Role
Who you are
- 4+ years of professional experience in user experience and product design
- Strong production design execution, you can take a feature from direction to shippable states across multiple platforms
- An eye for the details that matter — contrast, enlarged text, crop, and platform-specific behavior
- Strong stakeholder management skills, help the team navigate ambiguity and set the vision and strategy
- Fluency with AI-assisted design tooling, and clarity on where it helps (spec drafts, coverage tracking) versus where your own judgment is required
- Bring a deep empathy for customer needs and insights as well as an intuitive grasp of the business problems we’re trying to solve
- Comfort working across the product development spectrum: strategy, ideation, concept work, pixel-level details, and front-end development and implementation
- Fluency with both mobile and responsive web design principles and best practices
What the job involves
- Are you excited by the challenge of fast-paced growth, seeing your designs come to life, and collaborating with a world-class design team? If so, this is the role for you. Please include a portfolio link along with your resume
- You'll own design end to end for your product area, building the screens, states, and platform-specific treatments that ship great experiences to neighbors
- Owning production design for your product area across iOS, Android, mobile web, and desktop web
- Setting up a system to track design progress and status against the team's roadmap
- Serving as the go-to design representative in planning meetings and daily check-ins, making fast design decisions when needed
- Applying Nextdoor's design-system components correctly, and knowing when a custom, one-off solution is the right call
- Handing off clear, detailed specs to engineering and testing on real devices before launch
- Participating in in-person Nextdoor events such as trainings, off-sites, volunteer days, and team building exercises
- Building in-person relationships with team members and contributing to Nextdoor's company culture
Our take
Nextdoor is a private social network that aims to encourage social interaction between neighbours and make people aware of crime in their area.
The social network has had huge success in the United States and has expanded internationally, with Nextdoor now present in more than 242,000 neighbourhoods around the world.
The company's main competition comes from local Facebook groups, which have become less popular due to their limited functionality. Nextdoor's laser focus on building out its app for neighborhoods has helped it to build a better product. Its advertising partnership with Oracle, launched in 2022, will help bring more transparency to Nextdoor's sponsorships.
