Role Description Discovery is one of the most important product areas at Whatnot. It shapes how buyers find shows, sellers, products, and categories they love — and how sellers build durable businesses through better reach and stronger buyer connections. Our work sits at the center of a complex matching problem: helping the right buyers find the right content at the right moment, in ways that feel relevant, trustworthy, and exciting. As Discovery evolves, we’re expanding beyond the feed itself into adjacent surfaces that help buyers come back more often and engage more deeply. That includes notifications that extend discovery out of the app, and ad experiences that help sellers grow while still feeling useful and native to buyers. We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer to join our Buyer Discovery pod at Whatnot. You’ll help design buyer-facing experiences focused on Discovery, with a particular emphasis on Ads and Notifications. In this role, you’ll work on experiences that help buyers discover relevant sellers, shows, products, and categories — both in product and through re-engagement surfaces like push notifications. You’ll also help shape ad experiences that feel relevant, well-integrated, and additive rather than disruptive. This is a great role for a designer who is excited by fast-moving consumer product work, strong cross-functional collaboration, and the opportunity to grow quickly through high-impact projects. - Design thoughtful, intuitive user experiences across buyer discovery surfaces on mobile and web - Contribute to the Messaging Platform that brings buyers back at the right moment with relevant, engaging content - Help shape Ad Experiences within discovery surfaces in ways that balance buyer relevance, seller value, and overall ecosystem health - Create flows, mocks, prototypes, and polished UI that clearly communicate design intent - Partner closely with product, engineering, data, and design peers to explore ideas, test hypotheses, and improve the user experience - Participate in critiques and feedback loops, and iterate quickly based on learnings - Sweat the details while keeping sight of the broader user and business goals You'll report to a Design leader and will have the option to either work from one of our office hubs (LA, SF, NY, or SEA) or remote (U.S. only). Qualifications - 5+ years of experience designing digital products - Strong visual and interaction design fundamentals - A portfolio that shows craft, clarity of thinking, and care for the end-to-end user experience - Curiosity about how design can support both user needs and business outcomes - Excitement to work on consumer-facing product experiences with high visibility and lots of iteration - Comfort collaborating with product managers, engineers, and other designers - A willingness to learn quickly, ask good questions, and incorporate feedback - Strong communication skills in both verbal and written form - High attention to detail and a desire to keep refining until the work feels right Requirements - Experience designing consumer products, marketplaces, feeds, messaging, or notification experiences (nice to have) - Interest in personalization, discovery systems, recommendations, or growth-oriented product work (nice to have) - Excitement for live commerce, collecting, or online communities (nice to have) Benefits - Generous Holiday and Time off Policy - Health Insurance options including Medical, Dental, Vision - Work From Home Support - Home office setup allowance - Monthly allowance for cell phone and internet - Care benefits - Monthly allowance for wellness - Annual allowance towards Childcare - Lifetime benefit for family planning, such as adoption or fertility expenses - Retirement; 401k offering for Traditional and Roth accounts in the US (employer match up to 4% of base salary) and Pension plans internationally - Monthly allowance to dogfood the app - Parental Leave: 16 weeks of paid parental leave + one month gradual return to work Company Description Whatnot is the largest live shopping platform in North America and Europe to buy, sell, and discover the things you love.
