Description

Philo is a small, ambitious startup building the future of television.

Our product lets you watch your favorite shows on all the devices you care about, with intelligent search, insightful discovery, and effortless sharing — in short, we are building the TV watching experience that we've always wanted for ourselves.

Product Design & Ownership
Each team member owns what they build from start to finish.

We ship to production multiple times per week and keep unnecessary processes to a minimum so we can maintain our pace of rapid development.

The Product Design team is responsible for iterating, prototyping, and user testing designs to ensure a pixel-perfect product.

You will collaborate closely with other designers, as well as cross-functional partners and stakeholders to get your designs to the finish line.

It's not uncommon to go from understanding technical constraints to polishing design details; or to go from iterating around video encoder performance to addressing cross-platform needs.

As a Product Designer, you will be deeply involved throughout the development process, from ideation to to production. You will own the experience for a significant part of the Philo product. We are a small, collaborative, and mighty team.

We bounce ideas off each other, nerd out on the latest Figma update, and leave our egos at the door.

We are looking for the next designer to level up our already very talented design team.

Subscriptions & Payments
Philo's video streaming product is a paid subscription service that includes a base plan and various add-on packages.

We provide customers a simple, streamlined sign up, offering a variety of payment methods to best serve our users, who can also cancel at anytime, no contracts required.

We are continually looking to improve the overall user experience, payment flows, subscription conversion rates, and payment performance through user research, prototyping, testing, and a broad range of experimentation.

Responsibilities

Design, conduct, and synthesize user research activities to gain insights into user needs and address usability issues, utilizing data from user metrics and qualitative interviews.
Design flows and screens that are simple and powerful ways to find, watch and share television.
Demonstrate product design concepts from shaping ambiguous ideas to shipping highquality, wellcrafted experiences.
Contribute to strategic decisions with the rest of the product team
Prototyping, testing, researching and iterating upon new features.
Selfstarter and selfmotivated to move a project from concept to handing off designs to engineering.
Analyze and incorporate crossplatform metrics to inform design decisions and identify opportunities.
Partner with QA, marketing, support, and engineers to drive the user experience from concept until launch and continuing improvement.

Qualifications:

Experience in billing, subscription management, payment flows, and upselling (bonus points for experience with Philo's payment provider, Stripe).
Ability to think at a high level about product strategy and vision.
Ability to use prototyping to define interaction details and prove out design concepts, whether in code, design tools, or through other methods.
Ability to understand how designing one component can work throughout the entire product experience.
Experience with frontend development or ability to articulate how designs function through the lens of development tools
Experience designing with and for diverse groups of people.
You thrive in ambiguity.
Designing for TV experiences a plus but not required.
