We care deeply about inclusive working practices and diverse teams. We’re keen to ensure we’re designing a product that works for everyone, so we particularly encourage applications from different underrepresented groups.

  • You’ll collaborate regularly using strong communication, documentation and facilitation skills. You’ll work closely with Product Managers, Engineers, Marketing and Technical Writers to make sure that you aren't just shipping great designs, but that everyone is deeply involved throughout the design process.
  • You’ll execute (and advocate for) polished, intuitive and accessible user experiences. You’re pragmatic and able to balance the ideal experience with knowing where and when to make scoping trade-offs based on technical constraints, experimentation strategy or business risk.
  • You’ll help raise the bar for design at Ahana. We’re a small but mighty team where everyone plays a critical role in improving our community of practice.
  • You’ll regularly work with Product managers. This is to help make sure long-term strategy, business goals and experience quality are all in alignment and that there are healthy opportunities for visibility and feedback.

A Product manager will watch this before joining you for a 30-minute 1:1 call to ask follow up questions, digging deeper into your process and work.
  • Final round (2 hours). This involves three interviews covering craft, impact and teamwork. These typically happen on the same day via separate video calls. The case study video is used as a reference for these interviews to help set context for us, and save you time repeating yourself.
