• Contribute to defining the product roadmap and establishing the foundations for our design language, systems, and culture.
• Employ creative strategies to deliver high-quality work within a fast-paced and often ambiguous startup environment.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering and Go-To-Market (GTM) teams as one of two designers.

Compensation

• Pogo offers above-market salaries and equity to attract top talent.
