• Scale and personalization: Build adaptable UX frameworks that support evolving machine learning models and a rapidly growing product catalog.
• Delivery and Execution: Lead projects from concept to execution - conducting discovery, building wireframes and flows, running evaluative UXR testing when needed, producing high-fidelity visuals, and partnering on final implementation.
• Bring a systems thinking: Design within and evolve a scalable design system, chipping in to a cohesive customer experience across platforms and devices.
• Influence at all levels: Present your work clearly and passionately to partners, including senior leadership and C-suite executives.
• Mentor and inspire: Elevate the craft of the team by sharing standard processes, sharing feedback, and championing design quality.

What You'll Need:

• 5+ years of experience in UX/product design, interaction design, or information architecture.
• Bachelor's degree in Design, HCI, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
• Experience with personalized, data-informed design experiences (e.g. ML-powered recommendations).
• Experience working on large-scale e-commerce or retail platforms.
• Familiarity with A/B testing and experimentation frameworks.
• Deliver design execution and influencing product, data science, and engineering partners.
• Design experience within e-commerce, product discovery, or content personalization experiences.
• Understanding of recommendation engines, search algorithms, or personalization systems.
• Strong portfolio showcasing high-impact, scalable product design work.
• Excellent visual, interaction, systems design skills.
• Strong communication and storytelling skills-especially around sophisticated or technical concepts.
• Willingness to travel occasionally and work in-office in either Bellevue or Boston hubs.
