About the Role

You will own the marketplace surfaces where key decisions happen, including listing and submission, offers, bidding, auctions, and payouts. Design at Alt is a core discipline that defines problems and requirements, not just executes them. You will be held to a high standard, ensuring that every surface you own ships with a clear problem frame, measurable metrics, and a user experience that delights.

Responsibilities

  • Own the problem framing for your surfaces, including identifying user pain points, gathering evidence, and defining success metrics.
  • Craft complete solutions that delight users and make the tool intuitive.
  • Explore and validate multiple design directions, pressure-testing and extending concepts with users.
  • Make critical experience decisions regarding UI, tone, and user flow.
  • Write all copy associated with your surfaces, as copy is considered an integral part of the design.
  • Define and manage trust and confidence levels within the platform's user interface.
  • Ensure the quality and implementation fidelity of the crafted design foundation.
  • Instrument and track key metrics before launch, and analyze results to identify and address misses.
  • Conduct weekly customer conversations, mine CX tickets and session replays, and run lightweight user tests.
  • Build working prototypes in code to evaluate ideas and settle design arguments efficiently.

Requirements

  • Demonstrated curiosity about users, with a proactive approach to gathering research.
  • Proven ability to make ambiguity tractable and define problems before solving them.
  • Strong articulation skills, capable of aligning teams on problems and defending design trade-offs.
  • Experience influencing without authority to drive product decisions and engineer buy-in.
  • Experience as a founding, early, or independent designer who owns outcomes end-to-end.
  • A portfolio organized around problems and outcomes, showcasing quantitative results.
  • Proficiency in prototyping with code or code-adjacent tools as a thinking medium.
  • Experience using AI tools like Claude, Cursor, Lovable, v0, or Figma Make in your workflow.
  • Experience with marketplace or two-sided platforms.
  • Experience with high-consideration or financial products where trust is a conversion factor.
  • Experience with consumer products featuring a passionate community.
  • Experience as a collector or a strong perspective on the trading card market.
