We’re looking for someone with a passion for positively delightful interactions with software and all-round great skills around execution with code.
Responsibilities

Shape the products and experiences that elegantly address these pain points in close partnership with product engineers.
Bring to life what Dust’s products look and feel like when users first discover them and then use them day after day.
Prioritise frontend efforts to continuously improve users’ experience, maxime the value they get from using Dust, and increase Dust’s impact as a result
Keep a keen eye and an open mind for opportunities in the exciting and ever-changing field of generative artificial intelligence where many UX paradigms are still to be defined.
Requirements

A tireless curiosity for users and how they think about and interact with software products
Conviction on what makes an experience with software memorable

The ability to bring amazing design to life in software products, caring about the small details that matter.
A willingness to defend views with conviction and arguments but also gracefully change them when new information requires it
A data-driven mindset that can reason insightfully about complex or even incomplete analyses
A do-what-it-takes, results-oriented attitude that can effectively prioritise tasks without lingering on the parts that won’t make a difference.
You should still consider applying, even if you don’t strictly meet all the requirements above. We’re hiring humans and each experience is unique. It’s alright to have a less common profile or background, as long as you feel determined to put it to work in your own way in the service of our users.

If you decide to join us, your total compensation package will be refined during the course of your interview process, in line with the level of craft and impact we expect you to bring to Dust.
