Product Designer, App Job at Eight Sleep (Milan)

Job Description

We’re looking for a product designer who thinks beyond aesthetics. Someone who is as passionate about crafting seamless user experiences as they are about beautiful interfaces. You care deeply about building, shipping, and iterating on real products, not just making polished mockups that never see the light of day. As a Product Designer on our mobile team, you’ll play a critical role in shaping the Eight Sleep app, driving the design of engaging, intuitive, and seamless experiences that help users optimize their sleep and health. You’ll collaborate closely with Product, Engineering, Brand, and Research & Development teams to craft high-quality, data-driven designs that balance aesthetics with usability.

Validate: You’ll conduct usability studies and user interviews to inform design work, and work closely with our in-house customer discovery squad. You’ll use data to inform the success or failure of the design
Iterate: You’ll combine qualitative and quantitative customer insights to make design decisions that improve our app experience, reduce churn, and increase engagement
You’ll work as part of an interdisciplinary team to deliver captivating user experiences that increase membership value and support hardware innovations
You’ll build, document, and organize the UI components of our design library and system to drive consistency across our app and the rest of the brand
You’ll align with Product and Brand stakeholders and clearly present design updates to C-suite leadership for feedback and approval

You’ll collaborate closely with the Engineering, Product, and Marketing teams to ship world class products and features

Requirements

4+ years experience in UX and UI, with a strong portfolio including live mobile examples
You’ve shipped your designs to public users and have data that proves either success or failure
You are able to consider the technical implications of design decisions and have the ability to find the right balance between new user value and technical effort
You have experience coaching junior designers and collaborating closely with Product Managers and Engineers
You are obsessed with simplicity, have a high-quality bar for the aesthetics in your design
