What youโll do
You're about to hop on board with Make Labs, an early-stage startup nested in a big-league company, on a super cool mission to shake up the no-code universe all over again. You'll join a squad of brilliant folks, driving the visual design, pitching in on the big picture of the product, and crafting the kind of experience that'll have our customers grinning from ear to ear. You're gonna roll up your sleeves, jump in, and have a blast turning wild ideas into reality.
Why design matters

Our ideal candidate lives and breathes the intersection of aesthetics, experience, and possibility as it relates to building amazing products. This role is an opportunity to significantly impact the future of Make. Itโs a role for someone who sees every pixel, but also craves knowing the why and how it matters to customers.
