At Eight Sleep, we have Kobe Bryant’s mamba mentality—we always aim to be at the best 1% of what we do. This is not a typical 9‑5 role; some employees report working up to 60 hours per week. If you want to be challenged and pushed harder than ever before, you’re invited to apply. The role We’re looking for a product designer who thinks beyond aesthetics. Someone who is as passionate about crafting seamless user experiences as they are about beautiful interfaces. You care deeply about building, shipping, and iterating on real products, not just making polished mockups that never see the light of day. As a Product Designer on our mobile team, you’ll play a critical role in shaping the Eight Sleep app, driving the design of engaging, intuitive, and seamless experiences that help users optimize their sleep and health. You’ll collaborate closely with Product, Engineering, Brand, and Research & Development teams to craft high‑quality, data‑driven designs that balance aesthetics with usability. How You’ll Contribute At a high level, the role encompasses three areas: Design: You’ll sit at the intersection of Design and Product, playing a key role in the end‑to‑end design and evolution of the Eight Sleep app. Responsibilities include information architecture, low‑fidelity wireframes, high‑fidelity mockups, and everything in‑between. Validate: You’ll conduct usability studies and user interviews to inform design work, and work closely with our in‑house customer discovery squad. You’ll use data to inform the success or failure of the design. Iterate: You’ll combine qualitative and quantitative customer insights to make design decisions that improve our app experience, reduce churn, and increase engagement. Some Other Details About The Role You’ll work as part of an interdisciplinary team to deliver captivating user experiences that increase membership value and support hardware innovations. You’ll build, document, and organize the UI components of our design library and system to drive consistency across our app and the rest of the brand. You’ll align with Product and Brand stakeholders and clearly present design updates to C‑suite leadership for feedback and approval. You’ll serve as the subject‑matter expert responsible for app design patterns and interactions—including researching and staying up‑to‑date on emerging mobile design trends and best practices. You’ll collaborate closely with the Engineering, Product, and Marketing teams to ship world‑class products and features. What You Need To Succeed 4+ years experience in UX and UI, with a strong portfolio including live mobile examples. Ship designs to public users with data that proves either success or failure. Consider technical implications of design decisions and balance new user value with technical effort. Experience coaching junior designers and collaborating closely with Product Managers and Engineers. Obsessed with simplicity and hold a high‑quality bar for aesthetics. Independent thinker able to manage the design process from end to end even in open‑ended ambiguous environments. Ability to iterate fast and often. Confidence in writing clear agendas and decks, and presenting design evolutions to C‑suite leadership. Open to occasional travel to other office locations (San Francisco, Milan) to work with other teams in‑person. Excitement about building a fast‑growing brand into an iconic company. Bachelor’s degree in a related design field or equivalent experience. Bonus Points For Having built iconic, consumer‑facing mobile apps at small and mid‑size tech startups (with data & reviews to prove it). Experience designing mobile apps for Android.
