The Opportunity: Why Design Matters at Spur
Design is not a layer at Spur—it’s foundational.
As we scale quickly with customers like Wander.com, Living Spaces and Nextdoor, we're looking for a designer who can define how testing _feels_—not just how it functions. This is your chance to reimagine one of the most under-designed spaces in software.
Testing tools & Testing Systems Traditionally look like this …..
With Spur, testing isn’t siloed in engineering or QA. Now, anyone on the team—from PMs to support and sales—can create and run tests using natural language.
That shift changes everything.
We’re eliminating the need for heavy testing teams and infrastructure—while raising the quality bar. The UX is central to making this possible. It has to feel trustworthy , intuitive , and powerful , all at once.
AI is integrated at every stage of the journey—test creation, editing, execution, and reporting. Designing seamless, AI-driven workflows that build user confidence will be one of your most exciting and impactful challenges.
We see this as a once-in-a-generation opportunity to redefine what UI/UX for software testing looks like —and we’re looking for someone who’s excited to take that on.
