Are you designer who enjoys building products and wants to work on a highly visible one? I’m looking to a hire code-conscious product designer to join my team at GitHub.
This is a product design position. You’ll be working with product managers, engineers, design managers, and other product designers to define, design, and build features on GitHub dot com. You’ll research, sketch, create mockups, write code, and deploy to production. You’ll probably introduce a few bugs — its cool, we all do. Your work will be reviewed and you will review others’ work. You will use GitHub to build GitHub.
Is this position remote?
We value a remote work. So much so that most of our product design team is remote. In an effort to create more of a geographically balanced team, we’re currently only considering candidates that live in the San Francisco area (or are willing to relocate) and can work out of our office in SOMA.
What type of projects will I get to work on?
GitHub builds products for developers, businesses, open source organizations, educational institutions, government agencies and just about anyone who is involved in building and shipping software. About 20 million people currently use GitHub.com around the world.
My group within the product design team primarily focuses on the businesses that use GitHub, as well as the integrators that build products to extend our platform in various ways. This means you’ll get to work on stuff like:
Additionally, you’ll provide input and feedback that helps influence the direction of product designers working on other areas of GitHub.
If the above interests you, but you aren’t sure if you would be a good fit, feel free ask me any questions via Twitter (my DMs are open). Otherwise, head over to the job application, we’re excited to meet you.
Thanks to Sophie Shepherd for inspiring me with her post and for her help editing this one.
