Canvas is at the forefront of revolutionizing the remodeling, architecture and interior design industry through cutting-edge AI and computer vision technology. With our LiDAR-enabled iPhone or iPad scans, we capture precise 3D representations of homes in minutes, providing interactive models with accurate-to-the-inch measurements. Our proprietary process then turns these scans into highly detailed, editable, as-built files in industry-standard formats. Our technology was featured in Apple's keynote when the iPhone's LiDAR sensor was introduced and now we model millions of square feet each month.
We’re an early-stage startup that is growing and ready to accelerate even further. As a global virtual-first company, our team members are distributed worldwide, with a concentration in the US and Europe.
This is a fully remote position, but we are most interested in hiring someone in the Eastern or Central US timezones to ease collaboration with our engineering team(s) in Europe.
We are looking for a Product Design Lead, reporting to our Chief Product Offer, to join Canvas to increase our design team capacity and level up our design processes. It’s a “player-coach” role, which starts with an IC hands-on role and will evolve into a team leader of a small design team.
What you'll do:
- Leading the design efforts as an equal partner to product and engineering.
- Hands-on product UX/UI design for mobile and web app(s).
- Building a comprehensive design system for all our customer-facing and internal products.
- Engaging with customers and internal users to deeply understand their needs and market opportunities.
- Driving UX research and user testing.
- Building and managing the design team.
- Coordinating and overviewing the work of other designers.
- Improving design-related processes.
You should have:
- 5+ years of experience in a design role, 2+ years of experience in a leadership role.
- Amazing portfolio and craft demonstrating top-level aesthetics and attention to detail.
- Vast experience in UX/UI product design for compelling mobile apps and web experiences that delight and engage the customer.
- Hands-on research skills or experience in organizing research processes with the help of others.
- Excellent communication skills with different sets of audiences: customers and users, PMs and engineers, go-to-market and operations teams.
- Great graphic design and illustration skills or experience in efficiently outsourcing such tasks.
Nice to have:
- Experience and desire to lead and participate hands-on in marketing design, while product design would still remain the primary focus.
- Having experience related to 3D scanning, CAD/BIM, home improvement, construction, or interior design.
