Lead Product Designer


Reaktor is a team of technology professionals that craft custom
digital products and services for diverse industries and clients
worldwide. We're looking for a full-stack product designer to join
our crew in delivering world-class digital products for companies
such as adidas, ViacomCBS, HBO, Bravo Sierra, Arfa, Rovio, and
Finnair.


You will be side-by-side with some of the most talented
full-stack engineers in the world in a small autonomous team,
working together with our clients to define, design, and build
their core digital products. In addition to executing thoughtful
features and great interfaces, you will co-create the vision,
strategy, and priorities for a product together with the client and
your team. We hope you care deeply about creating high impact,
high-value concepts and features, and are passionate about building
the best product for the problem at hand.


Due to COVID-19, we are working remotely until January 2021. Our
office in Flatiron district is available if you'd like to get out
of the house. Your role at Reaktor will be based in NYC when it's
safe and suitable to work in person. We're revisiting the timeline
for this in early 2021.


You might spend your days:



  • Making sense of our clients' business challenges and their
    users' behavior, and turning your understanding into great designs
    that benefit them both.

  • Acting as a central part in our small autonomous teams,
    facilitating ways of working within the team, and making sure the
    project is efficiently meeting our client's needs.

  • Building and nurturing relationships with our clients' teams,
    decision makers, and leadership - helping the client evolve their
    ways of working along the way and deepening our collaboration.

  • Supporting Reaktor's growth by contributing to our recruitment
    and talent growth activities, business efforts, or marketing
    campaigns.

  • Working with our design community to continue building an
    ambitious, inclusive, and collaborative design culture.


Here's what we care about:



  • Whether your strengths are in unpacking problems, designing
    immaculate interfaces, talking with users, or anything in between,
    you have a broad understanding of the gamut of work it takes to
    build great digital products and fantastic customer
    experiences.

  • You've seen a range of projects as a designer, with experience
    from several products from different industries and scales. This
    may have taken you 6-8+ years of real-world work experience, or
    maybe you've gotten a lot done in a shorter period.

  • You think that collaborating closely with everyone involved in
    building the product makes great products, and you believe in good
    and open communication solving most challenges.

  • Working effectively with your team is something you enjoy
    putting thought into. You may have explored popular methodologies
    (keywords: Kanban, Agile, Lean, Scrum) in search of better ways of
    working.

  • Your natural curiosity about clients, their business
    challenges, and end-users, and ability to build good, long-lasting
    relationships with clients.

  • You're excited about responsibility and being able to shape
    your career development path, while hopefully teaching your peers a
    thing or two. We hope you have a vision of what you'd like to
    achieve, and you feel passionate about being an active participant
    in the wider Reaktor community.


If reading this gave you butterflies, we hope you apply, no
matter what your path here was. We hope you can join our community
and help us build a company where everyone can feel proud to
belong. Tell us about your past adventures in the world of design,
and let us know what you'd love to do in the future. Keep it
original rather than official.
