Product Designer

As a Ridgeline Product Designer, you’ll help breathe new life into an industry marked by complex and aging software. We’re looking for passion and a broad skill set: our ideal candidate will feel comfortable working on interaction design, visual design, prototyping and user research. This is an opportunity to help shape our company’s vision, the way we approach problem solving, and to ensure our product fulfills the ambitious promises we make to our customers. Our designers are not pixel pushers; they are business savvy creatives, the heartbeat of our product development process.

As one of Ridgeline's first 50 employees, you will help shape our culture, make a big impact on a small team, and learn what it takes to build a successful company. Our team aims to leave a legacy in an industry primed for change.

Key Expectations

  • Use your UX and visual design skills to wireframe, prototype, and test new product ideas
  • Define the visual language and overall design system of our applications  
  • Engage in a user-centered design process that works closely with our Strategy and Engineering teams
  • Conduct user research and design thinking sessions directly with customers
  • Work alongside our engineers to build your designs using modern front-end frameworks and AWS back-end services
  • Think creatively, own problems, seek solutions, and communicate clearly along the way
  • Contribute to a collaborative environment deeply rooted in learning, teaching, and transparency

Desired Skills and Experience

  • 5+ years of experience in digital product design
  • Proven track record of designing and shipping successful digital experiences
  • Excellent interaction design, visual design, and prototyping skills
  • Experience using Design Thinking methods
  • Ability to work with Engineering to build creative, feasible solutions that meet our business objectives
  • An aptitude for problem solving and storytelling
  • Ability to communicate effectively with colleagues at all levels
  • Portfolio required to apply (attachment or online)

Nice-To-Haves

  • Experience conducting user research/usability testing
  • Proficiency with modern front-end frameworks (React, JavaScript/TypeScript, CSS)
  • Experience developing design systems
  • Ability to participate in our company band (vocals/bass preferred but tambourine will work)

About Ridgeline

Ridgeline was founded by Dave Duffield in late 2017 to develop business software solutions for the investment management industry. Ridgeline’s employees -- most based at our dog-friendly headquarters in Incline Village, Nevada -- embrace the opportunity to live and work in the Lake Tahoe Basin, and the organization’s culture centers on the quality of life the locale offers.

These company core values guide our collective and individual behavior, decisions, relationships, and points of view: Employees, Customers, Integrity, Innovation, Fun, and Profitability. If these values frame what’s important to you, perhaps you’re one of us.

Ridgeline is proud to be a discrimination-free equal opportunity workplace.
