Why you should apply:

Measurement is how our customers know their TV spend is working, and the surfaces we design for it have to make dense, multi-dimensional data feel obvious. We're looking for a designer who can take reporting and custom-measurement features from discovery through high-fidelity execution, with a genuine eye for data visualization that stays accurate as it gets simpler to read.

You'll be responsible for shipping excellent product design, not owning cross-team direction or the design system itself. You'll work fluently within the Tatari Design System, contribute to it, and drive your own work. What we need from you now is depth: thorough, complete design work, holistic systems thinking, and decisions backed by evidence. Delivering real customer value is our team's priority, and you would have a direct impact on that.

• You have empathy for user needs, as well as stakeholder needs.
• You care about interaction details - hover, focus, keyboard - as much as the high-fidelity comp.
• You can translate raw, multi-dimensional information into interfaces that are intuitive without distorting the underlying data.
• You think about edge cases and how a feature fits into the larger system, not just the screen in front of you.
• You partner well with PMs and engineers to understand a system completely before you try to improve it.

What you'll do:

• Let empathy be a guiding principle from discovery through delivery, taking reporting and custom-measurement features from discovery through high-fidelity design.
• Translate the measurement roadmap and detailed requirements into product solutions in partnership with product managers, engineers, and stakeholders.
• Dive into the discovery phase; run or assist with user interviews, usability tests, and other UX research methods.
• Create user flows, wireframes, low and high-fidelity mockups, and prototypes to communicate design ideas at the right fidelity, including interaction details like hover, focus, and keyboard states.
• Rationalize UX solutions with data, improve designs through user feedback, and thoughtfully question the status quo.
• Understand technical functionality and constraints and iterate to meaningful solutions within them.
• Contribute to the Tatari Design System; document parts of complex systems, share knowledge, and help onboard peers.

Who you are:

• 2-5 years designing digital products, with a portfolio of shipped work.
• Genuine data-visualization chops - you can design a chart, table, or dashboard that is both accurate and easy to read.
• Experience at a measurement, analytics, or data-heavy product company is ideal.
• A solid foundation in interface, interaction, and visual design, with growing accessibility fluency.
• Fluency in Figma and prototyping; experience with AI prototyping tools (e.g., Claude Design, Lovable, Cursor) a plus.
• A clear communicator who embraces feedback and collaboration.

Application Requirements:

• UX/Product design portfolio or case studies (minimum of 2) demonstrating unique perspective and contribution to products that have shipped, with successful outcomes.
• A resume that demonstrates the skills and expertise listed above.

Benefits

• Total compensation ($120,000 - 160,000) + Equity
• Health insurance coverage for you and your dependents
• 401K, FSA, and commuter benefits
• $150 monthly spending account
• $1,000 annual continued education benefit
• $500 Newbie Productivity Perk
• Unlimited PTO and sick days
• Monthly Company Wellness Day Off
• Snacks, drinks, and catered lunches at the office
• Team building events 
• Hybrid RTO of 2 days per week in office. *do not use this for office manager openings*

At Tatari, we believe in the importance of cultivating teams with diverse backgrounds and offering equal opportunities to all. We strive to create a welcoming, inclusive environment where every team member feels valued and diversity is celebrated.
