Staff Product Designer - Interaction & Systems

About the Position

Staff Product Designer - Interaction & Systems

Join us as one of the early members of our Product Design team and help lay the foundational building blocks of the next generation of social apps.

We’re looking for a Staff Product Designer whose superpowers lie in interaction design, motion, and systems-level thinking.

You'll be a part of a small and versatile team, so be prepared for virtually no routine. This also means you’ll have the freedom, resources, and agility to create top-notch products.

Your focus will be to architect core UX flows in our products: developing signature interactions that crack user behavior and clarify our complex spatial models and features.

You have a meticulous eye and strong design fundamentals; you’ll regularly zoom out to a bird’s eye view, ensuring that the pieces click together.

With your high-level vantage point, you’ll drive and maintain a flexible design system to support rapid iteration and prototyping.

At amo, we thrive in creative chaos but our UX needs to feel simple, intuitive, and emotionally resonant to the users around the world who love our products… especially because our ambition is to reach billions of them!

Responsibilities

• Craft & Ownership

  • Craft signature interaction patterns, infusing motion in places to disentangle sticky flows and breathe life into our products.
  • Embed yourself in our design team and continually evolve our best practices for translating feature concepts into scalable UX and beautiful interfaces.

• Iteration & Deep Collaboration

  • Your natural instinct is to make ideas tangible early in the process, using prototypes to quickly test big, ambitious product ideas.
  • Act as a bridge between design and engineering and work across multiple platforms and surfaces (iOS, Android, web).

• Artistic Boldness

  • Our code and our craft are inspired by art, fashion, and emerging technologies.
  • Break standards and be bold, always pushing each other to find fresh takes on what we build.
  • Fire up your creative instincts and contribute to our collective imagination.

Requirements

• Hands-on, and care deeply about your craft.
• 8+ years of experience designing consumer application, product, or software, even better if you’ve worked on consumer social products.
• Obsessive about small details and visual finesse; you sweat the 1px difference and care about every transition and haptic.
• Mastery of cutting edge design and prototyping tools and an appetite to acquire new skills.
• Curious, self-directed, and excited by the ambiguity of early product work.
• Comfortable communicating and collaborating in English (our working language).

Nice to Have

• Passionate about social apps and believe the consumer space is broken and ripe for reinvention.
• Complementary skills like 3D and eager to experiment with generative AI tools.
• Strong opinions on art, culture, and fashion trends.

We Offer

• On-site work in a beautiful Parisian-style office with high ceilings, balconies, and huge windows.
• Health care (100% coverage).
• Maternity Leave, Paternity Leave, Second Parent Leave (salary maintained at 100%).
• Vacation days: 8-9 weeks (total) per year.
  • 5 weeks of paid time off (by the state);
  • 1-2 additional weeks (RTT, based on our company contract);
  • ~11 bank holidays.
• Two weeks in summer and one week in winter to allow everyone to truly recharge and to avoid prolonged slowdowns.
• Relocation support including help and sponsored visa process, 1 month of Airbnb 100% covered by amo upon arrival, assistance from a trusted relocation agency, help with french paperwork, and French lessons.
