Who is Wyze?

Wyze is a rapidly growing tech startup based in Kirkland, Washington which is an outstanding city 6.4 miles East of downtown Seattle and nestled around beautiful Lake Washington! We also have offices in Beijing and Shenzhen, China!

We’re a team of innovators and tech enthusiasts obsessed with making smart home products accessible to everyone. Our products are intuitive and easy to use, and we partner with our customers to add new features and continuously improve our products over time. We believe customers shouldn’t have to compromise – beautifully crafted smart home devices should enrich people’s lives and be something everyone can afford.

A Look Inside the Role...

The Senior Designer role is a great opportunity for someone looking to design and lead a team to create solutions and experiences that will have high customer visibility. You will be expected to deliver visually appealing product pages, and design elements to improve the e-commerce workflow. We are the direct connection between Wyze and our users to bring as much value to them as possible. Our team works closely together across multiple subject areas (business, design, and development) but we do not believe in micromanagement so being autonomous is key. You will work on many projects involving the web, mobile, and potentially other screens involving different e-commerce projects and customer experiences. We are a small, yet very efficient, driven, and collaborative team, so we are looking for someone who shares our values and company culture to make smart technology accessible for all. If you are looking to create push boundaries of e-commerce, work at a great company where every day presents new captivating challenges, then this is the position for you.

• Experience in designing large scale customer-facing UX products and interfaces
• Experience working with engineers to construct dynamic, interactive designs that are technically feasible
• Experience designing for multiple devices, such as mobile, web, and screens
• Experience conducting research or working with our partners in UX Research to transform customer insights into new features and experiences for our customers.
• Mentor, lead, and develop designers within our organizations and help build a vibrant design culture.
