This isn't a traditional Product Design role. At arrivia, you'll work on a highly empowered team reimagining world-class design. We create impactful, first-class experiences as measured by our audiences and ourselves. We're also pragmatic and know there's a time to break the pattern and a time to be invisible. You embrace every aspect of design: from research and discovery, through building real experiences, to working closely with engineers. You live at the forefront of design, where pragmatism meets ambition, and where shipping thoughtfully beats perfection paralysis. This role is perfect if you design and build: maybe you've been called a product designer, front-end developer, or 'hybrid'—here you can shine. You don't need to be the world's best at every dimension, but you're genuinely curious across all of them, and you're always closing the gaps.
About This Role
- Craft the full-stack: Move fluently across user research, behavioral analytics, ideation, prototyping and validation in production.
- Pixel precision meets pragmatism: High design craft and attention to detail, but always in service of shipping fast—you know when to perfect and when to focus on what’s next.
- Data-informed judgment caller: Understand user behavior through analytics and research, make design decisions backed by evidence, and know when to trust both data and experience.
- Ship in tight loops: Design, prototype in code using AI tools, test with users, and iterate at velocity—not through gatekeeping processes.
- AI as creative force multiplier and core competency: Treat AI mastery as an essential, evolving part of your craft—not a side skill. Proficient in Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini; skilled with Figma's AI tools; familiar with Lovable, Bolt, Make, MagicPatterns and similar; working knowledge of Cursor or Claude Code. Experiment publicly with new tools, share what you learn, and continuously evolve how you design and build as AI capabilities advance.
- Design systems thinking: Leverage and evolve our existing design system; think in systems across white-labeled product variants so your work scales intelligently across multiple audiences.
- Own your pod, elevate the whole: Drive design decisions autonomously within your product pod alongside engineers and product partners, while staying tightly synced with the broader design team to align on vision, raise the collective bar, and keep the work coherent across the product.
- Close to the problem: Stay embedded in user problems, travel insights, and business outcomes—no handoffs to specialists; you connect research to shipped code.
- Builder's mindset: Comfortable with ambiguity, shipping rapidly, learning from real-world data, and evolving your approach based on what actually works—not what looked good in a deck.
Requirements
- Experience: 5–8 years of product design experience designing for Web and Native applications.
- Technical Breadth: Deep proficiency with Figma for interaction/visual design and systems thinking, combined with working fluency in front-end technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and prototyping in code.
- AI Tooling: 2+ years of hands-on experience with AI design and coding agents (e.g., Cursor, Figma's AI tools, Lovable, Bolt, MagicPatterns) in professional workflows.
- Analytical Skills: Strong understanding of user research methods and experience with behavioral analytics for data-informed decision-making.
- System Design: Proven ability to build, evolve, and maintain design systems and component libraries at scale.
- Education: Bachelor's degree in Design, Human-Computer Interaction, or equivalent professional experience.
Benefits & Perks
- Exclusive Travel Perks: Access to our private travel marketplace with deeply discounted rates on cruises, resorts, and hotels.
- Comprehensive Health: Robust Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance plans.
- Future Planning: 401(k) with company matching.
- Global Connectivity: A remote-friendly or hybrid culture that values "Winning Together" across US and international time zones.
- Innovation-Driven Culture: We are a team of curious, honest, and action-oriented builders who believe in bringing our whole selves to work every day.
