Product Designer
We are looking for a designer who can bring the art world into the digital age.
You will shape experiences over web, mobile, and touch; working with engineers, art historians, and writers to help democratize the art world ? the last massive industry still completely undisrupted by technology.
Must Have's
Excellent interaction and structural design ability. You turn user needs and business goals into clear and compelling experiences. You’ve seen users struggle with your solutions, learned and adapted.
Foundational visual design skills. Ability to work within established visual frameworks and patterns.
Ability to take ownership of projects from start to finish, collaborating with different teams within Artsy (Engineering, Editorial, Art History, Partner Relationships).
Humility, maturity, lack of ego. You want to help grow a collaborative, optimistic, and supportive culture.
Nice to have's
Strong visual design portfolio. Ability to push Artsy’s presentation of art and content to new heights and develop how we communicate with the world.
Experience working with quantitative data to inform design decisions. You can separate signal from noise and define metrics that matter.
Qualitative user research experience. You can speak to anybody and everybody to identify latent needs, pinpoint hurdles in an experience, and use low resolution prototypes to get quick feedback towards a final solution.
Our Design Ethos
We believe great design is created in the intersection of rational analysis and creative leaps. Data informs us but cannot lead us.
We believe visual design is more than making things look good. It clarifies, communicates, and sometimes, moves us.
Design doesn't stop at screens and pixels. Every part of the customer experience can and should be designed.
About Artsy
We envision a world where a passion for art is just as common as it is for music today. Our goal is to make all fine art accessible to anyone in the world via any internet-connected device, from web, to mobile, to touch.
We’ve partnered with hundreds of leading galleries (e.g. Gagosian Galleries, Pace Gallery and Whitecube) and institutions (e.g. Guggenheim, The Whitney Museum of American Art, SFMOMA) to create a platform to learn about, discuss, and collect art.
Our goal is ambitious and wouldn't be possible without the amazing support of investors and advisors such as Peter Thiel, Jack Dorsey, Eric Schmidt, Dave Morin, Charlie Cheever, Alexis Ohanian, Dasha Zhukova, Wendi Murdoch, Thrive Capital, and Larry Gagosian.
Why Artsy
We know that the right candidate for Artsy could choose to work anywhere in the world. So why consider a small startup like us when you could work at Facebook, IDEO, or Apple?
First and foremost, you will get to work with an amazing team. We invest an extraordinary amount of time finding the best possible people. As you know, one great designer is better than a hundred good ones.
High alignment between Artsy's business goals and user experience goals. We don't need to sell ads or our user data to make money. The larger an audience we reach, and the more we educate them and help them discover art they love, the better our business does, and the more we support our institutional partners and the artists they represent.
There are no set hours or holidays, no pointless bureaucracy. World-class people deliver incredible results and are wonderful to work with ? what else matters? The Netflix Culture slides describe how we think about culture at Artsy.
In addition to design, technology is at the core of Artsy. This means you will get to work with some of the best engineers in the world, who are passionate about creating experiences that push the bleeding edge of technology. See our open-source contributions and engineering blog here.
Our downtown Manhattan office has stunning 360 degree views of New York.
At Artsy, we are bringing art, science, design, and engineering together. Forgive the cliche, but there's no better way to say it: we want to change the world.
If you want to change it with us, email designers@artsy.net. Please include your portfolio or links to prior projects.
