The hiring market
What design work involves at an early-stage startup
You cover research, interface work and the brand, sometimes in the same week. No design system is waiting for you, so you build one while shipping. At a large company you would hand off a spec, and here you sit with the engineer building it.
Experience level
Open roles by the experience the posting asks for.
