- Ability to think at a high level about product strategy and vision
- Ability to use prototyping to define interaction details and prove out design concepts, whether in code, design tools, or through other methods

What the job involves
- The Product Design team is responsible for iterating, prototyping, and user testing designs to ensure a pixel-perfect product
- You will collaborate closely with other designers, as well as cross-functional partners and stakeholders to get your designs to the finish line.
- It’s not uncommon to go from understanding technical constraints to polishing design details; or to go from iterating around video encoder performance to addressing cross-platform needs.
- As a Product Designer, you will be deeply involved throughout the development process, from ideation to to production.
- You will own the experience for a significant part of the Philo product.
- We are a small, collaborative, and mighty team. We bounce ideas off each other, nerd out on the latest Figma update, and leave our egos at the door. We are looking for the next designer to level up our already very talented design team

Our take
Streaming services offer cheaper options than cable TV packages, but prices are beginning to rise. This is partly due to packages beginning to bundle costly sports and other media packages that viewers do not necessarily want.
Philo offers a streaming service that aims to provide a streamlined selection of channels as an affordable, yet comprehensive, viewing option. The streamlined and high-quality channel offerings are available to viewers at $30 per month, a price significantly lower than standard cable subscriptions, with the base option including around 60 live channels and over 75,000 on-demand offerings.
Philo stands out through features like a co-viewing service that lets up to three people watch the same program together, enhanced cloud DVR functionality, and expanded compatibility with smart TVs and popular streaming devices such as Roku, Fire TV, and Apple TV. These updates demonstrate Philo's continued focus on accessibility, user experience, and cost-effective entertainment.
