Hi, and welcome to the post about our Product Designer role (fully remote) at [Squadformers] https://squadformers.com
### About us
Squadformers was created because we believe that great work can be done better together. Our team is composed of a bunch of creators, designers, and builders by heart and our mission is to make things on Earth better than they were before. We’re a bunch of freelancers & software makers, designers and engineers, who come together to work as a Squad. Why? Because working by yourself from home is lonely and doesn’t let us grow as quickly as if we do it together. But also because of the missions, the friends we make along the way, and the flexibility of working how and when we want to. To truly have this lifestyle, you need a Squad.
At the core of Squadformers is the team, or as we like to call it, the Squad. We are friends and colleagues that lift you up when things get tough, challenge you to be a better version of yourself, and respect one another, all while working together on an important mission for the world. Yes. We like to be decent Humans…
We have two types of missions: client missions, and greater good missions. We use the money from the client missions to fund the greater good missions, because those we do for free. Important missions that urgently need our help, like climate change and inequality. And the client missions? Those are important, too. We help Silicon Valley startups like [Gabb](https://gabbwireless.com) create safer and less distracting technology for kids. We help [Bevy](https://bevy.com) create community with their online platform. And we help [Compose](https://compose.im) build a less distracting online world, with more focus and flow. And many more.
Our squad members come from diverse backgrounds, many previously at companies like Spotify, Google, Amazon, Netflix, and more. We work together as a Squad of 5-6 people, in North American time zones only.
As a Product Designer, you will collaborate closely with cross functional teams - product managers, developers, QA Engineers and the like - to tackle complex workflows, involving a wide array of users and various touchpoints. You will tap into your design acumen to find innovative ways to help our clients streamline their work, unlock their creative capabilities and meet/exceed user expectations. Squadformers are seeking a thoughtful, data-savvy, and product-focused designer to join our growing team.

· Continuously advocate for a simple, intuitive, and delightful user experience.
What you Bring:
