Summary
DistroKid is looking for an experienced Product Designer to join our team as a full-time employee, focusing on our music distribution platform.
Music distribution can be complex and multi-faceted, with a wide range of artist needs, and conflicting requirements from streaming services. We are looking for generalists who can cut through the complexity to lead a product all the way from concept to launch. This includes visual styling, front-end development, copywriting, customer research, and more.
You love to:
Lead artist research to distill product insights
Use rapid, lo-fi prototyping to collaborate with stakeholders
Get nerdy about design patterns
Collaborate on HTML and CSS refinement with our front-end developers
Write great copy because you understand that copywriting is design
Think strategically about what we build, and what we don’t, in order to deliver the desired outcomes with minimal complexity
You will work closely with a product manager, our scrum team, and the senior leadership of DistroKid.
The work you do will have an impact on over a million independent artists worldwide who use our platform.
Skills/Qualifications
5+ years of product design experience
Your portfolio rocks. It has:
Case studies of how you drive design through user empathy and insight
Examples of consumer-facing web or mobile applications that shows your great visual taste and sensibilities
Extra credit:
Passion for music and desire to support independent musicians
You’ve built, designed, or contributed to cool web/app projects in your free time.
Additional Requirements
Tell us about yourself and what you can bring to DistroKid. Tell us what you’ve done and what excites you.
You will be asked to submit an online portfolio along with your resume for further consideration. Your portfolio tells thoughtful and alluring stories about experiences you created for large-scale web, web app, and mobile apps for leading brands.
You should be prepared to present a case study of a project you are most proud of, to a cross-functional panel as part of the interview process.
