Yourgi Pet is a consumer-facing pet care platform that connects pet owners with a verified network of caregivers and pet care locations for services like boarding, daycare, dog walking, grooming, veterinary care, and training. The company offers an app and online booking system, background-checked professionals, 24/7 booking, location search, webcam monitoring, and a rewards program to simplify scheduling and managing pet care across multiple U. S. locations.

📋 Description

• Design and ship features (~60%) • Design and ship features end-to-end across web, iOS, and Android for both Yourgi and Yourgi Pro, taking them from research and discovery through wireframes, prototypes, and final UI. • Translate two-sided marketplace dynamics, pet-parent and pro needs, and business requirements into intuitive, accessible (WCAG), scalable experiences. • Conduct and synthesize user research (interviews, usability testing, surveys) to ground design decisions in evidence. • Partner with product managers and engineers to shape product direction, and communicate design rationale clearly to leadership and cross-functional partners. • Lead the design team (~20%) • Manage one full-time designer and two contractors who function as full team members: 1:1s, growth conversations, design feedback, weekly reviews, and unblocking them on hard design problems. • Own design prioritization and allocation across the team, deciding who works on what each week and where the quality bar sits. • Run design crits and team rituals (weekly reviews, portfolio shares, working sessions). • Partner with the VP on hiring as the team grows: panel interviewing, portfolio reads, and eventually owning the loop. • Own and drive the transition to an AI-first design team (~20%) • Own and help drive Yourgi's transition to an AI-first design team alongside our cross-platform partners on web, iOS, and Android. • Establish how Yourgi designs with AI in practice: code as the source of truth, Storybook (and its mobile equivalents) as the durable component catalog, and Figma as the downstream collaboration surface. • Use AI tools (Claude, Figma AI, Cursor, v0, and similar) as part of how you ship: drafting new components as code, accelerating exploration, and holding the quality bar. • Set the standards and patterns the rest of the design team adopts as we scale.

🎯 Requirements

• 6+ years of professional experience in product design, UX, and UI, ideally within marketplaces, SaaS, consumer tech, or service-based platforms. • Direct experience managing or leading designers, even one or two reports, with confidence running 1:1s, giving feedback, and having growth conversations. • Track record designing for two-sided marketplaces, including supply and demand dynamics, discovery, and booking or transaction flows. • Experience designing for small business users, with a strong understanding of conversion, onboarding, and growth-focused experiences. • A bias for action. You move quickly, iterate rapidly, and look for the smallest design change that will produce the biggest impact, with comfort in rapid prototyping and rapid experimentation. • A strong portfolio demonstrating UX thinking, interaction design, visual craft, and problem-solving across complex flows. • Proven ability to lead design work from concept to launch in cross-functional, agile teams. • Deep understanding of UX principles, information architecture, and accessibility standards (WCAG). • Comfort using AI tools (Claude, Figma AI, Cursor, v0, and similar) as part of your daily design practice. • Fluency in design and collaboration tools: Figma, FigJam , Loom, User Interviews, Marvin, Lookback, Confluence. • Experience conducting or synthesizing user research and usability testing. • Strong communication skills and comfort presenting work to cross-functional partners and leadership. • High attention to detail with strong visual and interaction design instincts.
