Now Brewing – senior designer, Digital Products #ToBeAPartner

From the beginning, Starbucks set out to be a different kind of company. One that not only celebrated coffee and the rich tradition, but that also brought a feeling of connection. We are known for developing extraordinary leaders who share this passion and are guided by their service to others.

At Starbucks, we believe that great design fuels meaningful connections—between customers, partners, and our brand. As part of the UX & Design team within our Digital organization, you will design and deliver world-class experiences across mobile, web, and in-store platforms.

Your work will directly influence how millions of customers engage with Starbucks every day— from ordering their daily iced latte with cold foam, to earning and redeeming Stars, Starbucks Rewards and other long-term engagement. You’ll be a hands-on designer who thrives in collaboration, balances form and function, and pushes for accessible, beautiful, and impactful digital experiences. You’ll actively contribute to design projects, work closely with cross-functional teams, and help create digital experiences that are both visually appealing and user-friendly.
