Middle UX Designer

We're looking for an experienced Product/UX Designer to shape how viewers experience Haystack across all device surfaces. You'll help deepen engagement, strengthen retention, and make the product easier and more enjoyable for millions of users.

This is a hands-on IC role within a small, nimble team. You'll collaborate closely with the founders, engineering and QA to make thoughtful design decisions, advocate for user-centered improvements, and take work from concept through polished implementation. We work in short, experimental cycles, shipping quickly, learning and refining.

Cross-platform product design. Own end-to-end design for a variety of new features across product surfaces (onboarding, personalization, discovery, playback, subscription flows) across iOS, Android, web, connected TV and automotive systems. Ensure cohesion and accessibility across touchpoints, and work closely with engineering during implementation to maintain fidelity and polish.

User-centered problem solving. Translate product goals into clear flows, wireframes and high-quality UI. Use research insights, user feedback and data to refine and iterate on your work.

Engagement & retention design. Create experiences that help viewers get more value from Haystack by improving discovery, enjoyment and long-term retention.

Collaboration & communication. Work with founders, engineering and QA to scope projects, validate assumptions, support implementation and ensure designs are built as intended. Communicate design decisions clearly and collaboratively.
