We’re looking for a senior/staff level designer to lead all things design at Anara.
This is an opportunity to reinvent how scientists discover information and work together. You’ll build the foundation of a design culture that will impact scientific research for decades to come.
What you’ll be doing:
- Talk to users, translate these conversations into product features, improvements and fixes, work with engineering to get them shipped, repeat.
- Build the design team as we scale, including hiring, establishing design processes, and fostering a culture of rapid iteration and excellence.
- Own all aspects of our visual identity across product, marketing, socials and brand.
- Define and implement design systems, documentation practices and workflows that help the team build visually consistent, high-quality features quickly.
You’re likely a good fit if:
- You are quick, scrappy and first and foremost a hacker/builder. Design at Anara is lightning fast - we typically take features from idea to high-fidelity design in days, not weeks or months.
- You’ve spent at least a few years shipping complex but beautiful features to real users.
- You live and breathe pixels with excellent taste for well-crafted interaction design and UI details.
- You have worked in a high-growth, fast-paced environment (ideally another startup) and can drive things forward with relatively little oversight.
We’re based in San Francisco with members of the team distributed across the US and Europe.
If you're interested in moving to SF, we're more than happy to sponsor your visa. We'll work with an immigration attorney to make sure everything goes smoothly.
We offer premium healthcare (medical, dental, etc.), flexible working hours and office space with a beautiful view of the SF marina and Golden Gate bridge.
To apply, reach out with a couple of sentences about you, links to your previous work and what you want to do for us starting next week. Applications without this information are automatically archived.
