Principal Product Designer

Summary

Join EquipmentShare as a Principal Product Designer and help build the future of construction! This fully remote position involves designing and building UX/UI for rental mobile and web applications. You will collaborate with engineering teams, directly work with clients and product owners, and ensure a seamless user experience. The role requires leading a design team, building design systems, and championing design projects. You will also need to quality check design implementations and ensure visual consistency across the app. EquipmentShare offers competitive compensation, full benefits, generous PTO, and professional development opportunities.

Requirements

• Several years of experience in successfully leading a design team, building out design systems and standardizing the look and feel of a product
• Both mobile and web app design experience is necessary
• Experience in user testing and accessibility testing, especially keyboard accessibility and visual contrast

• Solid experience laying out forms with lots of inputs and information-dense tables
• A history of shipping people-first products that had tangible, real-life effects on the consumer. We’re looking for a designer with experience in creating actual products — not just conceptualizing them
• Naturally great communication skills. We’re a remote team, so communication is key, and we trust you to clearly communicate your strategic goals and ideas to the rest of us

• Quality check design implementations before they ship
• Discuss new features with teams and actively participate in discussions to find solutions to user problems
• Champion design projects through various product launches, and be able to take a simple sketch to a full fledged, pixel-perfect mockup
• Embed yourself in product teams and gather feedback to improve product design and function
• Make sure all new features in subsystems are visually consistent with the rest of the app, and eventually contribute to the design system for Track and Link and Admin apps
• Advocate for consistent brand design and an overall outstanding and pleasant user experience
