Who is Recruiting from Scratch:

Recruiting from Scratch is a premier talent firm that focuses on placing the best product managers, software, and hardware talent at innovative companies. Our team is 100% remote and we work with teams across the United States to help them hire. We work with companies funded by the best investors including Sequoia Capital, Lightspeed Ventures, Tiger Global Management, A16Z, Accel, DFJ, and more.

If you are a fit, the team will reach out to you about this role or any others that may be a fit for our clients.

Our Client

Our client is building a new format for capturing and sharing our lives online. They believe screenshots are the digital photographs of our generation. Our client envisions a world where screenshots are the social springboard of the curated internet. They are building the first screenshot-native technology to unlock the power of these digital photographs. Our client’s technology allows anyone to access the source content behind screenshots, instantly retrieving shopping links, songs, videos and more.

As they scale, they are excited to grow their world-class team as they work to fundamentally change digital expression. Their mission centers around creating joyful, inclusive online spaces that transcend the “walled gardens” of the internet. As such, they are focused on creating a culture where team members are empowered to show up as their full selves, take ownership, and collaborate around shared values. They value humility, empathy, creativity, accountability, and the idea that they are able to accomplish more together than alone.

About the Role

They’re looking to hire a founding product designer to lead UX, UI, and design. You will have autonomy to set the tone for the look and feel of their social app, work cross-functionally with their engineering and computer vision teams, and rapidly prototype (and ideate) new features.

Who You Are

• Exceptionally talented at simple UX, rapid prototyping, and systems thinking with the ability to develop features and improvements quickly.
• 3+ years of product design experience with a track record of scaling consumer-facing products/features. They are less focused on your years of experience and more on what you’ve accomplished. Ideally you’ve taken a consumer experience from 0 to 1 and design specifically with iPhones in mind.
• Strong communication skills & team-first mentality - you can translate your ideas visually, through writing, and verbally—and thrive working closely with other team members (cross functionally and within your discipline).
• Leadership & ability to execute independently - you can lead product development from end-to-end, working creatively to develop and own processes—and have the capacity to scale as a leader of larger teams over time.
• Intellectual curiosity and empathy - you operate with a “life-long learner” mentality, an excitement to figure out the “how”, “what” and “why” of problems, and an innovator’s mindset.
• Digitally native & product obsessed - you live and breathe online culture with a nuanced understanding of how young people interact online and strong opinions on how product affects behavior and culture. Bonus points if you’ve been online long enough to have been a Club Penguin aficionado or run a Taylor Swift Tumblr fan page.

Benefits

• Competitive salary and equity
• Technology stipend, learning + development budget
• Health, dental and vision insurance, paid parental leave
• A culture of inclusion, team-first mentality and the autonomy to pursue interesting and challenging work
• Unlimited vacation

They have a preference for candidates based in New York. However, they recognize that great talent comes from everywhere and would consider exceptional candidates from outside of our preferred geographies and offer relocation.
