About the Job

What You’ll Do
Product Design plays a role in each phase of the product development process, from user research exploration and early concepting with PMs through prototyping, design system contributions and post-handoff engineering support. You’ll join a highly collaborative team based in the US and partner with colleagues from UX Research, Product, Data, and Engineering. Expect a high level of ownership and autonomy on assigned projects.
Responsibilities
With support from the Product Design Manager and senior designer peers:
- Wireframe and validate design directions through sketches, Figma, and usability testing

- Build prototypes to validate assumptions and communicate interactions to stakeholders
- Leverage AI tools to accelerate design exploration, prototyping, and iteration cycles
- Navigate stakeholder concerns and advocate for design decisions backed by evidence, user research, and inclusive design principles
- QA staging builds to ensure proper implementation of your designs
- Iterate on and expand Taskrabbit design system components and patterns
- Contribute to critiques and team feedback loops

You have a few years of product design experience and want to deepen your skills in scoping, systems thinking, and cross-functional collaboration. You’re ready to grow alongside senior designers and your manager in a role with real ownership and impact.
Requirements
- 1–3 years of experience in a product design role

- Ability to express early ideas via sketches, wireframes, or AI prototypes, and provide a narrative around why the solution satisfies business and user needs
- Ability to produce polished design specs in Figma with appropriate annotations for engineering to build
- Ability to contribute work that adheres to an established design system
