Sr. UX Designer, IMDb

IMDb is the world’s most popular source for movie, TV, and celebrity content, reaching an audience of more than 250 million unique visitors per month. We're looking for a Senior UX Designer to join IMDb's Design and Research team. You'll own end-to-end design for customer-facing experiences that help hundreds of millions of entertainment fans discover, decide, and engage with content they love. You'll work across web, iOS, and Android platforms, partnering closely with Product Management, Engineering, Research, and Marketing to ship experiences at scale. This role requires a designer who can operate independently, navigate ambiguity, and drive design decisions with data and customer insights. You'll influence product strategy, raise the bar on craft, and deliver measurable impact for our customers. The most successful candidate in this role will be able to think big; envisioning design solutions across multiple platforms, and diving deep to explore all possible paths in order to deliver engaging customer experiences.
