Role

Who you are

  • 3+ years experience in UX and UI in mobile design
  • You’ve shipped your designs to public users and have data that proves either success or failure
  • You are able to consider the technical implications of design decisions and have the ability to find the right balance between new user value and technical effort
  • You have experience coaching junior designers and collaborating closely with Product Managers
  • You are obsessed with simplicity, have a high-quality bar for the aesthetics in your design
  • You thrive as an independent thinker and can manage the design process from end to end even in open-ended ambiguous environments
  • Able and flexible to iterate fast and often
  • You are confident writing clear agendas and presenting design evolutions to C-Suite leadership

What the job involves

  • This role will own the design of the Eight Sleep app
  • Design: You’ll sit at the intersection of Design and Product, leading the end-to-end design and evolution of the Eight Sleep app
  • Your responsibilities will encompass the full spectrum of product design, from information architecture and low-fidelity wireframes to high-fidelity mockups, and everything in-between
  • Validate: You’ll conduct usability studies and user interviews to inform design work. You’ll use data to inform the success or failure of the design
  • Iterate: You’ll combine qualitative and quantitative customer insights to make design decisions that improve our app experience, reduce churn, and increase engagement
  • You’ll work as part of an interdisciplinary team to deliver captivating user experiences that increase membership value and support hardware innovations
  • You’ll build, document, and organize the UI components of our design system to drive consistency across our app and the rest of the brand
  • You’ll align with Product and Brand stakeholders and clearly present design updates to C-suite leadership for feedback and approval
  • You’ll serve as the subject matter expert responsible for app design patterns and interactions - including researching and staying up-to-date on emerging mobile design trends and best practices
  • You’ll collaborate closely with the Engineering, Product, and Marketing teams to ship world class products and features

Our take

The last decade has seen a major uptick in the number of startups and companies dedicated to supporting consumers to build good health habits, typically around food and fitness. That enthusiasm is now quite rightly being extended to how we sleep.

Eight Sleep makes “smart” mattresses and mattress covers (for regular mattresses) that use machine learning and other artificial intelligence-based algorithms to improve your sleep both by changing temperature and monitoring other physical parameters to provide an overall picture of your health.

The company is focused on two levers for growth. First, building out more technology through additional products and acquisitions, exemplified by the introduction of Span Health’s fitness-tracking app. Secondly, international expansion in Europe, where it has got off to an impressive start in the UK.
