The Inspire User Experience (iUX) team helps build products and services savored by millions of guests daily.
When you first think about an Inspire brand (Arby’s, Jimmy John’s, Buffalo Wild Wings, Rusty Taco, SONIC), you might think about getting great food, as fast as you want it, in one of our beautiful 11,000+ locations. Simple, easy, and awesome, right? But behind the scenes is a deeper story: one of high growth, massive online adoption, and large challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
In 2018, we started on a mission to create a single, signature digital strategy for Inspire, and we need more bright minds to help execute our vision. Inspire is on the hunt for a UX Designer I with a passion for e-commerce, a knack for innovation, and someone who is excited to help us write the rest of our story.
ABOUT THE WORK
We are original disruptors in the quick service restaurant (QSR) space. Our culture is an empowering environment for designers who want to dig into large product design challenges. UX Designers work with feedback from our 100+ million customers to deliver on guest needs and land our mission of transforming the online and offline restaurant experience. Designers don’t just create interfaces, they help build and ship sophisticated products that empower millions of our guests.
Our design team structure is a blended model. All UX at Inspire belongs to a centralized UX team that delivers a consistent digital strategy to all of our brands. Designers belong to functional pod teams of product management, development, and research, working as one to ship entire lines of business.
