Stack Overflow exists to serve developers. Whether we’re helping them get answers to their questions or find a new job, we build products that millions of developers use. As a designer at Stack Overflow, you’ll create and build products that directly impact the work and the lives of those developers.

In this particular role, you’ll be working alongside a small team dedicated to the Talent and Jobs product. We’re constantly exploring new directions for our products and working towards creating a more enjoyable experience for recruiters and developers alike. This is a great opportunity to work on a product with a wide variety of features and complex problems with a team that’s excited to solve them. And as a member of the product design team, you’ll also spend lots of time working with us, whether that’s contributing to our design system, participating in critique, or just hanging out with us in Slack. We’re a team that rejects competition between designers and instead embraces collaboration and is always looking for ways to teach and help each other. 

We’re looking for a generalist - someone who has or wants the skills to do everything from research to early-stage design explorations to high-fidelity prototypes and mockups and front-end development. But most importantly, we’re looking for someone who’s excited to join our small team, to dig into big projects, and to learn and grow with us.

While we’re very open to hiring remote (almost everyone on the design team is remote!), we need your working hours to overlap with (at least) the hours of 10AM - 1PM US Eastern time.

Skills & Requirements

What you’ll do:

  • Follow our fast-moving product development process in close collaboration with your product team
  • Identify when user research and experience design methods are necessary, and conduct or help conduct that discovery work
  • Design high-quality visuals, interactions, workflows, and copy that are user-centered and consistent with our design language
  • Use your design work appropriately in context with the overall product and business goals to impact and drive product strategy
  • Write (or learn how to write) clean and maintainable front-end code
  • Contribute to a collaborative and inclusive team environment where design ideas and feedback are shared openly and with the best intentions

What we want to see:

  • Between 2-5 years of product design experience
  • Evidence of thoughtful, thorough experience design work
  • Evidence of internally consistent and high-quality visual designs
  • Experience with or interest in user research methods
  • Experience with or interest in learning basic front-end development (HTML, CSS, some JavaScript)
  • Excellent written and oral communication skills
  • Experience with (or the desire for) working in a distributed environment (where most team members are remote)
  • High levels of organization and ability to work independently
  • Bonus: experience with designing for developers or other technical audiences
  • Bonus: experience working on B2B products
  • Bonus: experience using (and/or contributing to) design systems

Also note:

  • If this job interests you but you aren’t certain if you meet all of the requirements, apply anyway! 
  • We don’t consider applications without cover letters - please make sure to include yours and talk about why you want to work here!

What you’ll get in return:

  • Flexible hours
  • 20 days paid vacation + holidays
  • Completely free health insurance - no copay, no premiums (US residents)
  • Generous parental leave (10-16 weeks at 100% pay), family care leave, and unlimited sick days
  • Employees will never be poked with a sharp stick

If you want to work remotely…. We’ll help you set up a great home office, with an ergonomic chair, standing desk, and any other equipment you need to do your job.

If you want to work in our office… You’ll get your own private office in our headquarters in New York City, and enjoy additional benefits like free lunch every day prepared by our own in-house chefs, transportation reimbursement, and all the espresso you can drink.

Employment is conditioned upon successful completion of a background check and upon having the appropriate legal right to work.

What we value:

  • Collaboration: The best products are created when people from different backgrounds and disciplines work closely together in an environment of respect and trust.
  • Transparency: Trust is built on openness and transparency. If there is not a good reason to keep it a secret, we share it. For example, we share our complete engineering salary formula.
  • Inclusion: We do our best work when we can be our whole selves at work. We’re committed to policies and benefits that support people, and leaders who foster an open and inclusive culture.

Diverse teams build better products.
