What are you going to do?
We're looking for a product designer to help create and shape our products: fuel and loyalty platforms built for the US market. You'll lead projects end to end, working closely with engineering and stakeholders, and you'll help stand up design practice in our team. We expect a broad range of design skills, exceptional taste, and fluency with the latest AI design workflows.

What you'll own
Design end to end across our vendor-facing and internal surfaces: research, flows, UI, and the details that make it usable at volume.
Work directly with product and engineering from the start of a problem, not just at handoff, shaping what gets built and not only how it looks.
Use AI-assisted design and prototyping tools as part of your default workflow, moving from idea to tested design fast, and help bring those workflows into our existing legacy designs.
Establish research and customer insight practice, so evidence is embedded from problem framing through delivery.
Drive competitor and market analysis, including the best current design patterns and industry examples, and use it to shape design direction and inform strategic priorities across teams.
Ground decisions in analytics and real usage data rather than preference alone.
Build and maintain a design system that holds up as the product and the team grow.
Give engineering enough clarity to build confidently, without needing pixel-perfect specs for everything.

Requirements
5+ years designing digital products for mobile and web.
A portfolio that demonstrates both design sensibility and real product depth.
Demonstrated research ability: you can plan it, run it, and turn it into direction.
Fluency with AI tools, with the ability to work directly in code rather than relying solely on prompts.
Strong Figma fundamentals: components, auto layout, variables, and systems that hold up under other people's hands.
Excellent communication, with a track record of working effectively with US-based stakeholders.

Nice to have
Experience in retail, fueling, or loyalty domain products.
Experience improving user flows in complex domains with a large user base and high event volume.
Motion and brand design skills you can apply to product and marketing surfaces.
