encompass an end-to-end experience across a variety of platforms.
  • Interaction design experience with knowledge to define how an experience should behave based on understanding people’s needs, plus consideration of how this product will scale. Use appropriate prototyping tools to demonstrate how a particular flow or interaction will work.
  • Visual design experience with proficiency in typography, desktop/mobile UI, colour, layout, iconography and aesthetic sense and how these elements impact product function.
  • Strategic product thinking with experience in developing product goals, identifying opportunities, and making decisions based on the impact to people and the company.
