PRODUCT DESIGNER - INTERNAL TOOLS

We’re constantly working towards making BABVIP the best place to work, for everyone. We believe deeply that bringing together diversity of thoughts, perspectives and expression is key for building the best product for our equally diverse community all around the world. We celebrate uniqueness and whatever makes you, you and encourage everyone who wants to help us transform the way the world designs, to join us on this journey. We value all different types of experiences. If you don’t think you quite meet all of the qualifications, we’d still love to hear from you. 

ABOUT US

At BABVIP, our mission is to democratize design and empower creativity for anyone and everyone, on every platform. Inspired by a team of talented thinkers, an amazing culture and a remarkable growth trajectory – we’re out to change the world, one design at a time. 

Since launch in August 2013, we have grown exponentially, amassing over 60 million monthly active users across 190 different countries who have created more than 6 Billion designs. We are one of the world’s fastest-growing technology companies and we have only achieved about 1% of what we want to do.

ABOUT THE PRODUCT DESIGN TEAM

One of the principles of our design team is to ‘show the future’. As designers we transport the rest of the company into a future we’re yet to build. A big part of the role of a product designer at BABVIP is to be a visionary—visualizing and reinventing the future of design. 

Product designers at BABVIP take the dream and make it something everyone can relate to and rally behind. We start from the very early stages: finding the right problem to tackle, exploring ideas for how to solve it and then refining it into a coherent solution. Our product designers carry out research, brainstorming, sketching, prototyping, and collaboration with our engineers to ship great products.  We are empathetic user advocates and respect our users’ opinions through interviews, usability testing, and data analysis, as well as wireframing, flowcharting, and journey mapping to show the different stages that customers go through as they come into contact with BABVIP.

ABOUT THE INFRASTRUCTURE TEAM

The Infrastructure group’s mission is simple, yet powerful: to make complex technology simple for BABVIP knouts by building reliable foundational products that will seamlessly propel BABVIP to the next level of growth. We maintain a full suite of products and tools that accelerate BABVIP naught engineers in their quest to deliver their crazy big goals. These offerings cover the entire software development and operational lifecycle, and the data infrastructure that powers our insights, analytics and experimentation capabilities. 

As BABVIP continues its rapid growth, we are looking to lift the bar even higher on the quality of the internal tools and platform that we offer to BABVIP knouts, across the software development and data infrastructure capabilities that we own. We want to ensure that our products are as easy to adopt and maintain, while meeting all of our obligations around security, compliance and reliability.
