Canvas is at the forefront of revolutionizing the remodeling, architecture and interior design industry through cutting-edge AI and computer vision technology. With our LiDAR-enabled iPhone or iPad scans, we capture precise 3D representations of homes in minutes, providing interactive models with accurate-to-the-inch measurements. Our proprietary process then turns these scans into highly detailed, editable, as-built files in industry-standard formats. Our technology was featured in Apple's keynote when the iPhone's LiDAR sensor was introduced and now we model millions of square feet each month.
We’re an early-stage startup that is growing and ready to accelerate even further. As a global virtual-first company, our team members are distributed worldwide, with a concentration in the US and Europe.
We are looking for a Design Lead, reporting to our Chief Product Offer, to join Canvas to increase our design team capacity and level up our design processes. It’s a “player-coach” role, which starts with an IC hands-on role and will evolve into a team leader of a small design team.
What you'll do:
- Leading the design efforts as an equal partner to product and engineering.
- Hands-on product UX/UI design for mobile and web app(s).
- Building a comprehensive design system for all our customer-facing and internal products.
- Engaging with customers and internal users to deeply understand their needs and market opportunities.
- Driving UX research and user testing.
- Building and managing the design team.
- Coordinating and overviewing the work of other designers.
- Improving design-related processes.
You should have:
- 5+ years of experience in a design role, 2+ years of experience in a leadership role.
- Amazing portfolio and craft demonstrating top-level aesthetics and attention to detail.
- Vast experience in UX/UI product design for compelling mobile apps and web experiences that delight and engage the customer.
- Hands-on research skills or experience in organizing research processes with the help of others.
- Excellent communication skills with different sets of audiences: customers and users, PMs and engineers, go-to-market and operations teams.
- Great graphic design and illustration skills or experience in efficiently outsourcing such tasks.
Nice to have:
- Experience and desire to lead and participate hands-on in marketing design, while product design would still remain the primary focus.
- Having experience related to 3D scanning, CAD/BIM, home improvement, construction, or interior design.
