What are the responsibilities and job description for the Product Designer II - Rider Verticals position at Uber?
About The Role
The Rider Design team is looking for a Product Designer II to craft thoughtful, scalable solutions to help people go anywhere and get anything.
Rider Design covers a wide range of focus areas including Core rider experience (from app open to ride booking and the on-trip experience), Mobility Verticals (like Airports, Car Rentals, Shared Rides, and Reserve), and the future of Autonomous Ride-hailing. While we've designed a best in class product, there is still plenty to improve on and many new areas to explore, and that's where you come in.
As a designer on the Rider team, you will create intuitive, inclusive, and delightful experiences for people around the world. Your work will span interaction, systems, and service design, grounded in a human-centered process that balances user needs, business goals, and technical possibilities. You will need to consider modular frameworks when designing for different product offerings, geographies, and users in the context of a complex multi-sided marketplace. You will collaborate with engineers, product managers, researchers, data scientists and fellow designers who care deeply about quality and speed.
What You Will Do
Onboard to the Uber Design team: Learn how we collaborate and use design tools, how to design with the Uber Base design system, and how we design for clarity, inclusion, accessibility, scalability, and global localization.
Onboard to your product area: Meet your cross-functional stakeholders, learn about their business goals and strategy, get familiar with existing tech platforms, and understand your team's product development and launch review process.
Scope: Work on projects of all sizes, from problems that are well-known to those more complex and conceptual, while leading a roadmap in your product area.
Process: Build a deep understanding of the users you are designing for through data and research, lead the end-to-end design process, solicit and incorporate feedback from experts, translate your designs to build with engineers, and work flexibly with a variety of teams. Design at all levels of fidelity, thoroughly explore the problem space, and practice good judgment on making tradeoffs.
Craft: Turn big ideas into simple, elegant products. Ship features that are effective and easy to use. Deliver designs that are innovative and scalable. Document design frameworks such that others can build upon your solutions. Have a strong understanding of business, data, and engineering requirements, and create experiences that deliver real customer value.
Efficiency: Prioritize and manage your time efficiently, operate with high autonomy, manage several concurrent projects at once, and collaborate effectively.
Communication: Communicate with clarity and persuasiveness, and effectively present your work and rationale to all the relevant stakeholders. Proactively communicate with your team and manager, facilitate design sessions, and collaborate with other designers. Maintain honest and trusting relationships with your team.
Influence: Lead team activities through ideas, organization, and execution. Supports internal initiatives to improve the Design team. Shares your skills and learnings with other team members.
