About the Role
Hey there! James here , co-founder and CTO at Conversion. Just wanted to share my thoughts on the perfect candidate we're looking to join our product team:
Product focused: There are a lot of features that go into a marketing automation platform, and we're looking for engineers who can own entire products and scope out, design, and build them end to end. We believe the best PMs are engineers who understand the pain point, since they can best evaluate both the benefit and the cost of building a feature.
Exceptional design taste: We believe great software should be as beautiful and intuitive as it is powerful. We're looking for engineers with an exceptional eye for design who care deeply about how a product looks, feels, and behaves. You'll have the freedom to shape the experience, not just implement someone else's designs.
Love building for / with customers: We're extremely close with our customers. Every customer gets their own Slack channel in our org, and we add every engineer to the channel to directly answer questions, fix bugs, and ship features. A key component of this role will be working with customers to understand pain points and then researching / designing the product features to solve them!
Detail oriented: Conversion's product is a deeply integrated platform where each feature must mesh seamlessly with many existing features and support an ambitious vision. A detail oriented approach is required to keep our high bar for craft while delivering complex features in a scalable way.
Concrete Responsibilities:
Design craft: Own the visual quality of Conversion's product, from typography and spacing to interactions, animations, and the small details that make an interface feel exceptional
Experience ownership:Translate the complexity of a marketing platform into intuitive, elegant experiences which make powerful features feel simple
Design to code: Own the entire process from exploring design concepts and prototyping interactions to shipping polished, production-ready React interfaces
This role is in-person 5 days/week in San Francisco.
You Might Be a Good Fit If You
Have 3+ years of industry experience shipping high quality product experiences
Have a startup mindset and want early ownership in a fast-paced environment
Are proficient in React, TypeScript, and CSS, and can turn a design idea into a polished, responsive, production-ready experience
Can take ambiguous product requirements and independently explore and prototype thoughtful UX solutions
You Might Be a Great Fit If You
Have worked at a Series A to C startup that scaled quickly
Enjoy experimenting with new interaction patterns, prototyping ambitious ideas, and novel UI paradigms
Are the kind of person who notices a slightly misaligned button or an awkward hover state and can't resist making it better
Have a strong track record of side projects, apps, or hackathons. Our engineers have built a live-streaming security system for their parents' new house, a database from scratch, a better Splitwise app, and hosted our Minecraft server, all while at Conversion
