You will solve user problems, collaborate on design processes, sketch and prototype ideas, validate work through research and testing, partner with product managers, and work closely with engineers.

• Someone who has a design process that puts the human first. You use data and research where necessary, and validate design through testing

• Fluent in designing for mobile devices and with a strong portfolio of projects showing your interaction and visual design skills
