About the Role

You will own the marketplace surfaces where critical decisions happen, including listing and submission, offers, bidding, auction close, 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 feel intuitive.
Explore and validate multiple design directions, pressure-testing and extending concepts with users.
Make critical experience decisions regarding the appearance, tone, and interaction of features.
Write all copy, as copy is considered an integral part of the design process.
Define and manage trust and confidence levels within the platform's user interface.
Build a high-quality foundation for your team to iterate on, ensuring fidelity through implementation.
Instrument and track key metrics before launch, and conduct your own readouts to identify and address misses.
Conduct weekly customer conversations, mine CX tickets and session replays, and run lightweight tests to gather evidence for your designs.
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, with a track record of owning outcomes end-to-end.
Experience shipping conceived products, not just executing specs, and ability to narrate problem-framing.
A portfolio organized around problems and outcomes, with quantitative data on impact.
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 in marketplace or two-sided platforms.
Experience with high-consideration or financial products where trust is a conversion problem.
Experience with consumer products with a passionate community.
Experience as a collector or a strong point of view on the trading card market.
