About Design @ Wish
We’re a tight-knit design team whose culture is chill, fun, and inclusive. We recognize that auto-layout, the 8-pixel grid, and emojis are our friends, and use each of these regularly. Our virtual team bonding events include watching movies together, playing Telephone Pictionary, and holding a cocktail mixing workshop.

As a team of remote research-based designers, we leverage experiment results and insights to release new features and products at a rapid pace to provide economic empowerment for 100 million users worldwide. Each product designer has the opportunity to make immediate impact and work on a number of individual projects from scratch to finish. We encourage our designers to trust their instincts to ship often and early, blend their designs with analytical thinking to touch every aspect of the business, and engage a multidisciplinary approach to design simplicity into all of our products. 

We’re looking for an experienced Lead Product Designer who is passionate about serving the often neglected demographic of lower-income, value-conscious consumers by designing better experiences for our sellers.  All product designers on the team touch every dimension of the seller experience and have an influential voice in determining the future business and design strategy at Wish. We are challenged by leadership to disrupt both existing work processes and thriving business models, to envision and build the future of affordable shopping.
