Lead Designer

At Hover, collaboration and critique are central to how we design. We prototype early and often, challenge each other thoughtfully, and keep the user at the center of every decision. As a Lead Designer, you’ll help solve meaningful user problems while raising the bar for craft, clarity, and design thinking across the product.

You’ll work closely with Product Managers, Engineers, and Data partners to design, prototype, test, and ship high-quality product experiences. You’ll bring strong design fundamentals and product understanding to cross-functional conversations, helping teams navigate constraints and tradeoffs. You’ll also contribute to and evolve Hover’s design system as the product scales.
