About the Role

What You’ll Do

• Help define and own the end-to-end user experience across all of Rootly’s products, ensuring that every interaction is frictionless, intuitive, and delightful.
• Set the gold standard for UX and UI design - leading the charge in making complex workflows feel effortless.
• Move fast and design with conviction - delivering high-quality work without getting stuck in endless iterations.
• Act as a force multiplier for the team, providing mentorship, raising the quality bar, and enforcing design standards across the entire company.
• Drive a culture of taste and craftsmanship, ensuring that everything we ship is polished, purposeful, and impactful.
• Partner closely with engineering, product, and leadership to influence the roadmap and advocate for user needs.
• Enforce consistency and cohesion in UI patterns, interaction models, and visual design across the entire product.
• Champion simplicity - distilling complex problems into beautiful, intuitive solutions.
• Think holistically about design systems - leading the creation and governance of our design language and component libraries.
• Leverage data, customer insights, and product intuition to make informed design decisions.
• Bring a bias toward action - proactively identify and solve UX challenges before they become bottlenecks.

What We’re Looking For

• 8+ years of experience in UX/UI design, with a strong track record at companies known for exceptional product design and usability.
• A deep understanding of product design - not just UI, but how users think, behave, and interact.
• Exceptional visual and interaction design skills - you can design interfaces that are not only beautiful but also highly functional and effortless to use.
• A relentless focus on intuitive design. You sweat the details and remove friction wherever you find it.
• Experience designing and enforcing a design system, ensuring consistency at scale while enabling speed and flexibility.
• A natural leader who uplifts those around them - mentoring, guiding, and instilling a culture of design excellence.
• Product instincts that rival a PM’s. You think beyond pixels and deeply understand user problems, business impact, and engineering trade-offs.
• The ability to move fast without compromising quality. You know when to polish and when to ship.
• A passion for system thinking. You see how everything connects and design scalable patterns that simplify the experience.
• Strong communication skills. You can articulate design decisions clearly, advocate for users, and collaborate effectively across teams.
• A high sense of ownership and accountability. You don’t wait for direction - you identify what needs to be done and make it happen.
• Experience working closely with engineers and understanding the trade-offs between design vision and technical constraints.
