• Meet regularly with your counterparts in order to understand project requirements, get design feedback, and plan out work for the next few sprints based on roadmap and dependencies
• Be a champion for the user in the product roadmap planning process
• Design artifacts that provide the correct level of detail for the step in the process - be it conceptual mockups, presentations, or hi-fidelity mockups that are ready for Engineering to execute on
• Work on the Design System and build components to help scale a data-driven user experience. Our Design system can be found here: https://bugcrowd.design
• Able to build out the information architecture for any capability in the context of the existing product, but with the future in mind
