Product Designer

The Role

At OAK'S LAB, design is just as crucial as engineering and product management in bringing our next big product to life.

We’re looking for a highly skilled designer who focuses on digital product design. You should be a dreamer and driven innovator who can empathize with both users and team members with experience in designing complex software applications.

In addition to working with a cross-functional team, you will also have the possibility to mentor other designers and help to improve our product development processes across the company. In the department we run different rituals and initiatives that will allow you to perform at your best with the support of the team around you like product syncs with our digital management team or 1&1s with other designers.
