Product Designer

The Impact You’ll Make

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.

Your Impact:

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

What You’ll Bring To The Team

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
