The Core team focuses on foundational member experiences such as sleep, strain, recovery, and fitness, as well as adjacent opportunities that deepen members’ understanding of their health and performance.

This is a senior individual contributor role focused on driving end-to-end design strategy and execution, shaping product direction, and elevating the quality of experiences across systems, including AI-powered capabilities.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

Own and drive design work across a product area or set of initiatives, leading projects from problem framing through execution and delivery

Apply strong UX judgment to complex problem spaces, structuring ambiguity and making clear, principled decisions about flows, tradeoffs, and overall experience

Translate complex systems, including AI-driven capabilities, into scalable interaction patterns, workflows, and intuitive user experiences

Partner closely with product managers, engineers, researchers, and data scientists to deliver high-impact projects from concept through launch

Work across teams and stakeholders to clearly communicate, advocate for, and align on design decisions and direction

Contribute directly to design execution, with a focus on interaction design and overall experience quality, while maintaining a high bar for visual polish

Provide structured, actionable feedback through critiques and day-to-day collaboration, and transition into managing and mentoring designers over time

QUALIFICATIONS:

7+ years of experience in product design, with a strong portfolio demonstrating end-to-end ownership of shipped work

Deep expertise in UX and interaction design, with experience simplifying complex systems into clear, intuitive experiences

Strong product thinking and decision-making skills, with the ability to evaluate tradeoffs and connect design work to user and business impact

Experience collaborating cross-functionally with product, engineering, and research to deliver impactful product outcomes

Excellent communication and storytelling skills, with the ability to influence stakeholders and drive alignment

Experience mentoring or supporting the growth of other designers through feedback, critique, or formal leadership

Experience designing for data-rich or AI-driven products is preferred

Passion for health, fitness, or helping people better understand and improve their bodies

Strong commitment to embracing and leveraging AI tools in day-to-day tasks, ensuring AI-assisted work aligns with the same high-quality standards as personal contributions.
