About The Position

At Sierra, we’re creating a platform to help businesses build better, more human customer experiences with AI. We are primarily an in-person company based in San Francisco, with growing offices in Atlanta, New York, London, France, Singapore, and Japan.
We are guided by a set of values that are at the core of our actions and define our culture: Trust, Customer Obsession, Craftsmanship, Intensity, and Family. These values are the foundation of our work, and we are committed to upholding them in everything we do.
Our co-founders are Bret Taylor and Clay Bavor. Bret currently serves as Board Chair of OpenAI. Previously, he was co-CEO of Salesforce (which had acquired the company he founded, Quip) and CTO of Facebook. Bret was also one of Google's earliest product managers and co-creator of Google Maps. Before founding Sierra, Clay spent 18 years at Google, where he most recently led Google Labs. Earlier, he started and led Google’s AR/VR effort, Project Starline, and Google Lens. Before that, Clay led the product and design teams for Google Workspace.
What you’ll do
Design interactive web experiences from scratch. You’ll lead projects from early concept and layout exploration through build, launch, and iteration—shaping structure, interaction, and motion, and using a CMS as a tool rather than a constraint.
Own Sierra’s website end-to-end. From product pages and launches to experimental brand moments, you’ll create experiences that balance clarity, craft, and conversion.
Move quickly without sacrificing quality. You’re comfortable moving from brief to production without heavy handoffs, making strong design decisions under speed while refining based on feedback and brand alignment.
Design where the brand is felt, not explained. Every interaction and detail is intentional. You focus on the moments that matter most and aren’t afraid to take creative risks to build something distinctive and memorable.
Collaborate cross-functionally with Marketing, Product, and with leadership to translate goals into cohesive web experiences, whether leading a project or supporting new ideas through launch.
Push Sierra’s web presence forward. You’ll explore new ways to make the brand feel genuine, human, and intentionally creative—while maintaining usability, performance, and scalability.
Build and evolve web systems and patterns that support consistency while leaving room for experimentation and special moments.
Own the global web experience, including ongoing localization. Ensure Sierra’s website scales across regions and languages while maintaining a consistent brand, design quality, and user experience.
