Company mission
To make life easier and enable people to save their time for what really matters. They are setting out to make running a home services business dead simple.
Role
Who you are
- An ideal role for someone who wants to make a visible impact in a small, fast-moving team
- Have 3–5+ years in product design or UI/UX design
- Obsess over visual detail and interaction quality
- Think in systems, not just screens
- Communicate clearly and collaborate fluidly with PMs and engineers
- Move quickly while maintaining high standards
- Are comfortable being both scrappy and polished when needed
- Make evidence-based decisions using research and product data
What the job involves
- As a UX/UI Designer at LawnStarter, you will bring exceptional digital experiences to life across our multi-brand ecosystem
- You’ll own the design of clear, intuitive, responsive interfaces that make it simple for customers and Pros to get value from our products
- You’ll work closely with Product, Engineering, Research, and Growth to turn validated insights into high-performing designs that ship quickly and at a high bar
- This role blends craft excellence, systems thinking, and cross-functional collaboration
- Customers come to us for mowing, landscaping, and other home services — entering through three different brands with slightly different expectations
- Behind the scenes, our workflows and logistics are complex
- You’ll help translate that complexity into simple, intuitive, trustworthy interfaces across LawnStarter, Lawn Love, and HomeGnome
- Your designs help customers feel grounded and confident, no matter which brand they’re in
- With a small but mighty team shipping constantly, design consistency can drift (one-off components, visual mismatches, bespoke patterns.) You’ll help evolve our design system, tighten consistency, and create the reusable patterns that help us ship faster without sacrificing quality
- Your work becomes the foundation that accelerates every future initiative
- Your work isn’t just about craft
- It’s about impact
- You’ll design flows that improve conversion, reduce friction, lower support volume, and increase task success
- Your decisions will be backed by research, usability testing, and behavioral data
- Shipping well is a team sport
- You’ll partner closely with engineers to ensure your designs are buildable, accessible, and accurately implemented
- You’ll join QA cycles, advocate for quality, and help reduce rework through clearer specs and better alignment
- We’re still early in building our design rituals and standards
- You’ll help shape our ways of working, from component usage to documentation to cross-team collaboration, setting the bar for what good looks like as we grow
- Create pixel-perfect, responsive UI for mobile and web across all brands
- Partner closely with engineering on design implementation and QA
- Evolve and maintain the multi-brand design system. Contribute 2+ components quarterly
- Translate research insights into intuitive, high-performing screens and flows
- Deliver thorough handoff documentation with specs, states, and interaction details
- Ensure accessibility and brand consistency across all experiences
- Support usability testing and iterate quickly based on findings
- Success looks like…
- Customers experience a unified, polished, trustworthy interface
- Engineering moves faster due to clear specs and consistent patterns
- The design system scales across brands with stability and clarity
- UX improvements measurably enhance conversion, retention, and satisfaction
- Cross-functional collaboration feels lighter, smoother, and more predictable
Our take
When it comes to lawn maintenance, many homeowners typically have to deal with several contractors. This can make lawn care more complicated and expensive than it needs to be. LawnStarter solves this problem by aggregating lawn mowing, fertilizing, and maintenance into one convenient purchase point.
As a marketplace, LawnStarter focuses on helping existing lawn care businesses grow, rather than trying to push their own services. This differentiates them from other providers. The company has seen impressive growth since it was first founded, and it now operates in 120 cities around the US. According to LawnStarter's CEO, the company's revenue has grown at a rate of 100% a year since its inception.
To date, LawnStarter has raised around $18 million in funding and surpassed $100 million in bookings, which is a testament to investors' and customers' confidence in the product. This confidence will be instrumental to LawnStarter's future success, as the lawn care market has grown increasingly competitive in recent years.
