Parkade's mission is to reshape cities and combat climate change by creating a world with far less parking. We build software that corporate buildings and apartment complexes use to improve parking utilization, revenue, enforcement and tenant experience at their properties — revolutionizing how parking works at buildings like these.

We've found product-market fit, with customers beating down our door and a fantastic business model. To date, our co-founder/CEO has done all of our design work. But as we're entering growth mode and have tens of thousands of people using Parkade daily, we want to up-level our product, and hire a top-notch product designer to own/found our design function.

That's where you come in. You'd take on our product roadmap, update our design system and review our existing product to help plan an overhaul.

### **Job description**

* Use Figma to design the UX/UI of Parkade's web and mobile products, including:

  * Researching user and business objectives in collaboration with Product

  * Translating user needs and business objectives into designs that help our customers get the job done (delightfully)

  * Prototyping and testing the efficacy of designed solutions

  * Building design system components and experiences from scratch, as needed (and using what we can from the existing design system)

* Gather feedback and figure out how to iterate and improve things you launch.

* Work collaboratively with our marketing lead to iterate on our brand.

* Work closely with the CEO to hash out the roadmap and solidify designs for our next projects.

* Lean on customer insights when needed and when time allows, but make good gut decisions if time is of the essence.

### **Experience**

* 4+ years of experience working as a UX/UI or Product Designer for a technology company

* At least 2 years with mobile app design experience

* At least 2 years working at a tech startup (<500 people) or 1 year as a founding/sole designer for a startup

* You know (er, love!) Figma and are familiar with the ins and outs of its advanced features

* Experience building UI components from scratch (founding designer, expanded an existing design system)

### **About you**

* You're located in or near San Francisco, and are interested in working out of our Mission office at least 2-3 days/week (on average). Only incredibly exceptional remote applicants will be considered.

* You're scrappy, and can balance between cutting corners and a perfectionist eye when needed.

* You're a visually-focused designer and have a keen eye for aesthetics, details, and pixel perfection.

* You feel comfortable designing from the ground up rather than sole from within an existing design system. Note: we do have a design system, but we're constantly designing new experiences that push its boundaries.

* You're disciplined and organized with your design. You lean heavily on symbols/components and (almost) always name your layers.

* You love a role with ambiguity and fast-paced change, and thrive in that world.

* You’re intentional about your design decisions and communicate them simply and clearly.

### **Bonus points**

* Experience working on a B2B product is a plus

* You care deeply about problems related to parking and the efficient use of space and resources in cities.

### **Benefits**

* **Competitive compensation** that includes a strong base comp, and a significant stake in Parkade's success

* **Healthcare** to ensure all your bases are covered for you and your family

* **Great culture** embodied in our small, high-caliber team of mission-driven doers

* ‍**Unlimited PTO** to give our employees a little extra R&R when they need it

* **Remote work program** to allow for flexibility between home and the office
