Quartzy is seeking a talented Senior Product Designer (E-Commerce) to join our Product team to help us create new, magical shopping experiences for our customers.  You’ll have a chance to play a major part in growing our product organization as our company scales.

About Quartzy:

About You:
Our customers are doing some of the coolest work in the world(some are literally attempting to cure cancer), and you are excited about making their lives easier by building seamless shopping experiences. You have an insatiable curiosity about why customers behave in certain ways, and an instinct on what to build to solve their core problems. You can map user flows in your sleep and understand where bottlenecks or pain points arise. You are an expert in design systems, but know when to break the rules. You adroitly interpret qualitative and quantitative data, using them to iterate toward effortlessly usable solutions. You are just as excited to work with a team on building a company as you are to work on any one particular feature, and understand how design fits in helping all teams achieve their objectives.

  • Create project timelines and prioritize current projects

  • Quantitative: You understand how to interpret purchasing funnel data, A/B test data, and/or user research data, in a way that leads to a design action plan
  • Open Mind: You take feedback without defensiveness and will incorporate others’ perspectives if they make sense
  • Take Action: You like to move quickly and are always iterating on ideas
