As a Product Designer, you will play a pivotal role in the development of technologies that serve billions of users globally, including platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp, and Meta Quest. Your work will encompass the entire product development process, from brainstorming innovative ideas to refining the final product just before launch. You will be expected to leverage your comprehensive skills in product design, interaction design, and visual design, while also contributing to high-level strategic decisions alongside product and executive partners.

Your strategic input will help shape the future direction of Facebook products, and you will actively participate in feedback sessions with designers and the broader product team to enhance quality continuously. Collaboration is key, as you will work closely with product managers, engineers, researchers, and content strategists to oversee the user experience from conception to launch. You will also represent your work to the product team and other leaders, articulating your goals and concepts clearly and succinctly.
