- The API squad's mission is to allow Yousign users to integrate our electronic signature solutions directly into their Product, service, or tool. You would be expected to work on improving our customer experiences (implementation of new connectors, simplification of the API setup experience, ...) but also by evolving our internal tools (preview tools)
- The Scale squad, on the other hand, aims to meet the business objectives of our users: managing their consumption, managing their subscription independently (in connection with Yousign's Self-serve issues), and particularly on the "add-ons" part. The mission of the Scale squad is also to support Yousign's growth by optimizing communication flows between the application and the tools used by the Business Operation and Finance teams
- 1 - Design simple and intuitive interfaces that meet the needs of users within your squads
- Understand the objective and impact of your squads API & Scale
- In collaboration with the PMs, identify the methods and workshops to implement for the discovery and delivery phases in order to achieve your objectives
- Actively participate in user research (preparation, conducting, analysis, restitution)
- Conduct participatory design workshops within the squad
- Develop pragmatic solutions, aligned with the design vision, consistent with existing and compatible with operational constraints
- Produce all Design deliverables: user journey, wireframes, interactive prototypes, ..
- Evaluate the performance of these solutions with user tests before development
- Produce all the elements necessary for the implementation of the models by the development team and ensure monitoring until put into production
- Support the launch of products and features in collaboration with PMM and marketing
- Evaluate performance by following the KPIs after production deployment
- 2 - Be an active part of the Design Team
- Be proactive in improving our methods and the quality of the product
- Contribute to the evolution of the Design System
- Monitor product design trends, software, and methods, and share this watch with the team
- Regularly share your skills and expertise with the rest of the team

Our take
The global electronic signature market is projected to grow to over $35 billion by 2029. Well-known Adobe Sign and DocuSign have been in the game for a while, though YouSign has stepped onto the scene hoping to become the eSignature platform predominantly used by the European market.
The company has two signature products, a web app that is ready to use from anywhere and an API, which can be easily integrated into business softwares. The signatures are eIDAS-compliant and legally binding so clients can focus more on their productivity and teamwork and worry less about paperwork.
The company targets new customers rather than attempting to convert from competitors - SMBs are its target market, hoping to show newer businesses the need for and ease of electronic signatures. Acquiring $ 36.6 million in 2021 in a round of funding meant the company could scale its team and market share. In early 2022 YouSign bought Canyon, a documentation and workflow automation specialist. This means that YouSign is now propelling into a new dimension.
