Job Description
We’re hiring a Lead UX Designer that can help us solve immediate, category-defining design problems for Augmented Reality. The ideal candidate has a portfolio that demonstrates experience solving for complex workflows and designing innovative interactions for a wide variety of users and interfaces.
This is a great opportunity for an individual contributor who has a powerful vision for what a spatial platform can be. You’ll design end-to-end experiences for people , spanning a breadth of digital properties from our on-device operating system to off-device developer tools—setting a standard of interaction that developers and end-users will measure all others against.
You should have an uncanny ability to create and articulate interactive concepts, break down abstract problems into wireframes that are easily understood by the entire team. You’re an individual contributor, but you also enjoy working with and mentoring the junior staff. You have the critical thinking skills to know what is adaptable from older design frameworks, and how to start exploring the unknown. You always seek to learn from others; from success, as well as failure. You think on your feet, and thrive on challenges that have never been solved before.
