Staff Product Designer

Otherkind started because we care deeply about the creative process. We want to be a sanctuary where flow state and creativity flourish. Vanessa and dpark started the studio because they wanted to build the design studio they wished existed when they were younger. A dream place to work: a fun and challenging environment where design is celebrated as a function of thinking and not a function of execution.

What we’re good at is generating inspiration and momentum. Companies hire us to help navigate ambiguity from a first principles perspective and launch 0-1 products with intention. We’ve worked with clients like Cloudflare, UDIO, Doji, [untitled], Cloudflare, Pika, Ditto, Lore, Variant, Yutori, and many more.

We believe interface can be art and that the craftsmanship of the product is equally important to the success metrics it yields. We’re here to do the best work of our lives because we care. We’re incentivized by design, not metrics.

About the role

We’re looking for a staff level product designer to join our studio full-time and help craft incredible digital products and lead projects end-to-end.

This is a role for someone who loves navigating ambiguity, is extremely autonomous, and cares deeply about the design process. As someone at staff level, you are responsible for client management, driving the vision of the project, and detailed communication. As such, we expect you to be highly self motivated and responsible.

Aside from client work, we’re also looking for someone to add their own taste, vision, and ideas in helping to build the studio of your dreams. You’ll be given the opportunity to shape the design studio how you think a studio should operate.

This is a fully remote position. We like to work EST and most of our clients are based in North America.

What you’ll do

• Create tasteful interfaces
• Innovate on interaction patterns the industry recognizes
• Design high-quality artifacts for clients
• Manage client timelines and relationships
• Deliver visions with a sense of storytelling
• Lead client calls, presentations, and design reviews
• Prototype all your designs with the tool of your choice

You’re a great fit if:

• You’re someone whose portfolio looks like it has 5+ years of experience. We don’t actually care if you have that experience.
• You have a strong track record of working independently to deliver end-to-end work at a company as a freelancer or founding designer
• Your portfolio includes high quality prototype videos of interactions and unique interaction patterns.

• You have a mood board of sharp visual taste
• You’re a true team player who values collaboration, feedback, and shared growth\
• You’re optimizing for creativity and challenge at this stage of your career instead of compensation.

Why join Otherkind

• We operate with trust. We don’t care how you use your week. All we want to see is momentum and you communicating that to both the studio and the clients.
• Yearly design offsite's globally and conference trips around the world. This year we want to do an offsite in Asia and send our team to Us By Night in September.
• Paid vacations + US holidays
• Work anywhere
• 2 weeks off between Christmas & New Year
