📋 Description

• Automattic, the tech powerhouse behind WordPress.com, Jetpack, Tumblr, WooCommerce, and more, is looking for seasoned Product Designers to help us keep the web free and open. • Design is at the core of what we do: designing experiences for millions of users who actively use WordPress, WooCommerce, Tumblr, and all of the products within our ecosystem. • We’re on the lookout for talented designers who are passionate about world-class user experience, deeply understand the needs of our users, and are interested in working with a diverse and global team. • You will also be working closely with engineers, marketers, and customer support specialists from around the world in a fully remote company to create websites and themes that make online publishing and commerce accessible to everyone. • Design exceptional WordPress websites and themes for multiple clients, events, and Automattic products. • Iterate actively on designs at all levels of fidelity, from wireframes to mockups to site builds, informed by project scope, client strategy, and business goals. • Communicate and share often in written, verbal, and visual forms (including client calls) to create alignment and move the work toward implementation. • Collaborate regularly with engineers to QA and launch high-quality experiences. • Contribute to both Automattic products (via feedback) and the larger open-source and design communities.

🎯 Requirements

• Deep understanding of modern website design and theming considerations. Knowledge of WordPress block themes and Gutenberg is a huge bonus. • Past work experience that is relevant for Automattic: remote work, WordPress, e-commerce, site editors, etc. • A keenness for identifying user needs, defining clear solutions, and delivering those through detailed design. • The flexibility to design in low and high fidelity and choose the most efficient and responsible process for the job at hand. • The ability to integrate feedback, validate, and iterate on designs while being mindful of our customers, contributors, and insights gleaned by our support teams. • Excellent written and verbal communication skills—you’ll collaborate with others and present your work regularly in a written format. • Proficiency in design and prototyping tools (we use Figma) and familiarity with website development cycles. • Strong UI and visual design skills with a portfolio showcasing your craft in both written and visual form. • Familiarity with remote work (or excitement to try it!)

🏖️ Benefits

• Open vacation policy • Competitive base salary
