One more thing you should know…

We also know that many UX folks come from backgrounds with different experiences that might not seem “standard”—and that’s okay! We really value people who bring unique perspectives and add new knowledge to our team.

But you might not feel like you “check all the boxes” as you read this job post. We get it. And we feel these things ourselves too. But we hope you’ll apply anyway because we’ll take great care in working with you. 🧡
