Product Designer

We’re on a mission to create a food system that’s better for everyone, from farmers to eaters.

We believe that many of us are ready for an alternative way to shop, cook, and break bread with our families and friends. For us, it’s about bringing joy to those who savor their food and care where it comes from, who want it fresh from the harvest and still smelling of the earth.

We’re looking for a product designer to help us reform the food system. You’ll become a founding member of our design team in New York City, working directly with our Director of Design to establish our practices and shape the design of our product. As a product designer, you’ll be focused on crafting the most beautiful and usable experience for our users, principally online but also offline. You are rigorous about talking to customers and analyzing data to inform your designs, but you also know when to follow your gut. Most importantly, you’re excited to wake up every morning ready to directly shape a meaningful product that has the potential to make a massive dent in the food system.

• Wireframing a breadth of approaches quickly (pen, napkin, whiteboard, Balsamiq...your choice)
• Building interactive prototypes of your designs, with any tool
• Performing usability tests
• Going beyond the web: You aren’t afraid to also make our users offline experience as beautiful and delightful as possible

• Passion for the local food movement
• 1-2+ years of experience in designing consumer internet applications that have shipped
• Ability to take ownership of projects and see them to completion, collaborating with different teams within Farmigo (Community, Field Organizing, Marketing, Development)
• Ability to communicate and rationally defend designs to the rest of the team
• Ability to write clean HTML, CSS and ideally some Javascript
• Humility and a lack of ego. You want to help sustain a collaborative, optimistic, and supportive culture
