The posting

Padlet https://padlet.com is building software for a good education. A good education is one that inspires curiosity, creativity, and community. Our software enables that through visual content creation and collaboration in millions of classrooms worldwide.

There are some products that are so good, you feel delight using them. You wish you had more problems just so could use the products more. Think Dyson vacuum cleaner, a faucet with the perfect laminar flow, a sharp knife, WD40.

We aspire to build such products at Padlet, and are looking for a Senior Product Designer to help us fulfill our aspirations.

This is an in-person role in San Francisco. You'll report directly to the CEO.

RESPONSIBILITIES

- Design of new products and features across mobile and web.

- Coach less experienced designers in the design team.

- Help hire more designers, if necessary.

- Put Padlet in the hands of a billion people.

QUALIFICATIONS

- You like working hard.

- You are honest.

- You've designed beautiful software products.

- Bonus: you have a good sense of humor.

ABOUT PADLET

- Vision: Every child in the world will grow up with Mickey Mouse and Padlet.

- Product: We are making the default way of collecting and sharing thoughts on the Internet. People love the product.

- Impact: We have 40 million users, making Padlet one of the most used apps on the planet.

- Money: We are venture backed AND fiscally responsible. We are built to last one hundred years.

- Badassery: We are only 60 odd people. That's over half a million active users per person.

JOYS OF DESIGNING AT PADLET

- We don't design with data or A/B tests unless we really don't know what the right answer is.

- We ship. Your work will not be stuck in purgatory for years.

- Your work will have a tremendous impact on global education.

- Every artist craves an audience. You'll start with 40 million.

SORROWS OF DESIGNING AT PADLET

- We don't design with data or A/B tests unless we really don't know what the right answer is.

- CEO has very strong opinions about design and can often be incorrigible.

- Work can be chaotic. "Change of plans. Let's do this instead." is not uncommon.

- You will get hate mail whenever you redesign something. Many users feel very strongly about the product.

SOME PEOPLE YOU‘D BE WORKING WITH

- Collin Palmer: Exclusively listens to movie soundtracks when working, especially the Darth Vader theme. One man product machine from speccing to shipping.

- Gerard Searchfield: Insists that wallabies and kangaroos are different animals, artificially inflating the biodiversity of his homeland. Will notice a 1px misalignment from 18 feet away.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
