Responsibilities
Set the North Star: Define the long-term design vision for Merge’s core platform, ensuring individual features roll up into a cohesive, elite user experience
Navigate ambiguity: Take high-level business goals and 'fuzzy' problems and turn them into concrete, elegant designs and frameworks that uplevel our products and delight our customers

Drive strategy: Partner with founders and leadership across the whole company to translate business strategy into a tangible product roadmap through high-fidelity prototyping and vision work
Own the system: Architect and evolve our design system to ensure it doesn't just provide components, but enforces a philosophy of speed, consistency, and 'Merge-level' polish
Solve the hardest problems: Take ownership of the most complex, multi-sided technical workflows in our platform, simplifying them into intuitive experiences for developers
Evangelize design excellence: Relentlessly 'sweat the pixels' and hold cross-functional peers accountable to a standard of excellence that distinguishes Merge from the competition
Direct research & validation: Lead deep-dive customer research and usability testing to uncover friction points and validate core product hypotheses
Mentor and multiply: Raise the bar for the entire design team through rigorous design reviews, mentorship, and by defining 'what good looks like' at Merge
