Full Job Description
## Description Product Designer About Us Our mission is to electrify the world’s homes for healthy and sustainable living. Residential electrification is an extraordinary decarbonization opportunity - 145 million homes in the United States account for 20% of our climate emissions. But today electrification is painful - it’s too complicated, time consuming, and expensive. So we’re building a new experience for homeowners, contractors, and utilities. Zero bridges the gap between the digital and the physical with a frictionless experience that makes electrification fast, easy, and affordable. Join our team to build a world class consumer experience that just so happens to electrify America. About the Role & Your Impact This is an exciting opportunity to join an early stage company of talented Designers and Engineers, led by seasoned climate tech veterans. At Zero, Product Designers are individual contributors that report to a Lead Designer. You will work in small teams (1 Designer and 1-2 Engineers) in six-week cycles to take loosely defined projects and deliver new features. We are relentlessly focused on sustainable productivity. You should expect long stretches of deep work, minimal standing meetings, and effective in person collaboration with stakeholders and peers. We value and support a healthy work-life balance so you should also expect flexibility around your personal life. At Zero, Product Designers are generalists - they own product management, UX, and UI. And because everyone on the team is a builder, Product Designers also build early prototypes that will bring new products and features to life. We primarily use Figma, but Designers are increasingly using AI tools to accelerate ideation and prototyping. Some examples of products that our Design team supports are the redesign of our mobile app for homeowners to scan their home, as well as a new mobile app for contractors. We are also working on the evolution of a web based design tool for HVAC systems, a
