Product Designer

About the Role

Opendoor is on a mission to tilt the world in favor of homeowners by making buying and selling simple and fast. We're solving one of the most complex, high-stakes transactions in people's lives.

We're looking for a versatile Product Designer to join our lean, focused team. You'll primarily work on Growth (landing pages, top-of-funnel experiences, acquisition), but you'll also flex across our Seller and Buyer domains as priorities shift. This role is for someone who thrives in variety and can context-switch quickly without losing momentum.

You'll work in a fast-paced environment where priorities shift weekly, and you'll need to be comfortable owning multiple workstreams simultaneously. This is an in-person role based in San Francisco or Seattle.

 

What You'll Do

 

• Design for Growth and beyond: Your primary focus is Growth (acquisition, landing pages, top-of-funnel), but you'll regularly work on Seller and Buyer domains too. Expect variety—this isn't a single-focus role
• Move where the business needs you: Priorities shift weekly. You might design a marketing campaign Monday and optimize a complex product flow Wednesday. Flexibility is essential
• Bring strong visual craft: Your design quality sets the bar—whether it's a marketing landing page or a complex product flow, the visual execution needs to be exceptional
• Ship fast and iterate: Work in rapid cycles. Design, ship, measure, improve. Success is measured by conversion rates, user engagement, and business impact
• Think in systems: Contribute to our design system, knowing when to reuse patterns and when to create new ones. Your work should make the next designer (and engineer) faster
• Collaborate cross-functionally: Partner with Growth PM, brand, marketing, and engineering. Influence direction through craft and clear thinking, not title
• Self-manage: No hand-holding. You identify problems, propose solutions, align stakeholders, and drive work to completion

What You'll Need

• 5+ years of product design experience with a portfolio showing versatility across different problem types (growth/marketing AND product flows)
• Strong visual design skills: Exceptional eye for layout, typography, color, and creating experiences that build trust and drive action
• Generalist mindset: Comfortable designing landing pages Monday, complex multi-step flows Tuesday, mobile experiences Wednesday. You don't need perfect context to contribute
• Speed and pragmatism: You know when to polish and when to ship. Comfortable with 80% solutions that improve based on real data
• Business fluency: You speak in conversion rates, activation, retention. You connect design decisions to metrics that matter
• Systems thinking: You understand design systems deeply enough to extend them intelligently without slowing down
• High agency: You proactively unblock yourself and your team. You don't wait for perfect briefs or complete information
• Collaborative flexibility: Comfortable working with different PMs, engineers, and stakeholders as you move between teams

Bonus Points

• Experience in marketplace, e-commerce, or high-consideration purchase environments (real estate, automotive, finance)
• A/B testing and experimentation experience
• Front-end development skills (HTML/CSS) or comfort working in code
• Motion design or micro-interaction skills
• Previous experience in lean teams or startup environments

What Makes This Role Different

Generalist by necessity: We're a lean team solving complex problems across multiple domains. You'll get deep in Growth, but you'll also contribute wherever we need strong design thinking. If you want to own one thing for 6 months, this isn't it. If you want variety and direct impact, this is perfect

High autonomy: Small team means less process, more ownership. Your voice matters

Direct impact: Lean team means your work immediately affects millions of users and core business metrics

Room to shape the team: As we grow, there's opportunity to influence hiring, process, and team direction

Mission-driven work: Help people navigate one of the biggest, most stressful decisions of their lives

 

What This Role Is NOT

• A stable, predictable backlog where you work on one thing for 3 months
• A large team with specialized roles (there's no separate "growth designer" and "product designer")
• A place where you hand off designs and move on—you own outcomes, not just deliverables
• Remote-friendly—we work in-person to move fast and build strong collaboration
  
  

A fundamental drive and passion for Opendoor’s mission and the willingness to do the hard work required.
