- Lead design for Merge’s core platform, from concept through launch
- Be very opinionated, sweat the details, strive for simplicity, and relentlessly push the broader team around you to uphold an exceptionally high design standard
- Partner with founders, product, and engineering to translate strategy into user-centered solutions
- Create and maintain a design system that balances speed with consistency
- Conduct customer research and prototype high-fidelity experiences to uncover friction and validate ideas
