Role
Who you are
- Reliable Designer: Your eye for design is strong. You have a high standard for UX and readability, specifically on mobile screens. You move from sketching to final comps at a fast pace
- Natural learner and problem-solver: You can hold many different product concepts and logic in your head to quickly address the internal team’s questions & issues about our complex product. You're resourceful and not afraid to ask questions
- Strong communicator: You're thorough with how you explain issues and product solutions so that anyone in the company can understand (written and verbal). You listen and take notes so you can ask good questions that lead you to find the core problem. You follow up with stakeholders to get feedback on designs, and they like you
- Product Minded: You know if a product is robust or misses the mark. You get excited about design and development. You use the product yourself daily to get in the shoes of different customers
- Technical: Product design at a tech company requires a hybrid of product and technical expertise. You use the following programs/tools: Google sheets, inspect/debug browser dev tools, Fullstory, Front, and Slack
- Humble: You don’t take design feedback personally. You understand the first design you make will most likely not be the best solution, so you’re excited to show it to people to get feedback sooner rather than later
- Creator at heart, UX & UI designer
- Worked on a mobile product for over 3 years
- Have a strong design portfolio to share
- Learn on the job at any moment, open to having conversations
- Technical enough to tell us generally how the internet works
- Ideally, you have done Agile sprints (SCRUM) for over 3 years
- History of delivering fast-paced design deliverables
- Figma (design prototyping)
- You’ve designed for mobile
- You have a history of facilitating cross-team meetings
- Experience of conducting end-user research/interviews
What the job involves
- You’ll build on the existing infrastructure while developing other new features from the ground up
- Solve business and operations problems with products by talking with other teams in the company so you can develop new product ideas that you can design and iterate on
- Iterate your design solutions before they are given to engineering to ensure the best user experience
Our take
Sunroom Rentals is a mobile-first digital marketplace that was created to help busy estate agents optimise their efficiency. It allows prospective renters to view and lease Austin properties virtually, and helps property owners and managers to boost their profitability.
The founding team saw success with their previous delivery app Favor, and are applying a similar start-local strategy with which they hope to expand across Texas in future. The approach appears to have won them strong uptake in Austin, with leasing speeds reportedly 5x faster than the market average, and good 2021 investment numbers.
Sunroom is well-positioned, too, to take advantage of the increasing attention paid to Austin by the tech industry and VCs, with many startups and tech workers moving to the Texan city. It is a market with plenty of competitors, like Abodo, Rently, and Tour24, but many have limited geographic reach meaning there is much still to play for.
