- Visualize ideas and concepts in order to communicate them effectively to internal stakeholders and customers.
- Produce journey maps, wireframes, mockups, prototypes, and other collateral as needed to drive our product development efforts.

- 3+ years of end-to-end experience as a Product Designer (visual, interaction, research, and everything in between).
- A portfolio demonstrating a comprehensive understanding of user problems, the ability to create elegant and effortless solutions out of complexity, as well as your storytelling skills; from low-fidelity sketches through to the outcomes you achieved.
- An in-depth understanding of design thinking, usability heuristics, inclusive design, design systems, and visual design skills (information design, typography, colour, etc.).
- Your communication is crisp, clear, and effective both in written and verbal formats - and you always know your audience; you've delivered complex software designs before and can speak to their successes.
- Empathy for all stakeholders, but you have no problem tactfully defending your design decisions and processes; you embrace feedback from your team with a desire to continuously improve your craft.
- Proficient in modern product design tools.
- Knowledge of programming technologies.
- Experience with product analytics tools such as Pendo and Fullstory is considered an asset.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
