Senior Industrial Designer

ABOUT GOODR

We create and sell $25 active sunglasses for anyone. No slip, no bounce, all polarized, all fun. Interested in joining our team? Keep reading.

OUR VALUES: We have two core values: Fun & Authenticity.

• FUN = Being sh*tty isn’t fun. Agreed? Taking pride in your work, finding joy in being GREAT, and celebrating wins… and losses. Now, that’s fun!
• AUTHENTICITY = Focusing on being authentic over being liked. (Next-level guru stuff. Count it.)

Fun Fact: We do not allow email to be sent internally. Carrier pigeons only. JK, we use Slack.

AUTONOMY: We practice autonomy, empowerment, and accountability so that every team member can be in control of their own life.

• ONSITE POSITION: We can’t do this without you… here. You’ll spend 5 days per week in our cozy indoor jungle office that we call “The Lagoon”.

PURPOSE: We want to leave the world better than we found it in ways that are unique to an individual’s personal journey. But, what does that even mean??? It means:

• PURPOSE PROJECTS: Every team member gets to create their own project for making the world a better place. 

Fun Fact: One purpose project resulted in a team member’s band doing an instagram live with Sir Elton John! 

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for an all-star, a legend, an absolute wizard Industrial Designer. We have big dreams of cool new designs to grow our collections. Do you love spreading joy to people all over the world in the form of sunglasses? Do you see new releases on the runway and think “I can improve that design!”? Do you dream of making the world a more fashionable place? Are you screaming at your screen yelling “That’s me! That’s me goodr!”  If this sounds exciting to you then you might just be our candidate.
