Product Designer
Bluesky Social
Product, Design
Remote
Posted on Feb 13, 2025
Bluesky's vision is to make social more like the web itself. We're building a social media app, but beyond that, we've created a protocol that supports a broad ecosystem of diverse applications and clients. Imagine a network of applications — from microblogging to photos to video to long-form journalism — all interconnected and accessible with a shared identity.
About the Role:
This position is for our first full-time product designer, in a role that will let you create and oversee the UX and visual aesthetic of the next great social app, already in use daily by millions. You will help shape the future of social networking on a global scale.
We're a small team that rapidly juggles many priorities to make an outsized impact. We're constantly adding features and refining flows, so we need an experienced designer who can establish systems that will enable us to move fast while maintaining the high level of quality our users deserve.
Key Responsibilities:
- Work closely with engineers to prototype and design new and existing features
- Refine and expand on Bluesky's UI design system
- Own Bluesky's brand, from app UI to marketing assets
You might be a good fit if you:
- Have a proven track record of leading the design of products or services
- Excel in creating design systems from the ground up and iteratively refining them
- Are comfortable extending and evolving existing legacy systems and patterns over time
- Are able and interested in working closely with engineers
- Are highly organized in regards to Figma files, design system specs, and proposals
- Are willing to bust out ad-hoc requests in addition to maintaining a longer-term vision
- Like working on small, fast-moving teams
- Are interested in helping shape the future of social networking
We’re especially excited if you have the following:
- Previous experience working at startups or on social media products
- Experience managing or collaborating with internal and external parties
- Experience with branding and creating brand guidelines
- A high-level understanding of coding and how it relates to design
- Experience prototyping with TypeScript and React
We're a fully remote team, though working hours overlap with PST (Pacific Standard Time).
