Role
Who you are
- You are an experienced full-stack designer. While you might be stronger in certain areas than others, you’re comfortable with all aspects of design. You have an eye for visual craft and care deeply about typography and layout. You love to prototype end-to-end flows and microinteractions
- You are a systems thinker. You are thoughtful about things like network structure, follow models, user discovery, and privacy tools. You understand the importance of sequencing and stage your work accordingly. You build style guides and color palettes, and you design experiences where everything fits together
- You understand the psychology of social products. You constantly focus on user motivations. You wonder about how an interaction will make people feel and how it will affect their status. You think about different audiences. You look for the little big details that will delight people at just the right moment
- You are detail oriented. You take pride in thinking through every edge case, empty state, and error state. You notice when things are a half pixel off. You obsess over animations, transitions and copy because you know what a difference these things make
- You are fluent with tools. Your Figma files are meticulously organized. You have strong opinions on which tools to use and have finely-tuned systems for exporting assets, getting feedback, and working efficiently with engineers
- You take pride in what you do. You care deeply about your work. If something seems off, you come up with a good solution and fix it without being asked to do so. You’re proactive with suggestions and people know they can count on you to get things done
- You bias towards action
- You like to build and ship – favoring practical choices, speed and a respect for sequencing. You focus on the things that matter and push back on things that don’t. You make deadlines for yourself and you move fast
- You’re scrappy and entrepreneurial. You thrive in fast-paced environments and are comfortable with not knowing the answer to something. You are willing to roll up your sleeves no matter what the challenge is
- You enjoy your work. You love what you do, not because you feel you have to, but because you’re so excited to create something big for the world. Your favorite thing to do is to take on a huge challenge and pull it off
- You care about doing the right thing. You value diversity and go out of your way to ensure others feel welcome. You enjoy hanging out with your teammates, have a low-ego, and make the workplace more fun for everyone
What the job involves
- As an early member of the design team, you'll have a critical voice in shaping the future of Clubhouse and significant influence over the direction of the company
- As a member of the design team, you’ll work closely with our founders, product, research, engineering, data science, and marketing teams to design features for the Clubhouse product
- You’ll design features that ship. As part of the Clubhouse team, you will move fast. Whether it’s pushing a visual fix immediately after seeing it or designing a thoughtful invite model that will help Clubhouse scale to millions of users, you’ll constantly be building and shipping quality product. With your teammates, you’ll be amazed by how much you get done
- You’ll shape the product. You will use what you design—and talk with others while they are using it—every day. As the champion of the user, you will have major input into the product’s development and future direction. Your ideas will always be heard
- You’ll grow and improve rapidly. At Clubhouse you’ll be working with an incredible team, who love to learn from and teach each other. You’ll find yourself stretching to new areas, immersed in feedback, challenged by your teammates, and growing your skills on a daily basis
- You’ll be an owner. We believe in hiring people and giving them as much responsibility as they can handle. Whether it’s leading a visual redesign, building out a new platform, or designing a scalable network growth model, we will trust your judgment, give you autonomy, and always have your back
- You’ll create something meaningful. Social products allow people to connect in ways that were never before possible. When the telephone was invented, it suddenly allowed people to speak with others across the world. Thanks to FaceTime, grandparents everywhere can now watch their grandchildren grow up
- At Clubhouse, you’ll be figuring out something entirely new for the world—a positive product that helps fill everyone’s life with rich and meaningful friendship
Our take
Clubhouse is an invite-only audio chat social platform, catering to users who are turning away from mainstream social platforms. It makes talking, chatting, storytelling, and developing personal relationships more simple and effortless across the globe. With this approach, it is reducing the friction for human socialising in an increasingly digital world.
One big challenge for the company will be competing with larger platforms as they launch similar “social audio” features. This could make a real dent in Clubhouse’s market share, and it will also need to account for restrictions on its platform from countries such as China and the UAE.
That said, Clubhouse should at least be able to cash in on jumping on the social audio concept first. And, if it continues to roll out new features and focus on more intimate social connections, it will have a chance to carve itself a nice niche in the social media sector.
