Job Description

Humane is a team of proven industry experts who have invented, built, and shipped category-defining hardware and software products to billions of people across the globe. We're known for building the audacious, ambitious, and the impossible, and we're doing it again. Our vision for the next shift between humans and computing requires innovation across multiple emerging technologies in hardware and software, from devices to cloud services.

About The Role

The Humane Design team is dedicated to creating simple, delightful and transformative user experiences. We’re passionate about developing innovative yet familiar interfaces that feel like a natural extension of the human experience. We value collaboration across disciplines, from software engineering to hardware design. We’re excited to work with designers who see technology as a tool to help people tackle real-world problems. 

As a Visual Product Designer, you’ll imagine, design, and ship compelling new experiences. Your exceptional sense of style, impeccable taste, extensive experience, and extraordinary craft will be vital in shaping our design language and ensuring a seamless and visually appealing user interface. 

The ideal candidate brings intense curiosity, a dedication to craft and learning, and an openness to sharing and developing ideas. You love to learn, experiment, and engage in the design process. You enjoy the constant iteration and refinement of an idea until it feels “just right” (and even then, you keep questioning how to make it better). At Humane, you’ll have the opportunity to develop features & products that people will love using every day.

We request that you submit a Keynote or PDF presentation of 1-2 examples of your work, along with any passion projects, that you feel represent you as a designer. We’d love to learn how you think about product design and make decisions – from the experience of using a product to its look and feel, the craft behind it, and the trade-offs you made to ship.
