As designers, we love to solve problems and make users’ lives easier. At Gorgias you’ll work across two squads; Help Center and Revenue. You’ll be right at the forefront of helping out merchants by being in a squad that’s one of the first points of contact for our shoppers.

About the Design team at Gorgias

The Gorgias Design team currently consists of 10 talented individuals, with plans to expand to a team of 18 by the end of 2025. Our designers are based in various time zones, including Paris, New York, LA, and London. While each designer primarily focuses on their respective product team, closely collaborating with PMs and engineers, we also make sure to prioritize a strong connection within the Design team as a whole.

We have regular meetings such as Design Ops Weekly and Design Critiques, and we're continuously experimenting with new methods of asynchronous collaboration. This helps us to ensure consistency in our work and to foster mutual support and mentorship among all team members.

About Billing and DevRel squads

As a member of the broader design team, your primary focus will be supporting two key squads within the Ecommerce CRM domain: Billing and Developer Relations. Both squads play a crucial role in ensuring the business operates smoothly and continues to grow.

  • Billing Squad: This team oversees the in-product customer experience related to Gorgias subscriptions, payment processing, cancellations, and all aspects of the product’s billing functionality. This is a dynamic and challenging area, requiring a designer who is highly organized, adept at managing complex workflows, and comfortable addressing numerous edge cases. The scope offers a unique opportunity to make a tangible business impact by directly influencing revenue-related user experiences.

  • Developer Relations Squad: This team is responsible for maintaining Gorgias’ in-product app store, which features over 100 apps and integrations, including Shopify, Instagram, and WhatsApp. In addition, the squad builds new native applications and empowers third-party developers to create apps for the Gorgias platform.

As Senior Product Designer, you will be involved in every stage of the product building lifecycle, from discovery and ideation to prototyping, validation, and impact measurement. Being a part of Gorgias means being part of a fast-paced and high-growth company. We value agility, concise execution, and precision.
