We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer with strong mobile app experience to shape the future of our iOS and Android experiences. This role is ideal for a designer who understands mobile behaviors deeply, thinks in systems, and can craft intuitive, high‑performance app experiences that balance usability, speed, and business impact. You’ll partner closely with Product, Engineering, Data, and Design leadership to create engaging mobile‑first journeys — from search and discovery to lead generation, saved experiences, notifications, and account management.

Design intuitive, high-quality native app experiences across iOS and Android. Lead mobile‑first thinking while ensuring cohesion across web and app ecosystems. Craft seamless user journeys across search, listing detail pages, saved boats, alerts, messaging, and account systems. Design for real‑world mobile constraints: variable connectivity, performance optimization, gesture‑based interactions, and responsive layouts. Translate product strategy and customer insights into elegant, scalable mobile solutions. Drive clarity in ambiguous problem spaces and partner with Product to define scope and MVPs. Create high‑fidelity prototypes that accurately reflect motion, transitions, and micro‑interactions. Partner closely with Engineering to ensure pixel‑perfect implementation and thoughtful technical trade‑offs. Contribute to and evolve our design system to support scalable mobile components and patterns. Use research, analytics, and usability testing to inform and validate design decisions.

Strong visual design skills including hierarchy, typography, layout, spacing, and state management. Proficiency in Figma, including shared libraries, components, and scalable systems. Experience collaborating closely with mobile engineers and understanding platform constraints. Comfort working in evolving environments where you help shape direction, not just execute against it. Strong communication skills: able to clearly articulate design rationale to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders. A collaborative, proactive mindset with a strong sense of ownership. Proficiency using AI tools to augment design workflows for rapid prototyping, research synthesis, content generation, or improving speed and iteration quality.
