About the job

Annual releases gave way to two-week sprints years ago, and the platform now handles over 200 million API calls a day. We run one of the larger SaaS platforms for commercial insurance carriers, processing millions of policy transactions a year. Most engineers work remotely and come into the office one week a quarter for planning.

What you'll be doing:

Build interactive prototypes to test ideas before engineering starts
Check analytics after launch to see how designs perform
Partner with content design on microcopy and error messages
