Job description

Please include a portfolio for consideration.

 

Design Systems are at the core of the BlaBlaCar design, tech and product culture. They not only help create more intuitive and consistent experiences for our users, but also help our teams work more effectively, and deliver faster. Every page we touch, every experience we imagine, is built upon Pixar, our second generation of Design System.Working hand in hand with your product and tech partners you will be in charge of:

  • maintaining the system library integrity
  • leading design reviews with other teams to ensure design system compliance
  • designing new components or necessary evolutions
  • anticipate needs and build the future system generation 

 

Why join us?

Our design team comes from a variety of countries and backgrounds, yet we all have one thing in common: passion. We’re constantly challenging ourselves - whether it’s a user problem, a small interface bug, or a way of working; we’re always asking how we can make things better.

When asked what they like about working at BlaBlaCar, our Product Designers mention: “We are involved early in projects”, “We rely a lot on data to make decisions,”  “We’re designing a service that is actually changing how millions of people travel”, “We dive into fascinating topics like social interactions, trust mechanisms in different countries, value of comfort, or perception of time”, “We save a lot of time by working with our own design system”, “We work in a company with a strong design culture that embraces the value of UX”.

We’re always investing in our design team, and today, are looking for a Senior Product Designer to join us.

What you will do:

  • Build a smart, scalable system for our consumer-facing mobile and desktop applications. 
  • Work closely with a small cross-functional team (product managers, developers, data analysts, designers) that has a strong design culture and focus on research.
  • Use different exploratory tools and methods to identify Pixar user problems.
  • Act as an advocate for our users, both within the Pixar team and the rest of the organisation.
  • Refine how we document and organise our design system.
  • Be a champion for ensuring continued usage of the system.
  • Practice your design craft with attention to detail that can have impact at scale.
  • Create and build components that are robust and can help us scale our offering and are flexible enough to adapt to the requirements of new markets.
