Summary
Exygy seeks an enthusiastic, experienced, and creative Lead Designer who is passionate about making a difference in the world with design and technology. Join our tight-knit and growing product team to build out CiviForm, a platform that makes it easier to access and administer public benefits. While you’ll be focused on CiviForm, you’ll also be a member of Exygy’s design team, learning from and collaborating with peers on our Consultancy and Bloom businesses. This is a full-time remote position.
CiviForm is an open-source software collaborative and digital public good, co-owned and directed by the governments who use it. This role is an exciting opportunity to drive a new chapter in the platform’s design and work directly with local and state governments to hone a key piece of infrastructure through which they speak and deliver services to their residents. As Lead Designer on CiviForm, you will be responsible for setting the design strategy, mentoring other designers, and collaborating with product managers and engineers in all phases of the design process – from research to delivery and consistent, agile improvement. You will lead the creation of design assets that adhere to human-centered design principles. To support feature delivery, you will drive the governance of our design system, which helps the design and engineering teams be more effective and collaborative in delivery. This system includes themeable design tokens, a shared component library, and supporting documentation. You will also be a thought leader on the team, helping to establish and advocate for design best practices. CiviForm’s users are government administrators, benefits navigators, and residents—often members of underserved and underrepresented communities. Ensuring the final user experience is accessible, impactful, and equitable is essential to our approach to building.
