Requirements

• 8–12 years in product/UI design, with a portfolio that demonstrates mastery of both interaction design and visual craft
• Experience designing for health, biometrics, or data-rich consumer apps — you know how to make complexity feel simple
• Deep Figma fluency — as a design tool, a prototyping tool, and a system-building tool
• Strong motion sensibility; you think in transitions, not just screens
• Genuine fluency with AI design tools (Cursor, Claude, generative workflows) — not curiosity, actual working practice
• Comfort operating without heavy process scaffolding — you define the process as much as you follow it
• A clear point of view on what makes product design excellent, and the confidence to hold it

Responsibilities

• End-to-end design of the Eight Sleep app and product UI — from interaction architecture through final visual polish
• Own and evolve the product design system: components, patterns, tokens, and the rules that govern them
• Translate complex health and biometric data into interfaces that feel clear, calm, and premium
• Partner with product, engineering, and brand to ensure the in-app experience is coherent with the broader Eight Sleep aesthetic
• Set the craft bar for the product surface — your output is the reference point for designers, contractors, and cross-functional partners
• Prototype interactions and flows to validate concepts quickly before engineering investment

Benefits

• Equity participation to every full-time team member
• Periodic equity refreshments based on performance
• Pay grows rapidly as you accumulate experience with Eight Sleep and translate it into concrete impact
• Every Eight Sleep employee receives the very product that defines our mission: a Pod of their own
• Other great benefits
