Staff Product Designer, Contractors

As a Staff product designer, you’ll help bring our contractor products to maturity. You’ll be an IC designer helping drive foundational shifts to our platform and customer experiences. This is a unique opportunity to make major experience changes to established, business critical workflows. As part of a cross-functional team, you’ll drive the entire product development process from setting the long-term vision to strategic planning; all the way to launching new features and iterating on existing ones. Contractors play a huge role in our economy, and are becoming more prevalent every year.

Contract work offers flexibility and independence for workers, and hiring contractors helps small business owners scale quickly and access specialized skills. Our Contractors team helps small and medium business owners (SMBs) hire, manage, and pay domestic and international contractors. We also help contractors manage their client engagements and build their own thriving businesses.
