Product Designer

Cavallo is looking for a self-motivated Product Designer who is excited to work on a wide variety of design problems and has an appreciation for human-centered design.

At Cavallo, we believe the best way to bring immediate value to products and users is via a strong relationship between design & technology.

We believe the best-designed products have a shelf life longer than one major release, and that they collect data to inform future iterations.

We are looking for a designer who understands the complexities of design systems, has an appreciation for iterative design, and has a strategic eye for all things UX.

If you have experience designing across the web, and mobile platforms, you may be who we are looking for! We believe designers should be close to the project’s codebase, so bonus points if you have a passion for writing HTML & CSS, and EVEN MORE bonus points if you know React.

We believe in leveling up every day, and that the best designers are the ones who see the big picture and seize the opportunity for improvement.

A typical day of a Product Designer at Cavallo would include :

• Championing the role of human-centered design throughout our organization;
• Conducting user research to gain a deeper understanding of users’ needs and behaviors;
• Performing usability testing to uncover issues in designs;
• Designing user-flows, wireframes, Hi-Fi comps, and prototypes;
• Developing cohesive and consistent user experiences for a variety of products;
• Collaborating with engineers to implement design;
• Contributing to pattern libraries, style guides, and other guideline documentation.

This may be the job for you if :

• At Cavallo, we look at passion and skill more than years of experience, but you must have at least 4+ years of experience in the product design space.
• You have an online portfolio or work samples that showcase your user-centered design solutions, including data visualizations;
• You have the ability to demonstrate design best practices for web and mobile apps;
• You are proficient in wireframing, design, testing, and prototyping tools (we currently use Figma);

• You are skilled in prioritization, communication, and presentation;

• Bonus points if you know React and have experience working in an Agile environment.

Why should you apply?

• Be a part of a high-performing Product Development Team responsible for disrupting the distribution software industry;
• Work with collaborative colleagues who seek out and value each other’s input and feedback;
