Our values

1. Put yourself in the customer’s shoes. We care deeply about serving our customers above all else.
2. No job is too small. Details matter, even if nobody will ever see them.
3. Every problem is an opportunity. Any solution that is clever, difficult to reproduce, or takes serious guts is an opportunity to widen our moat.
4. Own the problem. Not your solution. Best idea wins.
5. It doesn’t get easier. We just get faster. There is no finish line. Every day is a step toward compounding success. This is a marathon toward excellence.

Position

• Act as a multiplier by empowering your team to perform at their best while also being willing to roll up your sleeves and execute when necessary.
• Set and drive the design vision, ensuring alignment with company goals and values.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional partners (Product, Engineering, Marketing, etc.) to deliver exceptional design outcomes.
• Own the end-to-end design process, from strategy and concept to final delivery, ensuring consistency and high-quality execution.

• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to influence and collaborate effectively with stakeholders at all levels.
• Experience in mobile-first design.
• A passion for creating intuitive, impactful user experiences in a fast-paced, growth-oriented environment.
• Interest or experience in the real estate industry is a plus.

 

What will be challenging

• We’re a growing company (~500 people right now) with big goals. If you prefer set ways of working in a slower-pace environment, this role isn’t for you
• We’re still growing and evolving, which means things won’t be perfect and there will be challenges. We’re looking for someone with a high agency mindset who sees challenges as opportunities for growth.
• We are critical of the work, not the person. Expect to be challenged in your thinking, and we expect you to do the same for others.
